Four out of five consumers prefer the convenience of easy-open (EZO) ends.

Brands and products with EZO ends are more relevant to consumers because they

deliver the convenience today’s busy consumers demand.

l EZO ends are easier to open; no can opener is required

l Consumers view them as a value-added convenience and safer than traditional ends

l Consumers use brands with easy-open ends before those without, boosting usage

and sales
