A common question we receive from beverage producers is: "Can plastic cans really handle carbonated drinks?" The answer is a resounding yes—but only if you use the right type of plastic can. Not all PET containers are created equal. Here is why our Pressure-Resistant PET Cans are the perfect vessel for your sparkling water, craft soda, or beer.
Carbonated beverages release CO2 gas, which builds up internal pressure. In a weak container, this can cause the bottle to bulge, deform, or even burst. Traditional thin plastic cups cannot handle this. Our PET Soda Cans are engineered specifically to withstand this stress.
Our cans are manufactured with a thicker wall density and a reinforced bottom design compared to standard juice bottles.
Structure: The cylindrical shape is naturally strong against internal pressure.
Material Strength: We use high-grade PET that mimics the rigidity of glass but without the fragility.
The Seal: The critical point is the lid. Our cans are designed to be seamed with Aluminum Easy Open Ends (EOE). This metal-to-plastic seam is hermetically sealed, trapping the carbonation inside just as effectively as an all-aluminum can.
One concern with plastic is gas permeability (CO2 escaping over time). While glass and aluminum are absolute barriers, modern PET technology has advanced significantly. Our high-quality PET cans offer excellent gas barrier properties, ensuring your drink stays fizzy and fresh for its intended shelf life.
For events like concerts, sports stadiums, or pool parties, glass is often banned due to breakage risks. Aluminum can dent. PET beverage cans offer the safety of plastic—they won't shatter if dropped—making them the preferred choice for outdoor venues and event organizers.
If you are brewing a sparkling beverage, don't compromise. Choose a packaging partner that understands the science of carbonation.
