How to Choose a LiVAR PET Can Size: 100 ml to 500 ml Guide
Compare the current LiVAR PET CAN range from 100 ml to 500 ml by capacity, weight and carton quantity, then select the compatible #202 closure and sealing machine.
Choosing a PET CAN should start with the required usable format and presentation, not only the largest stated capacity. The current LiVAR UAE range contains nine PET CAN models from 100 ml to 500 ml, all within the 55 mm / #202 system.
Current LiVAR PET CAN size range
| Model | Capacity | Height | Weight | Carton |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny | 100 ml | 60 mm | 19 g | 540 pcs |
| Mini | 200 ml | 96 mm | 19 g | 324 pcs |
| Scoop | 210 ml | 60 mm | 19 g | 196 pcs |
| Handy | 250 ml | 92 mm | 30 g | 250 pcs |
| Classic | 355 ml | Confirm on product page | 30 g | 200 pcs |
| Fresh | 360 ml | 155 mm | 30 g | 162 pcs |
| Mango | 500 ml | 167 mm | 30 g | 144 pcs |
| Milk | 500 ml | 165 mm | 30 g | 140 pcs |
| Urban | 500 ml | 167 mm | 30 g | 150 pcs |
Why can two 500 ml cans have different carton quantities?
Capacity does not fully define a container. Shape, profile and packing geometry can change the number of bottles that fit in a carton. The LiVAR Mango, Milk and Urban products are all listed at 500 ml but have different carton quantities. For freight planning, use the carton data of the exact SKU rather than a generic 500 ml assumption.
Should I choose the smallest container that fits the product?
Not automatically. A practical selection also considers product presentation, opening size, filling process, label or print area, handling, carton efficiency and the desired amount of headspace. LiVAR does not publish one universal fill rule for every application, so the intended product should be tested with the chosen container.
Does changing PET CAN size require a different lid system?
Within the current LiVAR PET CAN family, the products listed above use the 55 mm / #202 neck and are compatible with the corresponding EPE or SOT closure options. The exact lid should still be selected for the intended application.
A buyer checklist
- Required nominal capacity and target presentation.
- Exact product dimensions and bottle weight.
- Units per carton and logistics requirements.
- Intended fill and required lid format.
- Sample requirement before bulk ordering.
- Mini Can Sealing Machine voltage and destination.
- Any regulatory, testing or certificate requirement for the exact product.
