A method of making a can assembly includes double-seaming a double-countersink metal end onto a can body and reforming the double-countersink metal end so as to effectively yield a single-countersink metal end of smaller diameter. In the process, the region of the can body adjacent the metal end becomes necked-in. The method can be applied to make a stackable three-piece can in which the reformed smaller-diameter metal end will fit within a double-seam of a metal end attached to the opposite ...
