Aluminium cylinders may be marketed with an external paint coating, a low temperature powder coating, plain or coloured anodised finish, bead-blasted matt finish, brushed finish, or mill finish (no surface treatment). The material is inherently fairly corrosion resistant if kept clean and dry between uses. Coatings are generally for cosmetic purposes or for legal colour coding requirements. Steel cylinders are more sensitive to corrosion when wet, and are usually coated to protect against corrosion.

In September 2012, Australia's Department of Health wrote to Philip Morris warning the new plain packaging of its Bond Street cigarettes may break the country's plain tobacco packaging laws, saying the packaging only "heavily resembles the plain packaging requirements". "We note that if these products are sold, offered for sale or otherwise supplied after 1 December 2012 the packaging would not be compliant with the Act. The breach of the act could possibly expose the company to massive fines of up to $1.1 million". The department took issue with the use of the word "cigarettes" in small type on the side of the packet, saying the outer surfaces of the packet must have a matt finish and warned the pack may not be the correct colour - Pantone 448C.

Certain groups became closely associated with formative residencies at particular pubs – a prime example was the long-running residency by Midnight Oil at the Royal Antler Hotel in Narrabeen, on Sydney's northern beaches in the late 1970s. Some pubs became associated with particular styles – in the early 1980s, the Civic Hotel in Sydney's CBD provided important support for many emerging local "new wave" acts including Mental As Anything, The Choirboys, The Numbers, Sunnyboys, INXS and Matt Finish. Other pub-rock venues became renowned for offering a wide variety of music by the best established and emerging acts; venues of this period include the General Bourke Hotel in Adelaide, the Railway Hotel in Richmond, Victoria, and in Sydney, the Annandale Hotel, the Family Inn in Rydalmere, the Hopetoun Hotel in Surry Hills and the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown.
