“cool, contemporary and cutting edge” are just a few terms to describe our FUSION® aluminium bottle. Making FUSION® your pack of choice will make a big impact for your brand in the market place.
The straight wall cylinders (or pre-forms) which form the basis for our FUSION® aluminium bottle are produced on the same high speed lines as our cans.
Pallets of pre-forms are transported to the FUSION® necking process where they are loaded onto the necking operation. The pre-forms are necked to become a FUSION® aluminium bottle and the bottle neck and thread / curl is formed depending on the required closure. The type of closure will influence the print area on the FUSION® aluminium bottle (see the section “what’s available” for more details on the print area).
Once the FUSION®® bottle is formed, it enters a final wash before it is inspected. Then the bottles are palletised, ready for shipment to our customers’ filling locations.
Ball supplies the FUSION® aluminium bottle with one single type of closure: a Screw cap.
The screwcap closure influences the size of the print area. In the section "what's available" on this website you find more information on the print area.
The advantage of ROPP or Screw cap closures is that it makes the bottle re-sealable.
Ball does not produce the closures for your FUSION® aluminium bottle, but will assist you with your closure order and graphic design. Please contact your local Ball sales representative.

The front end of the production process – until just after the printed design is cured – is the same as for the can. It is the necking process which makes the straight wall cylinder into the bottle making FUSION® both lightweight and sophisticated in look and feel.
Our highest resolution can printing processes are available for use on FUSION® aluminium bottles and our Ball specialists can help you to make the most out of your brand.
