## FAQ
### What is the minimum order quantity for custom printed aluminum cans?
The MOQ for custom printed cans is one 40-ft high-cube container (about 200,000 standard 330 ml cans). Several designs can share one container. Blank cans and can ends are available in smaller quantities.

### Which can sizes do you manufacture?
We manufacture two-piece aluminum cans from 185 ml to 1 L: slim 185–250 ml, standard 250–355 ml, sleek 250–355 ml and tall 473 ml–1 L, with matching 200#, 202# and 209# easy-open ends.

### How long does production take?
Printed cans typically ship 4–7 weeks after artwork approval. Blank cans and standard ends can often ship within 1–2 weeks, subject to stock.

### Do you supply can ends and carriers with the cans?
Yes. We supply SOT/RPT beverage ends, 360 full-aperture ends, peel-off ends and plastic 4/6-pack carriers, and can load cans, ends and carriers in one container.

### Are your can linings BPA-free?
We offer BPA-NI (bisphenol-A non-intent) internal coatings as well as conventional epoxy. We recommend the lining after reviewing your beverage’s pH, alcohol content and process.

### Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. Blank cans and ends are available as free samples (freight collect), and digitally printed sample cans can be produced for photography and filling trials.
