    Can Graphics
    BAPL's dry, offset-printing process can print up to six colors at most plants.

    Advanced graphics capability for cans include:
  •  
  • Wet-on-wet process where one ink is applied wet over another ink, resulting in another color and enabling a can to hold several colors while utilizing only four to six printing plates
  •  
  • Fluorescent inks that glow when “black light” or UV light hits the can
  •  
  • Exceptional screening techniques
  •  
  • Retort capable up to 127°C

    If the can design requires, cans can be basecoated with a base color for further printing. Basecoating can help make the can’s graphics stand out.
    Fluted and Embossed Cans
    BAPL has the ability to make cans extraordinary. Fluted or embossed cans result in a tactile experience which can make your product more impressive. Your embossed image on the beverage can increases the purchase incentive. The unusual appearance of attractive, impressive designs differentiates
    your product from those of your competitors. A decisive advantage in respect of point of sale. 

    Ends
    BAPL currently manufactures ends of 206 diameter with a number of varieties:

    Ring Pull

    Stay On Tab



    Ring pull and stay on tabs provide for easy access to the can’s contents anywhere, anytime contributing to the overall convenience of the can. With a ring pull end, the tab is pulled off of the can to provide an opening for drinking, pouring, or serving. With the stay on tab, the tab stays on the can after opening, which provides additional benefits for recycling purposes.

    Large Opening



    A beverage is even more enjoyable straight from the can with a 35% larger opening. Can ends with large openings are popular with customers when a rapid thirst quencher is needed. Cans with large opening ends are quicker and easier to drink with no spillage. The shape of the large opening, can be tailored to fit your consumer's needs.
    Printed



    End graphics can provide you with an opportunity to establish the connection between your Brand and the advertising message.  End printing is the ideal way to engage consumers with temporary or seasonal slogans to enhance the effectiveness of the can or to comply with statutory regulations. Just before opening, with the first taste and right up to the moment the can is put down, your brand identity revives along with the product and remains fresh in the mind. Printing can be done in black ink on silver or gold-colored ends and is absolutely safe for consumers.
    Colored Ends & Tabs



    Things are getting colorful - the days of grey-in-grey are numbered.  Whether black, white or varying tones of red or blue, the rich range of colors ensures eye-catching differentiation at the point of sale.  A colored tab can add to your can’s "cool" design and can guarantee that your brand identity is presented unmistakably, down to the very last detail. Coloring can be applied to all types of ends.
