Why cant heinz make their tins stackable  You know where there is a lip on the top and the bottom just slots into another . Causes grief if you knock them in the cupboard and stacking them like a pyramid isn't on

I believe you have too much time on your hands, Mr Emd.

I know what you mean though.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Andy B...eanz will have the answer.

Presumably Heinz let him have as many beanz as he can eat....free of charge.

I'll ask! 

Our cans are made in 3 bits .... lid, body and end, others are made in two, ie the body & end are made by pressing in one piece of steel, then they put a lid on. No idea why some cans are made one way or the other

They always use to be stackable , we have some heinz spaghetti hoops that are not stackable either  I fear this is a cost saving thing

At least you get a ring pull (nice  ) with Heinz, you need to go to all that bother of a tin opener with cheaper ones.

But the cheaper ones are stackable and i bet they get their beanz from andy

Can's made at Kitt Green have always been the same type ie NOT stackable
They've just spent £millions on a new canning machine ..... we make our own cans on site - though the lids & ends are made elsewhere

No. They taste completely different. My lad will only eat Branston and, if I give him Heinz, he knows.

The ONLY beans that go out of the door with something other than Heinz on the label are HP beans  No own label super market beans at all.

Coke have different plants for product and cans and bottles. I saw it on 'mega factories' ont telly.

Beans eh? Fascinating.

So do Heinz. No idea where it's made now, but we used to do baby food until very recently, & the tall Big Soups used be done elsewhere until recently, but we do them now.

It makes sense to leave a live set up to do a particular size whether that's a bottle or can ..... it makes for less change over time and time getting to run properly afterwards.
