Dents in Transit
It is expected that you get up to 5% of the cans with dents in transit or damage in transit so please factor that into the purchase when you buy these cans.  We would prefer if customers would pick up the cans from our premesis to avoid freight damage however if you would like them shipped to you please expect that some cans might be dented or damaged.  Empty aluminium cans are quite delicate.  If we were to pack these in more expensive cardboard box it would be more expensive than simply having some dented/sacrificial cans arrive.

Unlike traditional cans these Full Aperture cans allow the whole360 degree end to be removable meaning the entire lid of the beverage can is removed, turning the metal can itself into a drinking cup and eliminating the need for separate glassware. Ideally suited for the beer industry this can allows the full flavor and aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses. It also makes the beverage can even more appealing than bottles and other packaging types.  So for the glass-like experience, this is the ultimate disposable packaging type.

Aluminum cans have clear benefits over glass.  Some of these include:

1. Recyclable: They are more recyclable. (significantly higher percentage of cans gets recycled due to the fact that old glass is not economical to recycle without subsidies from the government).  Aluminium has a higher value as a bulk commodity making it more lucrative to recycle and therefore increasing the recycling rates.

The environmentally responsible way to recycle full aperture lids is to remove the lid and retain this lid until you finish drinking the can. After you have finished, put the lid into the can and crush the can with the lid inside. This will ensure the entire can and lid gets recycled.

2. Safer: Aluminium is safer and often the only choice for drinking around swimming areas, sporting events etc and obviously do not shatter like glass and less likely to be used as a weapon than glass.

3. Lighter: Cans are significantly lighter than glass

4. Impervious to light: Cans keep the beverage in complete darkness meaning your beer will never get light-struck or damaged by light.  This keeps the beverage in significantly better condition especially if drinking outdoors in sunlight.

5. Hermetic Seal: Unlike bottles that leak very small amounts of oxygen into the beverage and allow small amount of CO2 loss, aluminium cans are completely impervious to gas transmission meaning the beverage stays fresher for longer.  This is particularly the gas for O2 ingress that shortens the shelf life of beer and reduces beer freshness and quality.  It is the ultimate beer storage container for this reason alone.
