12 Oz Bottles: 355 ml, the Drink and Sauce Size
By Joe Joo · 8PCK · Shantou · Updated 26 October 2026
12 oz (355 ml) is the can equivalent and a common sauce and drink bottle size in the US. It sits between 300 and 375 ml, which is why metric markets rarely use it.
12 oz is the US can size, and bottles adopt it for drink and sauce lines that share a filling run with cans.

Where 12 Oz Comes From
It is the standard US can volume, so a bottle that matches it can share a case, a shelf plan and a price point.
Drinks
355 ml PET with a 28/410 or 38 mm neck.
Sauce
Same volume with a wide neck and sauce cap.
Metric Mismatch
In Europe the equivalent is 330 or 500 ml; a 355 ml bottle looks odd on a European shelf.
