Explore our high-performance PET cans and specialized cup systems designed for microbreweries and beverage brands.
Why modern craft breweries are adopting transparent PET bottle cans over traditional aluminum and glass.
Craft beer is an aesthetic experience. From hazy New England IPAs and rich stouts to vibrant fruit sours, crystal-clear PET bottle cans display the true color, clarity, and carbonation of your brew directly to the consumer, drastically boosting point-of-sale impulse purchases.
Unlike fragile glass bottles, PET bottle cans are virtually unbreakable. This makes them the ultimate packaging choice for outdoor festivals, venue events, pool bars, beachside distribution, and taproom takeout growler replacements.
Equipped with state-of-the-art gas barrier technology and easy-open aluminum pop-top lids, modern PET cans protect sensitive hop aromatics from oxidation and maintain target volumes of dissolved CO2 over extended distribution cycles.
Established in 2021, Shanghai COPAK Industry Co., Ltd. maintains a sales office in Shanghai and an associated factory in Guangdong Province. As a professional supplier of eco-friendly food and beverage packaging solutions, our product portfolio includes PET cups, PET cans, and sealing machines, among other related items.
Committed to staying ahead of market trends through continuous innovation, COPAK delivers high-quality yet cost-effective packaging solutions. Our product range covers PET cups and cans in diverse shapes and capacities—from 1oz to 32oz—available in both plain finishes and custom printed designs. As a long-term strategic partner and trusted supplier, we dedicate ourselves to designing and manufacturing reliable, premium-quality, and stylish PET cups and cans for our clients.
How PET Cans are Transforming Taprooms, Direct-to-Consumer Sales, and Distribution Logistics.
Traditional 64oz growlers suffer from fast oxidation, rapid carbonation loss once opened, high shipping weight, and costly washing requirements. High-clarity PET cans with pop-top pop lids enable taprooms to seal fresh draft beer on-demand into single-serve (12oz, 16oz, 32oz) crowler containers, giving consumers fresh draft taste at home with maximum shelf freshness.
With craft beer subscriptions and direct shipping exploding globally, shipping heavy glass bottles incurs excessive freight costs and risk of breakage. PET plastic cans weigh up to 85% less than glass bottles, dramatically reducing carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and transit damage rates for microbreweries selling online.
Aluminum cans often require massive minimum order quantities (MOQs) for custom printing. PET cans allow microbreweries to order clear base cans in modest quantities and utilize pressure-sensitive vinyl labels or full-body shrink sleeves for limited small-batch releases, experimental series, and seasonal craft brews.
Our optimized facility and advanced equipment are governed by stringent quality control, ensuring efficient, high-standard production.

Our factory is situated in a well-connected industrial zone, enabling efficient distribution via convenient transportation networks. The spacious and well-organized facility features dedicated areas for raw material storage, production lines, quality control, packaging, and logistics operations.

We are equipped with state-of-the-art blow molding machines specifically engineered for PET cup and PET can production, enabling high-speed manufacturing without compromising precision or quality. Additionally, our factory houses injection molding machines for preform production, as well as advanced printing equipment to support custom branding needs.

Our dedicated quality control department is equipped with specialized testing equipment to ensure all PET cups and PET cans adhere to stringent quality standards. Key inspection items include wall thickness uniformity, dimensional accuracy, visual defect screening, and material integrity verification.
How PET bottle cans evaluate against traditional aluminum and glass packaging for craft beer microbreweries.
| Performance Metrics | COPAK Clear PET Can | Standard Aluminum Can | Amber Glass Bottle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Visibility | 100% Crystal Clear Transparency | Opaque (No Visibility) | Semi-Transparent (Amber Tint) |
| Shatter Safety | 100% Shatterproof & Durable | Denterable / Non-Shatter | High Fragility & Risk |
| Freight Weight Impact | Ultra Light (~28g per 500ml) | Very Light (~15g per 500ml) | Heavy (~350g per 500ml) |
| Sealing Mechanism | Aluminum Pop-Top / Easy-Open End | Aluminum Pop-Top End | Crown Cap or Swing Top |
| Custom Labeling Flexibility | High (Shrink Sleeve, Sticker, Direct Print) | Requires Massive Direct-Print Orders | Paper Label / Screen Print |

Unlocking new retail channels and boosting customer engagement with versatile PET beer can packaging.
Microbreweries can install compact tabletop can seamers right on the bar counter. Bartenders fill clear PET cans directly from draft taps, purge with CO2, and seam an aluminum pop-top lid within seconds. Customers take home brewery-fresh draft beer with full visual clarity of the haze, foam head, and color.
Outdoor music festivals, sports arenas, and public venues strictly ban glass packaging for safety reasons. PET bottle cans comply fully with venue zero-glass regulations while offering a premium look and feel superior to standard plastic cups.
PET cans are not limited to traditional craft beer. Microbreweries expanding into nitro cold brews, hard seltzers, kombucha, and craft sodas utilize PET plastic cans to showcase light hues, clarity, and active effervescence to beverage enthusiasts.
When launching limited experimental batches (e.g., barrel-aged imperial stouts or seasonal fruit sours), high packaging minimums can stall production. Clear PET cans provide microbreweries the speed-to-market needed to package and release 500 to 2,000 units effortlessly.
COPAK is committed to sustainable development and has implemented targeted initiatives to minimize energy consumption, reduce waste generation, and promote material recycling. These include the adoption of energy-efficient production processes, robust waste management systems, and the integration of recycled PET (rPET) materials into our cup and can manufacturing.
