From the observation of ALB coffee heavy users Behavior of loyal heavy consumers (office workers) under observation Iconize and Habitual conduct If we ask them the reason why they choose, the answer is the product itself is OK as it is, but I like it. Many of them can t describe the reason clearly. For a switch They drink the bottle up taking time just to distract themselves of the need for something to put in their mouth. We hope that ALB coffee will become a new category of beverage Copyright Universal Can Corporation 8

Our ALB could help build customer brands by appealing New image of package Enhance its AROMA Compensating the price of our package, our clients add value to their product and success, because the manufacturing cost of ALB is higher by around 70% even compared to SOT Can.
