1. Full-Chain In-House Production Capabilities (50M Annual Capacity)
Our 20,000㎡ factory covers the end-to-end tinplate can production chain — no external subcontracting:
Raw material: Direct procurement from top 3 global tinplate suppliers (e.g., Baosteel) with 0.2-0.35mm food-grade tinplate (compliant with EU EN 10333 standards);
Processing: In-house stamping (12 automated lines), welding (precision seam welding), seaming (double-seam technology), and digital printing;
This closed-loop production cuts lead times by 30% (vs. outsourced models) — we fulfill 1M-unit bulk food packaging orders in 7 days (critical for seasonal food product launches).
2. Advanced Tech for Sealing & Traceability
We’ve deployed industry-leading automated equipment to guarantee packaging reliability:
Traceability & branding: High-definition 8-color digital printing lines support variable data printing (batch numbers, anti-counterfeiting QR codes, shelf-life info) — while enabling custom brand designs (e.g., matte coatings, embossed logos) for 3-piece tinplate cans.
3. 3-Stage QC System for Food-Grade Safety
We follow a strict quality control process to eliminate risks for food packaging:
Inbound: Tinplate is tested for corrosion resistance (salt spray test ≥48 hours) and thickness tolerance (±0.01mm);
In-line: 3 inspection stations monitor can body strength (compression resistance ≥200N), seal tightness, and print adhesion (cross-cut test ≥4B);
Final: 100% of finished food-grade tinplate cans undergo food contact safety testing (heavy metal migration <0.01mg/kg) before shipment — all batches comply with GB 4806.9 (China) and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 (US) standards.
Sustainability: We use water-based eco-inks (VOC emission <50g/L) and 100% recyclable tinplate (recycling rate ≥95%), helping clients reduce packaging carbon footprint by 22% (vs. plastic alternatives);
Customisation: Flexible adjustments for can specs — e.g., square tinplate cans (for gift sets), easy-open tinplate cans (for snack packaging), or screw-top cans (for powdered food);
Cost efficiency: With 50M annual production capacity + long-term supplier contracts, we offer 15-20% lower unit costs for 3-piece tinplate cans and bulk food packaging orders (vs. small-scale manufacturers).
