Wholesale Aluminum Can Lid #206 SOT B64 | Custom Aluminum Can Lid Factory
The #206 SOT B64 aluminum can lid represents a highly secure, high-pressure retaining closure system trusted by international breweries and carbonated beverage packaging facilities. Featuring the universally recognized Stay-on-Tab (SOT) mechanism, this end ensures the tab remains permanently attached to the shell post-opening, preventing environmental littering and eliminating choking hazards.
Specifically engineered with the specialized B64 profile, our #206 diameter lids offer exceptional double-seam performance, optimal pour dynamics, and unmatched structural rigidity. As a specialized manufacturing partner, we deliver high-capacity wholesale aluminum can lid configurations that integrate seamlessly with high-speed automated seaming chucks.
I. Technical Specifications & Metallurgical Engineering
To satisfy the strict pressure and seal requirements of carbonated soft drinks, pasteurized beers, and nitrogen-infused liquids, our #206 ends are fabricated to precise dimensional tolerances.
-
Premium Material Substrate: Manufactured from high-tensile Aluminum Alloy 5182, providing the ideal physical properties for reliable score-line tearing and consistent rivet formation.
-
The B64 Profile Standard: Engineered with an industry-standard outside curl diameter of 64.82 ± 0.25mm, ensuring a robust mechanical lock with standard 2-piece aluminum or PET beverage can bodies.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Finished with a professional-grade Epoxy internal and external lacquer to insulate the raw aluminum against acidic contents and safeguard beverage flavor purity.
-
Universal Compatibility: Specially designed for wide-mouth standard and large-format beverage containers, expanding upon our comprehensive sizing matrix which includes #200 (Slim), #202 (Sleek/Super Sleek/Standard), #206, and #209 (King Can) variants.
II. Comprehensive Custom Aluminum Can Lid Branding Options
We transform standard functional closures into active marketing real estate, providing extensive customization across both the shell and the tab mechanisms.
-
Vibrant Color Coating: The shell body, the pull tab, or both can be color-anodized in standard Golden, Black, Blue, or tailored to proprietary Pantone brand colors.
-
High-Fidelity Tab & Shell Printing: We support high-resolution printing of custom patterns, messaging, alphanumeric tracking codes, and promotional QR codes directly onto the tab or shell surface.
-
Structural Material Manipulation: Elevate shelf appeal or provide regulatory text via precise laser carving, etching, or mechanical embossing raised directly on the metal shell.
III. Logistic Metrics & Packaging Density
Our export shipping protocols are optimized to prevent edge deformation, block environmental humidity, and minimize the total landed cost per unit for global distribution.
-
Sleeve Configuration: 500 pieces per compressed protective sleeve.
-
Pallet Configuration Layering: 17 sleeves per layer across 18 structured layers.
-
Total High-Density Unit Load: 153,000 pieces per exporting pallet, stabilized via heavy-duty top boards and wrapped securely in high-tension industrial shrink film.
-
Application Scope: Optimized for seamless seaming onto both 2-piece aluminum alloys and rigid transparent PET beverage cans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the technical advantage of the B64 type profile on a #206 lid?
The B64 type designation refers to a specific contour design of the lid's countersink and curl radius. This specific structural geometry optimizes the metal's performance under internal pressure (from carbonation or nitrogen) and ensures precise metal-to-metal interlocking during the double-seaming process with the can body.
2. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for a custom aluminum can lid order?
For standard silver, unprinted #206 B64 ends, we maintain flexible industrial entry points based on our current production runs. For full custom aluminum can lid executions—including colored shells, laser-etched tabs, or embossed lettering—the MOQ is determined by setup requirements. Please contact our technical sales team with your graphic drawings for an exact breakdown.
3. Are these #206 SOT lids compatible with PET plastic beverage cans?
Yes. Our #206 B64 ends are universally engineered to seal perfectly on both traditional 2-piece aluminum beverage cans and rigid PET plastic cans, provided the container's neck profile is specifically tool-calibrated for a 206-diameter top closure.
4. Can we request custom promotional printing like QR codes on the pull tabs?
Absolutely. We provide advanced surface handling capabilities that allow for high-resolution printing of unique QR codes, text, or logos on both the shell and the tab. This is widely used by craft beverage brands for digital marketing campaigns, batch tracking, or consumer engagement.
5. How do you ensure the lids do not deform or corrode during ocean freight?
Every bulk wholesale aluminum can lid shipment is packed inside protective moisture-barrier sleeves, arrayed evenly across 18 layers per pallet, and locked down using industrial-grade strapping and heavy top-caps. The entire pallet is then completely sealed in multi-layer shrink film to protect the outer curl geometry and prevent salt-air or moisture exposure during long-distance maritime transit.
