The South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) enforces rigorous requirements on plastic materials destined for food and beverage contact. COPAK's manufacturing process uses only 100% virgin, high-viscosity PET resin. This ensures that every container meets the chemical safety standards, low migration levels, and heavy-metal thresholds mandated for food packaging imported into Korea.
Under South Korea's amended "Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources," packaging is classified into specific recyclability tiers (Excellent, Good, Normal, Difficult). Our PET cans are manufactured without colorants or embedded barriers that hamper recycling streams. Combined with easily separable labels and high-grade aluminum ends, our containers support Korean brand owners in qualifying for favorable recycling grades.
Ready-to-Drink (RTD) packaging in South Korea's convenience store networks (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven) demands absolute premium presentation. Clear, double-seam PET cans allow consumers to visually assess the quality, freshness, and physical contents of specialty beverages (such as fruit pulp infusions, multi-layered cold coffees, and sparkling draft mocktails) immediately at the shelf.
The global export success of Korean beverages ("K-Beverages"), ranging from canned traditional ades to premium cold-brew RTD coffee, has created a critical demand for container structural integrity. Exporters require packaging that can withstand prolonged maritime transport while maintaining gas-barrier properties and pristine visual appeal.
As a strategic exporter, COPAK provides custom PET packaging engineered for cold chain and ambient transport. Our proprietary stretch blow-molding technology strengthens the polymer chains in the container walls, minimizing deformation and micro-cracking risks during long-haul transport and fluctuating pressure environments.
Understanding the mechanical properties and environmental metrics that differentiate premium PET canning systems from traditional packaging alternatives.
| Performance Metric | COPAK Premium PET Cans | Traditional Glass Bottles | Standard Aluminum Cans |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optical Clarity / Transparency | Excellent (>92% Light Transmission) | High (Variable by color) | Opaque (0% Visual transparency) |
| Weight Efficiency | High (~25g - 35g for 500ml) | Low (~250g - 350g for 500ml) | High (~15g - 20g for 500ml) |
| Impact Resistance (Shatterproof) | Excellent (Will not shatter on drop) | Fragile (High breakage rate) | Good (Prone to denting) |
| Recycling Compatibility (Korea rules) | 100% Recyclable (Grade 1 Clear PET) | High (Requires color-sorting) | Excellent |
| Sealing Standard Compatibility | Universal 202#, 206# Aluminum EOE | Crown caps, screw tops | Standard EOE / SOT |
Our packaging utilizes high-purity, monolayer PET that exhibits optimized O₂ and CO₂ transmission limits. This retains beverage carbonation and blocks oxygen migration, protecting delicate sensory notes in craft sodas and premium teas.
Precision tooling ensures the can neck and flange maintain a variation tolerance of <0.15mm. This consistency avoids seaming failures during automated filling processes, reducing production downtime and micro-leakage risks.
Engineered with structural ribbing at the base and optimal wall-thickness profiles, our cans withstand top-load forces exceeding 150 kgf, supporting safe high-density palletization and transport.

Yes. All of our PET containers are manufactured using 100% virgin food-contact grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resins. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure zero heavy metal, phthalate, or chemical migration, complying with the standards set by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and global bodies like the US FDA and SGS.
PET cans are designed with standard metal-neck profiles (typically 202# or 206# diameter). You can use standard automatic or semi-automatic can seaming machines. However, because PET is more flexible than aluminum, the seaming rollers must be adjusted with lower pressure to create a perfect double-seam without warping the plastic neck. We also supply custom automatic smart sealing machines configured for PET application.
Yes. Our reinforced carbonated-model PET cans are structurally engineered to withstand internal pressures associated with typical carbonation levels (up to 2.5 - 3.0 volumes of CO₂). It is vital to select our pressure-resistant models to prevent base dome-inversion or sidewall swelling during transport.
We provide full-service customization including container height modifications, capacity changes (from 1oz to 32oz), and custom logo printing. We offer high-definition printing (up to 6 colors) directly on the transparent surface, or we can assist in sourcing shrink sleeves that comply with Korean recycling guidelines.
Shipping from our ports in Shanghai or Shenzhen to South Korean ports (Incheon, Busan) typically takes between 2 to 4 days. We provide complete documentation including Certificates of Origin under the China-Korea FTA, commercial invoices, packing lists, and raw material certificates to ensure seamless customs clearance.
Under South Korea's Resource Recycling Act, our clear, colorless PET cans are highly recyclable. Consumers are encouraged to remove any adhesive sleeves or labels before disposal. The remaining clean PET body and aluminum top are easily separated and processed by standard automated sorting facilities.
