While core branding and product information lives on the body of the container, beverage can ends play a critical, and often overlooked, role in consumer engagement. Numerous technology advancements have been made in beverage ends in recent years, allowing brand owners to make their canned products more convenient, easy to use and enjoyable.

Unique Geometry
Increases panel strength, preserving package integrity

Reimagining traditional ends, Crown's SuperEnd® beverage ends feature a unique countersink wall angle and reinforcing bead, significantly reducing material use and unnecessary waste without compromising on performance.

These features make SuperEnd® beverage ends both trim and tough—and made the ends a game-changer after decades of little advancement in beverage end technology. Nearly 700 billion ends later, the innovation reduced aluminum usage by over 177,000 metric tons and coatings by over 3,000 metric tons.

The ends have also saved close to 1.4 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions—the equivalent of nearly 300,000 passenger vehicles driven for one year or more than 1.5 billion pounds of coal burned—and will continue to yield higher savings following more recent lightweighting of the end.
