When it comes to beverage packaging, most producers spend the bulk of their time obsessing over recipes, branding, or marketing campaigns. While those elements are undoubtedly important, there’s another part of the process that often gets overlooked—can seaming.

Over the past decade, coffee culture has evolved far beyond the traditional espresso or cappuccino. Today, cold-brew and nitro coffee have become staples in cafés across Europe and beyond. Their smooth taste, natural sweetness, and refreshing quality make them a hit with customers year-round, but especially in warmer months.

For many beverage entrepreneurs, canning feels like the natural next step in growth. Whether you’re running a coffee shop looking to sell nitro cold brew, a microbrewery ready to expand distribution, or a kombucha startup wanting to reach new markets, canning offers a way to get your drinks into the hands of more customers.

Today’s sustainability-conscious marketplace chooses the right packaging that can elevate your brand, streamline operations, and appeal directly to environmentally minded consumers. Cans—especially aluminum and steel—have emerged as one of the most versatile, sustainable, and efficient packaging formats.
