Product Introduction
A 3 piece can is a widely used metal packaging solution for both food and industrial applications. It is made of three components: a cylindrical body, a top end, and a bottom end. The body is formed from tinplate or coated steel, rolled into shape, and welded along the side seam before sealing.
This structure offers high flexibility in can dimensions, making it suitable for products such as canned food, powdered goods, edible oil, and chemical materials. Compared with other can types, it allows easier adjustment of diameter and height to meet different packaging requirements.
With strong structure, reliable sealing, and compatibility with printing and coating processes, 3 piece cans support efficient production and flexible customization. FANWO packing provides stable supply and consistent quality to help customers achieve dependable packaging results.
A standard 3 piece can consists of the following components:
Top End – Seamed onto the body for sealing after filling
Bottom End – Attached to provide structural support and containment
Side Seam (Welded Joint) – Ensures strength and leak resistance
This structure provides excellent flexibility in size customization while maintaining reliable performance during filling, sealing, and transportation.
