Purchase wholesale cans to package your products so you can send them to market. You can find a can for any liquid product that you sell. Whether you would prefer an aluminum can, steel cans or tin cans, you can find them offered by many different can manufacturers. In addition, remember that you can purchase lined or unlined cans depending on your needs.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find the best packaging cans for your company's products from companies who stock a wide variety


For all of your material needs, shop with distributors and manufacturers who offer a wide selection of packaging cans. Purchase cans of any shape or size that's perfect for your products.

I recommend: Browse the selection offered by Freund Container. This company carries a wide variety of metal cans, including paint cans, aluminum bottles, slip cover cans, steel cans and much more. Order cans you need from Northern Container. They stock various types of cans suitable for many products, including chemicals, paint, adhesives and food. Package Supply Company stocks a wide variety of cans to serve many different industries, from chemical to food.

Explore the advantages of tin cans for packaging purposes


Tin packaging offers some advantages over other metals. For example, tin is low weight and high strength, which makes it optimal for shipping. In addition, tin offers unsurpassed safety for chemical products.

I recommend: All-Pak offers a few different type of metal cans, including tin plate oblong cans with a screw top closure and round epoxy lined cans with a friction closure. Shop Yankee Containers for tin cans, including paint cans, slip cover cans and rectangular cans.

Choose screw top metal cans with or without daubers for adhesives and other viscous materials


Small screw top cans are perfect for products that you sell in small amounts, or that need a brush for application purposes. You can purchase these screw top cans that hold anywhere from 4 oz to 32 oz.

I recommend: If you sell adhesives, rubber cement, solvent or other viscous materials, shop with Orca for screw top utility cans. Manufacturers like Allied Can Manufacturing also carry screw top utility cans that can hold materials like adhesives, sealers, primers and more.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Consider the type of closure that you need for your product. For example, some foods need a sealed can while you can store others in slip top cans. On the other hand, paints and other chemicals need cans with a friction closure.
