The first Friday in October is National Manufacturing Day. Independent Can Company is proud to be a Maryland, Ohio and United States manufacturer. Our commitment to being the best printer and manufacturer of specialty metal packaging, in the world, is not driven by the desire to become larger.

Independent Can Company offers apprenticeships and training programs designed to develop the next generation of talent. We are committed to fostering a culture of pride and achievement among our younger employees, a value that has always been central to our organization. #maryland #marylandmanufacturing #manufacturingjobs #marylandmanufacturer #ohiomanufacturing #ohio #Americanjobs #Americancompanies #USManufacturing #manufacturedinUSA

Smarties have been around since 1949. Today commemorates this sweet, nostalgic candy. Years ago, Independent Can Company, produced this tin with a bank slot in the lid. After the smarties were consumed, the recipient could use the tin as a colorful coin collector. #NationalSmartiesDay #candy #confections #smarties #nostalgia #collectible #collectiblepackaging

📢 Metal recycles forever! 📢 Did you know that metal packaging is a Permanent Material? This means its inherent properties do not change with repeated recycling into new products. So this Recycle Week we’re highlighting how metal packaging sets a benchmark in recycling performance. The latest UK statistics on waste indicate: ♻️ ️Metal packaging has a recycling rate of 80.4%* (2024) ♻️ Steel packaging is the packaging material with the highest recycling rate at 86.6%* (2024). While data from Every Can Counts shows the aluminium beverage can is the most recycled beverage packaging format in the UK, with a recycling rate of 81% (2024). Plus, the aluminium beverage can is able to be recycled and be back on the shelves within just 60 days!** Because metal recycles forever, metal packaging is a natural champion of the circular economy. #RecycleWeek2025 #MetalPackaging #CircularEconomy *UK statistics on waste – gov.uk; Provisional 2024 figures National Packaging Waste Database and Reported Packaging Data ** Every Can Counts

🏭 Manufacturing Excellence: Differentiating Through Design and Innovation In today’s competitive confectionery landscape, packaging is more than protection—it’s a powerful brand differentiator. At our Belcamp, Maryland facility—the largest of our four manufacturing plants—we specialize in producing shaped cans with reflectivity that elevate product visibility and reinforce brand identity. 🎨 From Concept to Can This particular square-shaped can is engineered to hold one pound of premium confections. The process begins at ICC's lithography plant, where tinplated steel sheets are coated, printed, and precision-slit into body blanks. ⚙️ Advanced Can-Making Advantage In 2012, Independent Can Company introduced size-bead-curl technology to our shaped can production line—an innovation that significantly enhanced structural integrity and manufacturing consistency. This process includes: •            Sizing: Ensures dimensional accuracy •            Beading: Adds a reinforcing ridge to the metal for increased strength •            Curl: Forms the top edge This technology was originally introduced for large perfume gift sets for Elizabeth Arden. It has since become a cornerstone of our premium shaped packaging capabilities. #squaretins #shapetins #giftsets #perfumegiftsets #rectangulartins #branding #shelfappeal #marketing #promotionalpackaging #commemorativetins #collectibletins #recyclablepackaging #metalrecyclesforever
