High-clarity, structural-grade PET cans designed to meet Berlin's rapid-fill processing requirements.
In Berlin’s hyper-competitive beverage sector, packaging is no longer just a vessel—it is a critical point of operational efficiency, carbon accounting, and retail differentiation. From dynamic startup beverage brands in Kreuzberg to established bottling operations in Brandenburg, the demand for high-clarity, lightweight, shatterproof packaging has driven a macro-economic shift toward food-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) cans. By coupling the high visibility of glass with the light footprint of aluminum, custom PET cans offer a distinct advantage for ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, specialty cold brew coffees, kombuchas, and functional wellness sodas.
Berlin is characterized by rapid consumer movement, high consumption of cold beverages on-the-go (via local Spätkauf stores), and strict municipal mandates regarding waste reduction. The clear physical design of PET showcases the vibrant hues of natural infusions and juices, which triggers immediate impulse purchases. Mechanically, they are compatible with existing canning configurations, only requiring minor adjustments to standard seaming machines.
Operating within the German market requires strict adherence to environmental laws. All packaging distributed within Berlin must comply with the German Packaging Act (VerpackG), which mandates registration with the Central Agency Packaging Register (LUCID) and participation in a dual system for waste recovery. PET containers, including our PET soda cans with aluminum easy-open ends (EOE), are highly regarded within this system due to the mature collection channels in Germany. The separation of the aluminum lid and the PET body during shredding processes is highly optimized, ensuring high material recyclability yields.
Furthermore, our PET cans are manufactured to align with the requirements of the Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH (DPG). By using DPG-compliant material configurations, Berlin-based distributors can easily apply the required deposit barcodes, keeping packaging loops closed and reducing eco-tax overheads.
Having supplied PET cup and PET cans to numerous renowned brands, our products are now distributed globally.
A comparative breakdown of how Copak PET cans maintain barrier integrity and pressure thresholds under mechanical duress.
Our PET formulations are optimized for minimal Gas Transmission Rates (GTR). For carbonated beverages, maintaining inner pressure is critical. COPAK's manufacturing process relies on advanced stretch blow molding, yielding uniform wall distribution which eliminates weak stress points.
This strict manufacturing method ensures consistent axial strength. As a result, our PET cans can withstand vertical pallet stacking pressures, significantly minimizing overall distribution damages.
Established in 2021, Shanghai COPAK Industry Co., Ltd. maintains a sales office in Shanghai and an associated factory in Guangdong Province.

Sourcing PET packaging at wholesale volumes requires balancing lead times, customs procedures, and shipping costs. As a global strategic partner with offices in Shanghai and production assets in Guangdong, COPAK specializes in logistics routes directly serving Berlin. Our logistics networks accommodate shipping via Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven, followed by efficient container transport to local warehouses.
We work with logistics managers to pack shipping containers tightly. By nesting clear PET cups and utilizing thin-wall, high-strength structures, we decrease shipping volumes, lowering the freight cost per unit and reducing overall transport emissions.
A primary concern for micro-breweries and craft beverage brands switching from aluminum to PET is seam calibration. Our PET cans feature an engineered rigid neck flange that replicates the mechanical profiles of traditional aluminum cans. Standard 202# Easy Open Ends (EOE) in both SOT (Stay-On Tab) and RPT (Ring Pull Tab) varieties fit securely onto our containers.
When running PET on automated seaming lines, sealing head pressures must be calibrated precisely. Because PET has different mechanical properties than aluminum, a softer seal profile with precise roll-forming dimensions (First Operation and Second Operation Seaming Rolls) prevents packaging deformation while securing a tight barrier seal.
In response to the European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan, our technical division is advancing several packaging initiatives:
Technical answers to help engineers, plant managers, and procurement officers make informed decisions.
Yes. All of our PET materials comply with European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) directives, including Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials intended to come into contact with food. They are certified BPA-free and manufactured in FSSC 22000 certified facilities.
Standard PET is thermoplastic, making it suited for cold-fill and warm-fill processes up to 55°C. For pasteurization processes, please consult our technical team to discuss specialized heat-set PET grades.
Our standard Minimum Order Quantity for custom-printed cans is 30,000 units per design. For blank, clear cans, smaller minimum quantities are available depending on inventory schedules.
The DPG deposit barcode can be directly printed onto custom-designed labels or wet-glue labels. The PET material must meet the strict clarity and weight requirements set by the DPG to ensure trouble-free processing in automated reverse vending machines (Pfandautomaten).
