Tin cans for long-life food have had a revolutionary importance in the evolution of men’s eating habits. In fact, since ancient times, the relevance of preserving the food over time has been immediately clear. The invention of a food preservation system guaranteed the survival of human beings in many critical situations. Without it, storing food stocks in periods of famine, carrying the food for long distances and feeding sailors and soldiers during their missions would not have been possible. Therefore, it is not surprising learning that the first packages for long-life food appeared as early as 1700.
