What is Printed Tinplate Coil?

Printed tinplate coil is cold-rolled low-carbon steel substrate coated with a thin tin layer through electrolytic deposition, subsequently printed with food-grade inks using offset lithography or digital printing technologies. The base material typically ranges from 0.15mm to 0.49mm in thickness with tin coating weights between 2.8g/m² and 11.2g/m² per side, meeting ASTM A623 and EN 10202 specifications for dimensional tolerances and surface quality standards.

Printed Tinplate Coil Technical Specifications

Our printed tinplate coil manufacturing adheres to international quality benchmarks with base steel conforming to JISG3303 standards. Tin coating thickness ranges from T1 (2.0g/m²) to T5 (11.2g/m²) with chromium passivation layers of 10-120mg/m². Standard coil widths span 600mm to 1050mm with master coil weights reaching 8-12 metric tons. Temper grades include T1-T5 hardness classifications, providing tensile strength values from 290 MPa to 520 MPa depending on application requirements.

Why Choose Our Printed Tinplate Coil

We maintain mill-direct partnerships with ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturers equipped with state-of-the-art printing lines capable of 8-color process printing at resolutions exceeding 200 LPI. Our quality assurance protocols include spectrophotometric color matching with Delta E values below 2.0, ensuring brand color consistency across production runs. All materials comply with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 for direct food contact and EU Regulation 10/2011 for migration limits, supported by complete material traceability documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Standard MOQ for printed tinplate coil stands at 20 metric tons per design specification, though we accommodate smaller trial orders of 5-10 tons for new product development with adjusted pricing structures. Custom printing setups require cylinder engraving lead times of 15-20 working days.

Premium Tinplate for High-Volume Food Can Production
Long-term partnership for printed tinplate supply - latest order of 35 tons (0.18mm thickness, 1000mm width, T3 coating) maintained their consistent quality standards. ASTM B545 verification showed tin coating at 5.6g/m² with excellent uniformity. Four-color printing delivered vibrant graphics with 210 LPI resolution for our tomato paste can labels. Chromium passivation at 100mg/m² provided superior corrosion protection for acidic food products. Received ASTM A623M Section 8 temper classification certificates and complete migration testing per EN 13130. Express production completed in 28 days for established cylinder designs.

Acceptable Quality with Initial Color Matching Issues
Purchased 8 tons of printed tinplate coil (0.20mm, 820mm width) for promotional tin boxes. Initial production run had color variance with Delta E at 3.2, exceeding our 2.0 specification. Supplier promptly arranged reprinting of affected portion at no additional cost and provided enhanced color control documentation. Final delivery met all requirements with improved color consistency. Material mechanical properties were satisfactory with T2 temper suitable for stamping operations. Total timeline extended to 52 days due to reprinting but supplier maintained good communication throughout the resolution process.

Reliable Tinplate for Industrial Container Production
Ordered 10 tons as trial order for industrial paint can project (0.22mm thickness, 750mm width). Material quality was solid with T2 coating meeting basic corrosion resistance requirements. Print adhesion passed our tape test protocols without issues. Compared quotes from five suppliers and their pricing was middle range but included free artwork feasibility analysis. One coil had minor surface scratches affecting approximately 2% of material, but supplier offered immediate replacement. Lead time was 47 days, slightly longer than quoted 40 days due to shipping delays.

Good Value Printed Tinplate for Aerosol Production
Ordered 15 tons of 0.19mm printed tinplate (900mm width, T2 coating) for aerosol container manufacturing. Material quality met ASTM A623 specifications with tensile strength at 310 MPa. Print resolution was acceptable at 185 LPI, slightly below our usual 200 LPI standard but still suitable for our application. Pricing was competitive compared to three other European suppliers. Delivery took 44 days, within the promised timeframe. Minor edge burring on two coils required additional processing but supplier provided compensation.
