Cans Vs Bottles
So this is not really a contest or a comparison as it is much as it is about choosing the right tools for the job. If any beverage container is filled by hand or even with an automated machine. At the end of the day the product must be presentable to the customer, maintain its quality and also be profitable for the producer.
So let's look at what makes the two most popular beverage containers stand apart and the tools that make this happen.
Bottles often tell a story of their contents at first site as they communicate a message to those browsing shelves at local bottle shops. They offer an elegance with fragility and strength tested through time. The container of choice when looking to create the most value per ounce for any beverage type. They are easier to fill by hand or by machine and require less expensive equipment and less technical expertise to enter the market place.
This is a stark comparison to their utilitarian brethren the Can with their go anywhere anytime reputation. Cans offer a greater level of popularity and flexibility to where it is permitted over bottles. However Cans require an increased level of mechanical equipment and know how to produce. While Cans have the ability to present the product with good quality assurance. Their retail appearance can be less discernible and value perception for specialty products can fall short when compared to bottles. But on the other hand Cans are packaged at faster rates and take less space for storage.
