What if Beverage Cans Were Cubes Instead of Cylindrical?

In the simplest way, you can place a cube-shaped box on the refrigerator shelf from a cylindrical box. much more regularly You may think that you can place it and it will take up little space. But that’s not the case.

Why tin cans are made in cylindrical shape “Take this information and do whatever you do with it.” If you are ready to learn the reasons, let’s get started.

First, let’s watch how cylindrical boxes are made:

Cylindrical bottles generally have better pressure resistance.

We can also explain it this way; The cylindrical form ensures that the internal pressure is distributed evenly throughout the bottle. Moreover better structural strength than cubes or other geometric shapes owner. Let’s explain what we mean when we say strength with an example:

Strength, which expresses how durable a material is under load or force, external forces acting on it, It refers to resistance to stresses or distortions. For example, the strength of a bottle is its ability to withstand the forces caused by the pressure inside it.

If the boxes were perfectly round best distribution could be achieved But you can guess that using them wouldn’t be very functional either. It would roll over or be difficult to drink.

Production and distribution are easier in cylindrical bottles.

When we think of it as storage, cubic bottles may seem more logical, but this is not exactly the case. cylindrical bottles, It can be stacked better than cube ones during storage and transportation. However, yes, cubic bottles can be more advantageous in terms of storage when we consider our shelves.

In addition; A bottle production line can reach up to 60,000-80,000 bottles per hour. Round-mouth cylindrical bottles only placement on the fill valve While this is sufficient, cubic bottles may need to be positioned individually. Cardboard and square packaging often contain a flexible bag or “inner liner”. While this does not make filling the liquid difficult, it may require the packaging to be in a more specific position.

Besides Aluminum-shaped cylindrical bottles that are not even 1 centimeter thick, Due to their shape, they are not easily damaged, they mostly slide towards each other. However, such a thin cube-shaped bottle is much more likely to be crushed while moving or being transported on the production line.

Cylindrical bottles have an anti-corrosion layer.

To prevent soft drink or beer bottles from rusting due to aluminum, they should be placed in their cans. There is an inner layer of protection. This layer can be damaged at the corners during the stamping stage. You wouldn’t want to drink a rusty beer, would you? (The Heineken above is a glass bottle, thankfully.)

User experiences cannot be ignored either.

Visualized with artificial intelligence.

Cylindrical bottles allow better distribution of the gas in the beverages and better mixing of the beverage, as well as being more durable compared to cubic shapes. It can be grasped more easily in the hand.

Besides Trying to drink from a sharp-edged can like a cube It would be quite difficult. Cylinder boxes are compatible with our mouth at this point too.
