Without accurate measurements, you risk misaligned match gapping, leading to defects like pleats and unnecessary spoilage.
Match gapping—pairing knockouts and dies to maintain specifications—is crucial for uniform tooling in every necking station. Taking the time to measure your tools ensures high-quality cans and prevents production issues.

$IPS CanSCHOOL - Structured Can Plant Training Short videos don’t replace real training. When learning is passive, operators retain only a small fraction of what they see, and that’s not enough to run a line confidently. Hands-on, applied training is different. Retention jumps significantly when operators are engaged, practicing, and learning in context. That’s the foundation of CanSCHOOL™. Structured, practical training built designed to improve real operator performance on the floor. Covering beverage and food cans and ends, with new subscription options to scale training across your entire plant. Reach out to learn how CanSCHOOL™ can strengthen your training program. #CanSCHOOL #CanPlantTraining #CanMaking #CanMakers$
