History tin packing

The first beer in a tin container was released in 1930, the party in 2000 and distributed cans in a limited area for the study of consumer demand. In appearance it was the usual cans, which opens with a knife - right cylinder shape.

Innovation met well, and by January 1935 was the mass production of cans. But by September of the same year at the cylindrical cans appear formidable competitor - a bank with a cone-shaped top.




The first year or two beers in the iron banks hardly in demand because it smacked of metal. It fixes the science - chemistry, covering banks inside coated with a touch of oak. And then it began.













Calculation producers of so-called cone top cans was simple: attach the top of a cone-shaped tin resemblance to the sweet drink any fan of good old glass bottle, and was to serve as an attractive point in the selection of beer. Furthermore, "cone" - a sealing stopper convenient to handle. Hundreds of breweries switched to "butylkobanki", seeking to attract a buyer. In a short time there were as many as four of the "bottleneck." Oh, and in the design of cans - everyone tried as best I could!









However, the age of "more humane" design proved short-lived. The Second World War required the metal, a lot of metal ... The reduction occurred in all areas of non-military production, it is not spared and cone top. "Yes, what sort of savings there something ?! A cheap! "- Exclaims someone. Ahn, no.

Look at a slightly truncated cylinder of a modern bank. On one bank of the savings under the current thickness of the wall - half a gram of metal, which gives tons of strategic savings. Also important factor was more simple transportation "punts". In general, the production of "cones" during the war was sharply reduced, and "humane» cone top after the blow was unable to get up. The last batch of beer in the banks with the neck was released in 1960.

Russia
In 1929, the brewery at the Vologda provincial Economic Council released a trial batch of beer in cans, timed to coincide with the World Exhibition in Barcelona. However, in 1930 (after its end) of the beer production was curtailed.



In the early 80's experiment was repeated. Before the Olympics-80 in Moscow produced canned beer "Golden Ring". In general sale as far as I know, it does not appear, but in the "Intourist" establishments there.

Production quickly curtailed because of the need for foreign currency to purchase special plant-based paint, which covered the inside of the bank.
