1. 202# SOT Lid (Stay-On Tab)

Description: The Stay-On Tab (SOT) is the industry standard for beverage cans worldwide. As the name suggests, the tab remains attached to the lid after opening, eliminating loose waste and ensuring a familiar, convenient opening experience for consumers.
Key Features:
High Pressure Resistance: Engineered to withstand the internal pressure of carbonated drinks without buckling or leaking.
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 that consumers associate with fresh, carbonated beverages. How to Use: Lift the ring tab up to break the seal. Push the tab back down (or leave it slightly elevated) to drink. The tab does not detach. Best Applications: Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) Sparkling Water & Seltzers Craft Beers & Ciders Energy Drinks

202# EPE Lid (Easy Peel End / Easy Peel Off)

Safety and Convenience for All Ages
Description: The Easy Peel End (EPE) lid utilizes a safe, aluminum foil membrane heat-sealed to a metal ring. It is designed for effortless opening without the sharp edges associated with traditional metal lids. It is the safest choice for family-oriented products.
Key Features:
Safety First: No sharp metal edges are left on the can or the lid after opening, preventing cuts and injuries.
Effortless Opening: Requires significantly less force to open compared to traditional metal tabs, making it ideal for children and seniors.
Two Ways to Enjoy Your Drink: Designed for the modern beverage market. Whether your customers want to peel the top for a full-flavor experience or pop in a straw for spill-free sipping, this lid does it all. Perfect for Boba tea, iced coffee, and juices.
Excellent Seal: The high-quality foil membrane provides a superior barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light, keeping the contents fresh.
Lightweight: Reduces the overall weight of the package.
How to Use: Lift the small foil tab provided on the edge. Gently peel back the foil layer completely to reveal the contents. Discard the foil lid responsibly.
Best Applications: Dry Foods (Nuts, Candy, Snacks) Desserts (Cakes, Ice-Cream, Puddings) Powdered Drinks (Coffee, Protein Powder) Non-Carbonated Beverages Pickles or Preserved Fruits

202# FA Lid (Full Aperture End)

The Ultimate Drinking Experience
Description: The Full Aperture (FA) lid, often called the "Full Open End," allows the entire top of the can to be removed. This transforms the PET can into a drinking cup, enhancing the aroma and flow of the beverage.
Key Features:
Wide Mouth Opening: Removing the entire lid allows for a faster pour and easier drinking flow—perfect for "gulping" thirst quenchers.
Enhanced Aroma: By opening the full top, the consumer can fully smell the beverage's aroma, which is essential for craft beers and aromatic coffees.
Dual Function: Once opened, the can essentially functions as a cup, allowing users to add ice cubes or fruit garnishes easily.
How to Use: Lift the pull-ring tab until it snaps the score line. Pull the ring upwards and backwards to tear the entire circular panel off the can. Discard the detached metal lid responsibly.
Best Applications: Craft Beers (allows the foam head to develop) Nitro Coffee & Cold Brew Cocktails (easy to add ice) Premium Juices with Pulp Chunky Foods (Fruits, Puddings)
