55mm 500ml Aluminum Beverage Can with 202# Easy-Open Lid for Large-Format RTD Drinks
The 500ml aluminum beverage can with 202# easy-open lid is the large-capacity option in this selected can range, developed for beverage programs that require substantially more volume per unit than standard 250ml or 330ml formats. Its half-liter capacity gives buyers a dedicated package for larger single servings, extended-consumption occasions and high-volume RTD product lines.
Measuring 66mm in diameter and 168mm in height, this can uses a tall body to accommodate the larger 500ml capacity while increasing the diameter only slightly compared with the selected 330ml version. The 330ml can measures 65 × 115mm, while this 500ml format reaches 66 × 168mm. In practical product-range terms, the additional capacity is therefore expressed primarily through a significantly taller profile rather than a dramatically wider body.
For RTD brand managers, distributors and private-label buyers, this makes the 500ml format useful when a regular 330ml serving does not provide enough volume for the intended product position. Together with the 55mm mouth and 202# easy-open lid, it creates a clearly differentiated large-format SKU that can sit above smaller cans within the same beverage portfolio.
Key Features
- Full 500ml Beverage Capacity - Provides twice the volume of the selected 250ml can and 170ml more than the 330ml format, establishing a clear large-size tier within the range.
- Tall Ø66 × 168mm Structure - At 168mm high and 66mm in diameter, the can uses a distinctly taller profile to accommodate its larger serving volume, creating strong physical separation from shorter 250ml and 330ml cans.
- Real Difference from the 330ml Format - The selected 330ml can measures Ø 65 × 115mm, while this 500ml version measures Ø 66 × 168mm. The diameter increases by only 1mm, whereas the height increases by 53mm.
- 202# Easy-Open Lid - Maintains the pull-tab opening format across the selected aluminum can range.
- 13.5g Can Specification - Gives procurement teams a confirmed physical specification for the largest of the three selected capacities.
