4-piece can, single site. Sheet is cut into four separate blanks, each pressed and stored individually before being issued to the Can Line for seaming.
3-piece can, three physical sites. No separate cutting or component storage — the Can Line auto-slits, welds, and seams in one pass; the Component Division auto-presses both ends on identical equipment.
