There is provided a method of fabricating sheet stock having reduced earing during container forming. The method comprises the steps of providing a body of an aluminum base alloy suitable for rolling into sheet stock for forming containers therefrom and hot rolling the body to provide a flat rolled product having a hot rolled structure. The flat rolled product is provided with 5 to 20% of the structure being recrystallized. Thereafter, it is annealed in the temperature range of 400 DEG to 700 DEG F. to provide a fully recrystallized product which is cold rolled to sheet stock having reduced earing during container forming.
