Italian translation:riduzione dello spessore
Explanation:
non sono certo ma mi sembra possibile

“[There's] been a general down-gauging of the metallizing substrates, [coupled with the production of] larger size rolls,” notes Raugei. “Modern metallizers can process rolls as wide as 180 inches and 50 inches in diameter, resulting in a roll length of 250,000 linear feet or more. Metallizing speed also has increased substantially, reaching over 3,300 feet per minute. Overall, state-of-the-art metallizers have an output of more than double in comparison to machines installed just a few years ago.”

As in many flexible material applications and processes, the substrate down-gauging and increased speeds Raugei refers to have reduced costs for converters and manufacturers of metallized products, another factor to point to when calculating the field's growth and staying power.

se fa riferimento al volume della lattina allora è \"riduzione o della lattina o del suo volume\".
Io pensavo (senza sapere ciò) ad una riduzione dello spessore dell\'alluminio
