Canning is a powerful way to preserve beverages and food — from craft drinks and cold brew to sauces and soups — but even small mistakes can cost you time, product quality, and money. Whether you’re just getting started or moving from DIY setups to a professional manual line with Eazy Canning’s FENIX filler and iKAN seamer, knowing what to avoid — and how to fix issues — keeps your process running smoothly and your products tasting great.

The canning industry has undergone tremendous change over the past decade. What began as simple, manual methods has evolved into a spectrum of technologies — from semi-automatic fill heads to sophisticated automated lines with connected sensors and data analytics. Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, several key trends are emerging that will define how producers package beverages, food, and ready-to-eat goods.

Canning may seem simple at a glance — fill the can, close the lid, and you’re done. But behind every high-quality canned beverage or food product is a carefully engineered process that ensures consistency, freshness, safety, and shelf stability. At the heart of this process are two critical technologies: filling mechanisms and seaming systems.

Whether you’re preserving homegrown produce, launching a cottage-industry food line, or bottling artisanal beverages for market, choosing the right packaging and equipment is essential. Eazy Canning makes this easy with a versatile system that supports a wide range of product types — all sealed professionally and safely for long-term storage and sale.

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s a defining force reshaping how beverages are packaged, marketed, and consumed. With consumers, regulators, and industry leaders pushing for greener options, eco-friendly packaging has become one of the most important trends in the beverage industry today.

Cold brew coffee has moved far beyond a menu add-on. For many cafés, it’s one of the highest-margin products they sell. Canning your cold brew allows you to extend shelf life, create new revenue streams, and sell your product far beyond the counter — all without opening a second location.
