BS DIN GB Standard SPCC Tinplate Sheet for Canned Meat and Metal Packaging

1．Product Overview

BS DIN GB standard tinplate sheet is used for canned meat, food cans, closures, can bodies, can ends, crown caps, battery cans, shallow drawn parts, and other metal packaging applications.

The product is made from MR or SPCC cold rolled steel substrate with tin coating on the surface. Tinplate provides good surface quality, formability, coating compatibility, and corrosion protection for can-making and printed metal packaging.

2．Technical Solution

The tinplate sheet is produced according to BS EN 10202, DIN EN 10203, GB/T2520, and JIS G3303 standards.

Tin coating options include 2.8/2.8, 2.8/5.6, and 5.6/5.6 g/m². The coating can be selected according to food type, filling condition, storage environment, and corrosion protection requirement.

Temper grades from T2 to T6 and DR8 BA support different forming and stiffness requirements. Softer tempers are suitable for shallow drawing and formed parts, while higher tempers are suitable for can ends, bodies, and closures requiring stronger panel rigidity.

Bright, stone, and silver finishes with passivation and DOS oil support printing, lacquering, forming, and storage stability.

5．Application

This tinplate sheet is suitable for canned meat packaging, food cans, can bodies, can ends, crown caps, closures, battery cans, shallow drawn parts, pie pans, storage cans, and printed metal packaging.

It is commonly used in can-making lines requiring stable temper control, controlled tin coating, and surface quality suitable for printing or lacquering.

6．Processing

The product supports slitting, cut-to-length processing, printing, lacquering, stamping, shallow drawing, forming, seaming, and can body production.

Passivation and DOS oil treatment help improve surface stability during storage and downstream can-making operations.

Export packing with plastic film, rust-proof paper, metal cover, metal corner, metal band, and wooden skid supports container shipment and long-distance transportation.

7．Advantages

• MR and SPCC steel substrate provides stable forming performance for can-making applications.
• Tin coating options support different corrosion resistance and packaging requirements.
• T2–T6 and DR8 temper grades cover shallow drawing, can body, can end, closure, and crown cap applications.
• Bright, stone, and silver surface finishes support printing, lacquering, and decorative packaging.
• Thickness range from 0.15mm to 0.50mm supports light packaging and stronger container designs.
• Standard export packing helps protect the tinplate sheet during transportation and storage.

8．How to Choose

• Choose T2 for shallow drawn parts, closures, rings, and plugs.
• Choose T3 or T4 for general can bodies, can ends, and crown caps.
• Choose T5 for can ends and bodies used for non-corrosive products.
• Choose DR8 for small diameter round can bodies and ends requiring higher rigidity.
• Choose higher tin coating such as 5.6/5.6 g/m² when stronger corrosion protection is required.
• Choose bright or silver finish for printed and decorative metal packaging.
• Choose stone finish when surface appearance or coating process requires it.
• Confirm thickness, width, cut length, temper, tin coating, surface finish, and final can-making process before production.
