Tips for buying aluminum aerosol cans for the first time
Embracing Eco-Friendly Aluminium Bottles for a Greener Future
Entering the world of aluminum aerosol can buying can be an interesting but daunting thing. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned expert, choosing the right aerosol can for your product has certain complexities that can lead to costly mistakes if not handled carefully. As a supplier with 10 years of deep cultivation in the aluminum aerosol can industry, we want to tell you seven typical mistakes that even experienced buyers often ignore, so as to help you avoid these mistakes and guide your selection.
1. Material quality: Not all aluminum aerosol cans are the same
Material quality is one of the most important but underestimated factors affecting aerosol can purchasing. While aluminum’s light weight and corrosion resistance are attractive, not all aluminum cans meet the same standards. During use or transportation, inferior materials may cause leaks, dents, and even structural collapse.
So, before using aluminum bottles for the first time, be sure to understand what aluminum bottles currently used in the market are like, and when looking for qualified suppliers to communicate, always remember to confirm that the aluminum grade meets the industrial requirements defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
And be sure to ask the supplier for samples during the communication stage to evaluate the performance and service life of the can in actual conditions. Currently, many suppliers on the market support free samples.
2. Capacity and design: size is important, but function is also important.
The focus of our packaging selection is to choose the right aerosol can size and shape. Whether it is personal care products, spray paint or household cleaners, the capacity and design must meet the product requirements and user experience.
Trap: Ignore the connection between product pressure and can size. For example, a smaller can may not be able to effectively handle high-pressure products, which may cause failure or leakage.
So be sure to communicate clearly with your product development team in advance to determine the ideal can size and shape for your application or find a packaging supplier who can help with product design.
PS: Also keep in mind the ergonomic design of the terminal. Poor planning can bring a bad experience to customers and damage your brand image.
The third is branding and customization. Consistency is very important.
Your aerosol can is not just a container, but an extension of your brand. Neglecting to ensure brand consistency across the entire product line may lead to market uncertainty.
When giving your supplier artwork, be sure to pay attention to color matching, logo positioning, or labeling requirements, such as whether your printing can be done and whether it can achieve the effect you want. At present, there will be a certain color difference in packaging materials for printing all over the world. So improper label application or poor printing quality may make your goods look amateurish.
Solution: Be sure to communicate the printing situation and online color matching when placing an order with your supplier. Make sure your design matches the surface texture of the can – for example, matte instead of glossy. To make your product stand out on the shelf, consider adding value by using texture coating or embossing.
4. Supplier selection: Hidden costs of low-cost solutions
Choosing the right container is just as important as choosing the right supplier. Many first-time buyers fall into the trap of choosing the cheapest option without considering the long-term expenses.
Putting money over quality may lead to regular changes, logistics problems, or regulatory issues.
Solution: Carefully investigate suppliers. Search for certifications (such as ISO, FDA), manufacturing capabilities, and consumer reviews.
Recommendation: Build a trusting relationship with a stable supplier over time. They can provide analysis, ideas, and guarantee consistent quality.
Five: Regulatory Compliance: Getting Out of Trouble
Globally, the aerosol can industry is strictly controlled; different regions have different standards. Ignoring these rules may result in legal fines, product recalls, or reputational damage.
Environmental rules must never be ignored, and your internal materials include rules related to propellants or ozone depleting compounds (ODS), which may still bring dangers.
Solution: Stay up to date with your local and global laws. For example, the EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policy
Advice: It is best to deal with suppliers who can help you solve regulatory issues and are familiar with compliance issues.
6. Value and cost: Avoid falling into the trap of temporary savings.
Although it is a reality that we have limited budgets, focusing only on the initial cost of aerosol cans may lead to long-term inefficiencies. There is an old Chinese saying: You get what you pay for. Choosing a cheaper can without experience when placing an order for the first time is likely to cause problems. Although the price of labor varies from country to country, the production environment and quality are really important.
Solution: Consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), including factors such as customer satisfaction, durability and performance. Invest in quality cans, which will save you money and reduce the likelihood of returns or problems.
7. Environmental impact: meet consumer expectations
Today’s consumers are more eco-conscious than ever before, so ignoring sustainability can damage your company’s reputation. Aluminum is 100% recyclable, and using it can also add a selling point to your product regarding the carbon footprint or recyclability of aerosol cans
Choose environmentally responsible solutions, such as aluminum cans with reduced material thickness or
