Press-in Lid Cans Market Adopts Innovation to Stay Competitive, 2018 – 2026

Press-in lid cans are one of the simplest design among various metal cans. Strong and effective sealing provided by the press-in lid cans is majorly required for the industrial chemicals packaging, whereas, food, pharmaceutical, and other industries also prefer press-in lid cans over other packaging formats due to its high durability. Press-in lid cans made up of aluminum are gradually replacing tin-plated and stainless steel press-in lid cans due to its lightweight and high barrier properties, and also driving the preference for aluminum press-in lid cans in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Three piece press-in lid cans are estimated to be higher in global press-in lid cans market share over two piece press-in lid cans owing to the ease in manufacturing. Rapidly developing demand for sustainable packaging solutions is one of the prominent drivers for the growth of press-in lid cans market across the globe.

Global Press-in Lid Cans Market Dynamics

For some of the sensitive products which might get affected by the direct contact with press-in lid can surface, a plastic liner is added to the inner surface of the can. BPA plastics are generally preferred as a press-in lid can liner material, while acrylic & polyester liners are gradually replacing the BPA liners. For relatively large volume packaging in the food industry, aluminum press-in lid cans are highly preferred due to its high durability, high barrier properties, and air-tight sealing.


On the contrary perspective of strong sealing lids of press-in lid cans, the opening of the can each time is a tedious task. For the opening of industrial chemical press-in lid cans, some tool is required to open the can. Thus, the metal cans with assisted opening mechanism are gradually replacing the press-in lid cans market. Metal cans with a small opening and screw closure are highly preferred over press-in lid cans for packaging of liquid products due to the ease in pouring the liquid with a small opening and much lesser efforts made in opening a screw closure as compared to press-in lid cans.

Sealer sticks Market Is Set For A Rapid Growth By 2026

The global consumption of packaged food is rising at an attractive pace, with snack food items packed in flow packs as a prominent segment and growth contributor. The party packs or relatively large bags of food products are highly preferred due to its economy over small pack sizes but also result in food leftovers for most of the times. As flow packs are not reclosable packaging format, the food cannot be preserved for later use in the same pouch, or else the consumer needs to transfer the food content into some airtight rigid container.


Sealer sticks resolve this issue with the handling of food packed in non-reclosable bags and pouches by providing an airtight seal to any type or any size of bags and pouches. Increasing demand for flexible packaging and rising food packaging industry have attributed to the growth of sealer sticks market across the globe.

Increasing preference for unit dose packaging among consumers to restrain the global sealer sticks market

The sealer sticks market performance is majorly dependent on the preference for the large pack sizes by the consumers. On the contrary side, the consumers have found unit dose packaging as a highly convenient packaging solution which need not be carried for multiple usages. This has restrained the market for sealer sticks globally. Although, the consumption of food products packaged in bags and pouches is significantly high, while the adoption of sealer sticks is majorly limited to developed economies. Thus, the sealer sticks market has a large scope of expansion in the developing countries.

Moreover, the manufacturing of sealer sticks is relatively easy such that even small plastic processing companies are capable of producing sealer sticks with strong efficacy. As the design and production of sealer sticks are relatively easier, even small plastic processing firms are capable of introducing innovative designs. Initially, the clip type sealer sticks were introduced to the consumers, while now the grip stick type sealer sticks are gaining high traction on the backdrop of low cost and lightweight. The Gripstic, a U.K. based plastic processing company, is specially engaged in the production of grip stick type sealer sticks.
