One trend in packaging has been to add "shape" to aluminum beverage containers to provide brand differentiation. Shaping processes such as rheoforming, which utilizes internal water pressure to the can into a mold, and blowforming, involving air pressure in concert with axial compression, require more of the can material from a formability perspective.

OBS

A recent development by CarnaudMetalbox is a pneumatic ‘blowing’ technique to produce asymmetrically shaped cans.
