Ideally we like a corridor of space 7m long and 2m wide, but chat to us about your space challenges, we can sometimes do some ‘canning line yoga’. An extra 2-3m in length will be required for our inline labeller if you’re planning on using slim line cans. In regards to parking space, our equipment fits inside an extended Mercedes Sprinter which is surprisingly small and can be parked at most sites without needing any special provision.

Here is a link to view a time-lapse of our mobile canning set up. If you would like to see more videos head over to our Instagram.

Canning machines can work with a variety of beverages, such as wine, cider, cocktails, RTD’s, seltzer, tea and coffee. We do not can beverages with live bacteria (such as Kombucha) as it is tricky to eradicate from the machine (despite cleaning) and can contaminate other beverages. There are methods that can be used for sour beers to avoid this – talk to us!

We can package any Australian classic, sleek or slim line can. In addition, we have this little diagram below to outline what cans and ends are currently available for Digital Printing.

Slim line cans will have labels applied using an inline labeller supplied on fill day.

All pallet wrap that comes from us is landfill-biodegradable. BioGone uses Landfill-Biodegradable Plastics that are made by combining traditional plastic with an organic additive. The biodegradation only begins when the plastic is exposed to a microbe rich environment such as in a landfill. The additive attracts microbes to the plastic and they start to digest it. The pallet wrap can also be recycled with other soft plastics!

We sure can! We offer an inline labelling service for slim line cans and manage the entire label ordering process – from printer relations to nationwide distribution. We have a dedicated team that can offer advice and support specific to your products. Additionally, we can offer competitive prices on small label orders.
