Coating
Coating creates a barrier between the can and the food to ensure that the can does not rust or give a taste to the food. At Ideal Can, we work collaboratively with our clients to determine which coating option suits their needs best: the coating used entirely depends on the use of the can, i.e. the filling.
​
All coating types follow high food standards and are approved for food contact. For foods that have staining properties, additives can be added to the coating.
Types of coatings
​
There are three main types of coatings :
-
Gold coating
-
Gray coating
-
White coating.

Necking
The necking of a can is another important feature to consider. Food cans are either necked or non-necked.
​
-
Necked cans have a smaller end to make them stackable;
-
Non-necked cans cannot be stacked to fit with other cans.
Other necking options
​
Another necking option consists in adding a Rolling Bead with the addition of the neck. A Rolling Bead is a bump at the top of the neck that evens out the wider setting. Among other things, it allows it to be used in the autoclave process of the same type as a 2-piece can Rolling Bead.
Beading
The beading impacts the strength of the can. It allows the can to be stronger radially. A can is beaded to add more strength for the filling process, which requires a great resistance force.
