Color Tinplate Coil
Color tinplate coil is supplied in a range of coatings, temper grades, surface finishes and thicknesses to meet the demands of high-volume metal packaging lines. Buyers who would otherwise source base tinplate, coated tinplate and color-coated coil from separate mills can consolidate the entire scope under one contract, one inspection and one shipment. Jialu holds color tinplate coil across food, beverage, chemical a
- One contract covers base tinplate, coated tinplate and color-coated coil, reducing procurement complexity
- Color printing and surface finishes available on the same coil, so no need to outsource secondary coating
- Temper grades from T2 to DR8 and BA/CA annealing options support forming, drawing and deep-drawing operations
- Coil sizes from 0.12 mm to 6.0 mm thickness and 600–1500 mm width cover most can-making machinery
Mill certificates issued against the ordered grade and standard. Third-party inspection available on request.
What This Material Is For
Color tinplate coil is supplied in a range of coatings, temper grades, surface finishes and thicknesses to meet the demands of high-volume metal packaging lines. Buyers who would otherwise source base tinplate, coated tinplate and color-coated coil from separate mills can consolidate the entire scope under one contract, one inspection and one shipment. Jialu holds color tinplate coil across food, beverage, chemical and aerosol packaging applications, so a project requiring cans for tea, oil, paint or aerosol does not need to be split across multiple suppliers and inspection dates.
Why Buyers Choose It
- One contract covers base tinplate, coated tinplate and color-coated coil, reducing procurement complexity
- Color printing and surface finishes available on the same coil, so no need to outsource secondary coating
- Temper grades from T2 to DR8 and BA/CA annealing options support forming, drawing and deep-drawing operations
- Coil sizes from 0.12 mm to 6.0 mm thickness and 600–1500 mm width cover most can-making machinery
- Third-party inspection can be arranged before shipment, avoiding delays after arrival
Where It Is Used
- Food and beverage can production for tea, oil, milk and carbonated drinks using color-printed tinplate
- Chemical and paint can manufacturing requiring corrosion-resistant and visually branded packaging
- Aerosol can lines needing high-formability grades with DR7 and DR8 temper for deep drawing
- Gift and promotional can packaging where mirror, matte or stone surface finishes are required
- Packaging lines using 508 mm or 610 mm coil inner diameter, matching standard can-making equipment
Who It Is For
- Packaging OEMs sourcing full can-making material sets for food, beverage and chemical products
- Can-making machine operators who need consistent coil dimensions and temper grades across production runs
- Brand owners requiring color-printed tinplate for consumer-facing packaging with brand-specific finishes
- Export-focused packaging converters who need one supplier for multiple grades and surface treatments
Problems It Solves
- Splitting tinplate sourcing across base, coated and color-coated suppliers, which multiplies inspection visits and shipment dates
- Inconsistent temper grades or surface finishes between batches leading to machine stoppages during can forming
- Need to outsource color printing or secondary coating, increasing lead time and cost
- Mismatched coil inner diameter or width causing downtime on can-making lines
- Lack of one-stop supplier for mixed-standard tinplate needs across food, chemical and aerosol packaging
Technical Features
- Tin coating options include equal (1.4/1.4 to 11.2/11.2 g/m²) and different (e.g. 1.4/2.8, 5.6/11.2) sides for corrosion and appearance control
- Temper grades T2, T2.5, T3, T3.5, T4, T5, DR7, DR7M, DR8, BA and CA support forming, drawing and deep-drawing
- Surface finishes: bright, stone, silver, matte, mirror and color printing available on the same coil
- Coil thickness: 0.12 to 6.0 mm; width: 600 to 1500 mm; inner diameter: 508 or 610 mm
- Annealing methods: continuous (CA) and batch (BA) to suit forming and surface finish requirements

Materials
- MR, SPCC and SPCH steel grades for general-purpose tinplate with good formability
- Equal and different tin coating options to balance corrosion resistance and cost
- High-temperature annealing (CA) for improved surface quality and formability
- DR7 and DR8 temper grades for deep-drawing applications in can-making
- BA annealing for high surface finish consistency in mirror and stone finishes
Manufacturing Route
Quality Control
- Chemical composition and mechanical property checks against GB/T 2520, JIS G3303 and DIN EN 10203
- In-house CNAS-certified laboratory performs routine testing on material and coating
- Third-party inspection available on request, bookable before shipment
- Mill certificates issued per order, including grade, standard, coating and temper
Customisation Options
- Tin coating thickness and side balance (equal or different) can be customized
- Temper grade and annealing method selected per forming requirement
- Surface finish and color printing arranged to match brand or packaging design
- Coil dimensions (thickness, width, inner diameter, weight) specified at order stage
- OEM service accepted for branded packaging and private label coil
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Uncoated steel coil | Uncoated steel is cheaper but requires external coating and printing; color tinplate reduces steps and ensures coating consistency |
|---|---|
| Pre-coated but unprinted tinplate | Pre-coated coil saves time but still requires separate printing; color tinplate delivers full branding in one coil |
| Pre-printed aluminum coil | Aluminum is lighter and more corrosion-resistant but more expensive; tinplate offers better cost-performance for food and beverage cans |
Buying Guide
- Start with the application (food, chemical, aerosol) to select the required coating and surface finish
- Specify the temper grade (e.g. DR7 for deep drawing) and annealing method (CA or BA) based on forming equipment
- Send the coil dimensions (thickness, width, inner diameter) with the enquiry to confirm availability
- State the color printing design early so it can be aligned with the coil production schedule
- Book third-party inspection at order stage to avoid delays after shipment
