The invention relates to a can end for a can, such as an easy opening can, comprising: a central panel; a can end radius for connection to a body of the can; and a countersink connected via a transition wall to the can end radius and via a panel wall to the panel; wherein a panel wall angle is 2&#xb0;-45&#xb0;; a panel radius is larger than 0.5 mm; a panel depth is 1 mm-7 mm; and a countersink radius is less than 5 mm; and to cans provided with at least one such a can end.

Can end for a can and such can

A can (), in particular for conditioning foodstuff, includes a body composed of a bottom element () which is prolonged by a lateral wall (), the interior surface () of the body being at least in part made of tin, the tin surface () being partially covered with a coat of protective lacquer () to prevent the contact between the tin surface () and the foodstuff, the lacquerless tin surface, the 'exposed', being intended to come into contact with the foodstuff in order to set free the tin. The exposed tin surface is constituted of a plurality of 'exposed' tin zones (), which are separated, ones from the others, by lacquered zones (), the exposed tin zones () being distributed on the height of the lateral wall (), in particular to limit the aesthetic impact due to chemical action of the foodstuff on the exposed tin zones ().
