Ring pull can ends are made through a multi-step process: 1. Aluminum or steel sheet is stamped to form thousands of ends per minute and the edges are curled. 2. A precise bead of sealant is applied to the inside of the curled edges on the ends. 3. The ends undergo inspection to ensure they are perfect before tabs are joined to complete the ring pull can end.

1. Pre-coated aluminium or steel strip arrives at the


can manufacturing plant in large coils or sheets.

2. The sheet is fed through a press which stamps


out thousands of ends every minute.

3. At the same stage the edges are curled.

4. The newly formed ends are passed through a


lining machine which applies a very precise bead
of compound sealant around the inside of the curl.

5. A video inspection system checks the ends


to ensure they are perfect.

6. The TAB. The pull tabs are made from a narrow


coil of aluminium or steel. The strip is first pierced
and cut. Then the tab is formed
in two further stages before
being joined to the can end.

7. The ends pass through a series of dies which score


them and attach the tabs, which are fed in from a
separate source.

8. The final product is the ring pull end.

Food can end


(full aperture)

Drinks can end


(small aperture)

9. The finished ends, ready for capping the filled cans,


are packaged in paper sleeves and palletised before
despatch to the filling plant.
