Coatings are crucial for ensuring packaging safety. They prevent direct contact between food or beverages and the metal and protect the metal from corrosion caused by the contents. This dual function helps avoid contamination and environmental exposure. Coatings are critical to maintaining product integrity, extending shelf life, and preserving the safety and quality of packaged goods.

MPE members are committed to delivering product and social benefits through metal packaging and prioritise product safety for brands and consumers.
