This is a ready-to-drink (RTD) fruit tea filled into a 320ml aluminum beverage can with an easy-open end. As an OEM / private-label format, it lets a brand pair a chosen fruit-tea recipe with a durable, fully printable can rather than commit to a fixed product. The page covers the format itself — the can, the flavors, the customization, and how to order — so you can specify a private-label run with confidence.

The 320ml size is a deliberate middle ground. A 250ml slim can reads as a small, premium single serve; a 330ml standard can is the mainstream soft-drink size. At 320ml the can gives a fuller serve than a slim format while staying lighter and more refined than a 330ml — a combination that suits premium RTD tea aimed at younger, urban shoppers, which is exactly where fruit tea sells best.

Sourcing, recipe development, can printing, filling and export are handled within one facility, so the specification stays consistent from approved sample through to the shipped container, and the supply chain stays short.

Why aluminum suits fruit tea

A sealed aluminum can is a near-total barrier to light, oxygen and moisture — the three things that fade tea color and flatten fruit aroma over time. Light degrades the delicate compounds that give tea its clarity and freshness; oxygen oxidizes both the tea and the fruit notes. Because the can blocks all three, the flavor a customer tastes months later is much closer to the day it was filled than it would be in a clear bottle. That barrier is the single biggest technical reason premium RTD teas move to cans.

The can and the easy-open end

The body is drawn from food-grade aluminum with a food-safe internal lining that keeps the beverage from contacting bare metal. The top is closed with an easy-open end (the stay-on-tab lid familiar from soft drinks) and joined to the body with a double seam — two interlocked folds of metal that form a hermetic, pressure-stable seal. This construction is what allows the can to run on high-speed automated filling and seaming lines and to survive stacking, transport and chilling without leaking. For buyers who also need the components, ZhenXi produces the cans and the 202 SOT can ends in-house.

Full-wrap CMYK printing

The smooth cylindrical surface is printed full-wrap in CMYK, with a glossy or matte finish. Because the artwork is printed directly onto the can rather than applied as a label, there is no edge to peel or scuff, and the color stays consistent through transport and cold storage. The practical implication for a brand is a clean, high-impact shelf face with no wrinkling — which is why the format is favored for premium, design-led RTD lines.

Choosing the size and serve

Pick the can size against your shelf price and market norm, not by instinct. 250ml slim suits a higher per-ml price and a "premium small" feel; 330ml is the mainstream value size; 320ml is the premium middle that gives a satisfying serve while keeping a refined look. If you are entering a market that already drinks a particular size, match it first and differentiate on flavor and design rather than fighting an unfamiliar format.

Set sugar and claims by destination

Sugar is the biggest formulation lever and is increasingly regulated. Several markets apply sugar taxes or front-of-pack warnings above a threshold, so a recipe that sells well in one region can be penalized in another. Decide sweetness per destination, and confirm that any on-pack claim — including the dairy or allergen status of the fermented-style profile — matches what the recipe and documentation can support before artwork is approved.
