Tinplate materials used by tin box company

Tsing, as a professional tin box company, uses tinplate as the main material for these tin boxes, which is ideal for durability and strength. They have a strong structural integrity, ensuring that our tin boxes can withstand external pressure and impact during transportation and handling. This durability protects the quality and safety of the contents of different types of tin boxes. The tin coating on the tinplate has excellent corrosion resistance, which prevents rust and other forms of steel deterioration. Their smooth surface is ideal for high-quality printing and embossing, allowing us to produce visually appealing tin boxes with bright colors and intricate designs. In addition, tinplate is 100% recyclable, so Tsing’s tin boxes are also an environmentally friendly packaging choice.

Printing Designs Used on Tin Boxes

Within these different types of tin boxes, Tsing uses different printing techniques to meet the design requirements of other brands. Tsing uses several different printing techniques to achieve:
Lithographic printing is a high-quality technology that accurately transfers detailed full-color images and designs to tinplate. This method ensures vibrant colors, sharp lines, and a durable surface that resists long-term wear and tear.

Offset printing is another technology Tsing uses, which is ideal for producing large quantities of tin boxes with consistent quality. Transferring the ink from the printing plate to the rubber blanket and then to the tinplate surface ensures the final design’s high resolution and accuracy.

Digital printing suits custom and small-volume orders, providing flexibility and speed. This technology can quickly change the design, making it ideal for personalized or limited-edition tin boxes.
To further enhance the appeal of the tin box, Tsing offers a range of special finishes such as matte, gloss, and spot UV coating. These finishes can add tactile elements to the design, making the packaging more attractive to consumers.

Tsing uses Embossed and debossed techniques to add texture and depth to the tin box design. Raising the design above the can surface while embossing creates a recessed effect, highlighting specific design elements or brand logos.
