Of course. I'm talking about home equipment that produces cans that look just like the real ones. My impression is that it's expensive but available. I've seen it once--a place in the mall that would can things for you--an exotic way of wrapping Christmas presents. Magicians also use such stuff. Getting a proper-looking label on it would be tricky but not impossible.
