Product Description

We provide a comprehensive range of 202# diameter aluminum lids designed to perfectly seal our PET cans. Whether you need traditional functionality, safety-focused peeling, or a wide-mouth drinking experience, we have the right closure for your product.

🥤 1. 202# SOT Lid (Stay-On Tab)

Description: The Stay-On Tab (SOT) is the industry standard for beverage cans worldwide. The tab remains attached to the lid after opening, eliminating loose waste and ensuring a convenient experience for consumers.

  • High Pressure Resistance: Engineered to withstand the internal pressure of carbonated drinks.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: The tab stays connected to the can, making recycling easier and reducing litter.
  • Classic Functionality: Provides the satisfying "crack-and-fizz" opening sound.

How to Use: Lift the ring tab up to break the seal. Push the tab back down to drink. The tab does not detach.

Best Applications: Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD), Sparkling Water, Craft Beers, and Energy Drinks.

🛡️ 2. 202# EPE Lid (Easy Peel End)

Safety and Convenience for All Ages: The EPE lid utilizes a safe, aluminum foil membrane heat-sealed to a metal ring. Designed for effortless opening without sharp edges, it is the safest choice for family-oriented products.

  • Safety First: No sharp metal edges are left after opening, preventing injuries.
  • Effortless Opening: Requires significantly less force, ideal for children and seniors.
  • Versatile Use: Customers can peel for full-flavor experience or use a straw. Perfect for Boba tea and juices.
  • Excellent Seal: Superior barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light.

How to Use: Lift the small foil tab on the edge. Gently peel back the foil layer completely to reveal the contents.

Best Applications: Dry Foods (Nuts, Candy), Desserts (Puddings, Ice-Cream), and Non-Carbonated Beverages.

🍺 3. 202# FA Lid (Full Aperture End)

The Ultimate Drinking Experience: Often called the "Full Open End," this lid allows the entire top of the can to be removed, transforming the PET can into a drinking cup.

  • Wide Mouth Opening: Allows for a faster pour and easier drinking flow.
  • Enhanced Aroma: Essential for craft beers and aromatic coffees to let scents escape.
  • Dual Function: Once opened, the can functions as a cup, perfect for adding ice cubes or fruit garnishes.

How to Use: Lift the pull-ring tab until it snaps, then pull upwards and backwards to tear the entire panel off.

Best Applications: Craft Beers, Nitro Coffee, Cold Brew, and Chunky Foods/Puddings.
