Parsippany, New Jersey   The Discovery Channel’s show, “How It’s Made” sent a film crew to obtain footage of Allstate Can Corporation’s New Jersey can making operation on Wednesday, March 22nd.

Each segment is narrated to inform viewers about the fabrication methods of a variety of products, from daily household items to complicated electronic equipment and heavy machinery. Narrations are accompanied by music specially composed for "How It's Made". The Allstate Can segment will highlight how various styles of tins such as welded cans used for coffee and other products requiring an airtight seal and traditional slip-cover “cookie” style tins are made.

“We’re thrilled and honored to have been sought out; of course we think making tins is exciting and interesting—we hope viewers of the show feel the same way! Allstate has one of the most extensive tooling libraries in the industry…we make so many styles and types of cans. The director determined it was best to narrow it down to the most common cans that people see and use every day—we could have filmed for weeks if we had tried to show everything. We really are in the specialty packaging business and make some truly unique things,” commented Leslie Wing, Allstate’s Director of Marketing.

Allstate Can Corporation manufactures a variety of metal packaging including slip-cover decorative tins, single- and multiple-friction cans, seamless tins, tins with windows, as well as interior seal and easy-open tins at plants in Parsippany, New Jersey and Stockton, California. Nearing a century of manufacturing excellence, the company services a wide range of customers including the food, coffee and tea industries, gift and stationary companies, and industrial customers such as automobile wax, chemical and petroleum products, and printing inks manufacturers.

"How It's Made" airs on the Discovery Channel and is narrated by Lynn Herzeg. The segment featuring Allstate Can is expected to air this winter.
