Two cans can look alike and perform very differently. Use this checklist to compare any milk can with a Cowbell can before you spend your money.
Milk cans carry food all day, every day, so quality is not a place to save a few rupees. Two cans can look similar in a shop and behave very differently after a year of daily use. Here are eight checks you can make on any can, and how a Cowbell can measures up.
The 8-point checklist
- Steel grade. Ask for the grade in writing. Cowbell stainless steel cans are made from SS 304 grade steel and say so on the product page.
- Interior finish. The inside should be smooth and bright, with no pits or rough patches where milk residue can hide.
- Welds and seams. They should be clean, even and polished flat, with no gaps.
- Lid fit. The lid should sit snugly and seal well. For rough routes, choose a lockable model.
- Neck and handles. Look for a strong neck and firmly fixed handles that will not loosen with a full load.
- Weight and wall thickness. A can that is too thin dents easily. Cowbell aluminium cans in the NDDB design list a wall thickness on the product page.
- Certification. Prefer a maker with documented quality systems, not just a claim.
- Track record and support. Choose a supplier who will still be here to answer questions and supply spares years from now.

See for yourself
The best test is to hold a Cowbell can next to any other. Look at the polish, the welds, the lid and the weight. Start with the 40 LTR stainless steel milk can or the 20 LTR stainless steel milk can, then see all our documents on the Certifications page.
