Product Overview
250ml Slim Aluminum Cans for Beverage Brands
The 250ml slim aluminum can is a narrow-format package designed for compact beverage portions and a distinctive vertical shelf profile. The published configuration uses a 53.4mm body diameter and a reference height of 134mm.
Printed and unprinted formats are available for qualified bulk orders. Custom projects can cover artwork review, color coordination, selected surface effects, can-end matching and export packing.
Compatibility first: final can dimensions, end selection, internal coating, filling pressure and heat-processing conditions must be reviewed before production. Nominal capacity alone does not determine filling-line compatibility.
Features & Procurement Benefits
Designed Around Branding, Compatibility and Bulk Supply
Custom Printed Branding
Brand artwork can be reviewed for direct printing, subject to color separation, legal-copy layout and production feasibility.
Selected Finish Options
Published effects include glossy, matte, tactile and fluorescent options. Final availability depends on artwork and process review.
Beverage Project Review
Projects can be assessed for compatible carbonated and non-carbonated beverage applications using the supplied formula and process conditions.
Can-and-End Coordination
The applicable easy-open end and opening type are checked against the final can drawing and filling-line requirements.
Export Pallet Planning
Empty cans can be prepared on protected pallets for container shipment under an approved packing and loading plan.

Engineering Compatibility
Confirm the Can, End and Filling Line as One System
The published reference identifies a 202/503 can code, 53.4mm body diameter, 134mm height and 200 Dia easy-open-end configuration. These values must be checked against the latest drawings.
- Can height and body diameter
- Neck and flange geometry
- End curl and compound
- Opening type and tab
- Filler and seamer setup
- Seam acceptance criteria
Do not select an end by capacity alone. End diameter, curl, compound and seaming compatibility require technical confirmation.
Applications
Beverage Applications for 250ml Slim Cans
Application examples are not blanket compatibility claims. Formula, carbonation, filling pressure, thermal process and coating requirements must be reviewed.
Energy & Functional Drinks
Compact portions and a narrow vertical design support energy, vitamin and electrolyte beverage concepts.
Soda & Sparkling Water
Provide carbonation level, filling pressure and pasteurization conditions so the can, coating and end system can be reviewed.
Juice, Coffee & Tea
Acidity, ingredients, oxygen sensitivity and thermal processing influence coating and package selection.
OEM Decoration
Custom Printing for 250ml Slim Beverage Cans
Artwork is reviewed for color separation, print registration, minimum text size, barcode placement, curved-surface distortion and the selected surface effect.
- Fewer than eight printing colors under the published specification
- Glossy, matte, tactile and fluorescent effects subject to feasibility
- Logo, product information and destination-market label copy
- Artwork and color proof approval before mass production
Artwork Files to Prepare
Submit editable vector artwork, Pantone or approved color references, barcode requirements, mandatory label copy, finish selection and destination-market labeling requirements.
