In producing 2-piece DRD cans, a coil of rolled steel or aluminum is fed into a cupping press that first cuts a round disc, then draws or ‘punches’ the disc into a cup.  This cup is drawn a second time to achieve its final shape and bottom before being trimmed to become a finished container – all to meet precise specifications.

Traditional draw redraw technology can also be used to create shaped containers by
contouring its tooling.  Shaped DRD alternatives are a cost-effective way for food
processors to gain marketing benefits without sacrificing quality, in addition to retaining superior processing reliability.
