Direct Can Printing
No Label. No Sleeve. No Waste.
Say goodbye to labels and leave the shrink sleeves behind — Onpack’s direct-to-can digital printing offers a sleek, modern alternative that delivers bold shelf presence with a lighter environmental footprint. Using advanced digital inkjet technology, we print directly onto aluminium cans, removing the need for plastic sleeves or paper labels, and eliminating setup costs like printing plates. This makes it the perfect solution for small-batch runs, product launches, and limited editions where flexibility, speed, and visual impact matter most.
With low minimum order quantities and full-colour, high-resolution graphics wrapped seamlessly around the can, your brand stands out in every way. It’s not just smart packaging — it’s sustainable innovation. Ideal for craft beverages, RTDs, and premium product lines, direct can printing combines vibrant design potential with reduced waste and a simplified supply chain.
At Onpack, we make it easy to turn your cans into powerful, plastic-free branding tools.
