Composite cans
Our versatile
At OecoPac, the combination can is a cardboard can made from a combination of materials, tailored to the specific application and the necessary product protection. It is used in situations where a standard all-cardboard can is insufficient and a barrier or protective function is required. The membrane can is a higher-quality, advanced version of the combination can: It offers comparable product protection and, in addition, a tamper-evident closure, which is particularly relevant for retail and sensitive food applications.

Spices & Seasonings
For free-flowing spices, salt blends, and dried herbs, the combination can is a particularly popular round container because it combines function and form in one. Available in resealable versions with a shaker insert, pour-top lid, flip-top closure, or cardboard twist-top shaker closure, the container functions directly as a dispenser at the stove. The design is tailored to product protection: For spices with intense aromas or longer storage times, a stronger barrier may be advisable; for applications requiring a tamper-evident closure, OecoPac recommends the membrane can. Production starting from small batches of 1.
Coffee & Instant Products
For instant coffee, powdered coffee beverages, and coffee blends, the combination can may be a cost-effective packaging solution. It can be manufactured to be food-safe, custom-printed, and resealable. The specific design of the can always depends on the product’s requirements, particularly aroma protection, moisture protection, and the desired shelf life. For freshly roasted specialty coffee with high aroma protection requirements, the OecoPac membrane can is generally the better choice. OecoPac supports customers in selecting the right cardboard can—from material consultation to mass-production solutions.
Muesli & Cereals
Packaging for muesli and cereals must meet several requirements at once: It must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the contents, be food-safe, look appealing on the shelf, and provide the necessary product protection depending on the recipe. OecoPac’s combination can combines a 360-degree printable cardboard sleeve with a packaging structure tailored to the product. The round shape clearly sets it apart from the standard stand-up pouch design. If moisture protection or a longer shelf life is required, the appropriate barrier is integrated. For products that do not require a barrier, OecoPac can also evaluate all-cardboard solutions.
Dietary Supplements & Functional Foods
The market segment for dietary supplements and functional foods is growing—and with it, the demands on packaging that conveys credibility, naturalness, and product safety. The cardboard combination can is a strong alternative to plastic cans: it can be made food-safe, is fully printable, and is well-suited for strong brand communication. For products requiring enhanced moisture protection, such as powders or capsules, OecoPac recommends a customized barrier. If a tamper-evident closure is also required, the membrane can is the ideal solution. Production is possible starting with a single unit.
Promotional Items & Gift Packaging
Round tins are often not thrown away right away—that’s their key advantage as promotional packaging. What starts out as a corporate gift on a desk often remains in plain sight as a storage box. OecoPac combination tins can be printed over their entire surface and finished to a high standard, for example with hot foil stamping, cold foil stamping, embossing, raised varnish, spot varnish, UV varnish, or foil lamination. Depending on customer needs, variants with metal lids, plastic lids, or solid cardboard lids are available. Applications include corporate gifts, trade show packaging, anniversary editions, seasonal items, and POS promotions. Production starts with small runs of 1.
