Clear soda can with pop top lid

In the food and beverage industry, safety is non-negotiable. When brands consider switching from glass or aluminum to plastic, the first question is often: "Is it safe for my product and my customers?"
At COPAK, we understand that trust is built on facts. Here is everything you need to know about the safety profile of our PET cans.

1. What Does "Food Grade" Actually Mean?

Not all plastics are created equal. Our cans are manufactured using 100% Virgin PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) resin. "Virgin" means the plastic has not been previously used or recycled, ensuring maximum purity. This material is rigorously tested to meet international standards, including:
FDA Compliance (USA): Meets the requirements for food contact substances.
Regulation No 10/2011: Complies with strict European standards for plastic materials intended to come into contact with food.

2. The BPA-Free Guarantee

A common misconception is that all plastics contain BPA (Bisphenol A). This is false. BPA is typically found in Polycarbonate (PC) plastics, not PET. Our PET cans are naturally BPA-Free and Phthalate-Free. This means no harmful chemicals will leach into your beverage, even under varying storage conditions. You can confidently label your product as "BPA-Free," a critical selling point for health-conscious consumers today.

3. Chemical Stability (No Flavor Transfer)

Have you ever drunk water from a cheap plastic bottle and tasted "plastic"? That happens with low-quality materials. High-quality PET is biologically inert and chemically stable.
Acid Resistance: It is resistant to acidic beverages like sodas, fruit juices, and kombucha.
No Corrosion: Unlike aluminum, which requires an internal epoxy liner to prevent corrosion (which can sometimes fail), PET naturally does not rust or react with ingredients. This ensures the pure taste of your drink is preserved exactly as you intended.

4. Micro-Biological Safety

Our manufacturing process involves high-heat injection molding (over 250°C), which effectively sterilizes the preforms. Furthermore, our cans are produced in a controlled, hygienic environment to prevent contamination before they are packed and shipped to you.
PET is one of the most thoroughly tested materials in the world. By choosing our certified food-grade PET cans, you aren't just getting a durable container; you are getting a packaging solution that puts consumer health and product integrity first.
