a. We provide design templates for each can size to ensure perfect alignment. Files should be in high-resolution PDF, AI, or EPS formats with CMYK color settings.

a. Yes! Our digital process allows for variable printing, so you can create unique designs, personalized cans, and even different barcodes within the same order.
