Study on the size of canned food (1)
What do 7106 7113 884 mean?
In the canned food trade, you have to confirm the can type with the customer or the factory.
For example, the factory’s quotation is based on 7106 can type so the price will be added USD0.50 if you change to 884.
So what do 7106 and 884 mean, how many common can types are there? Combined with my working experience, let’s talk about the can size.
Firstly Let me introduce the round cans
According to the circular diameter of the can, they are grouped into 5 6 7 8 9 10 15.
The following is the code and inner diameter size:
5 ID 52.3 6 ID 65.3 7 ID 72.9 8 ID 83 9 ID 98.9 10 ID 105.1 15 ID 153.4
So, what we call 7106 is a can with the diameter of 7 and height of 106, and 884 is a can with the diameter of 8 and the height of 84.
The can types currently available are as follows:
| CANNED SIZE | Diameter | HIGH(mm） | WEIGHT |
|---|---|---|---|
748# |
73 | 48 | 142G/130G |

153 | 234 | 5kg juice |

Each region has its own commonly used can type. Taking the common 400g as an example, Russia prefer 884#, parts of Middle East and the US prefer 7106# while Iraq prefer 962#.
The size 10# for round can is rare. I bought the samples on line, but factories have not even heard of this size.
