Color Tinplate Sheet
Color tinplate sheet is a coated steel product with a tin layer on both sides, designed for packaging applications where corrosion resistance, formability and printability are required. Jialu Metal stocks color tinplate across multiple international standards, so a project needing food-grade cans in GB/T 2520, JIS G3303 or DIN EN 10203 does not have to be split across mills with different material specs.

- Coated on both sides with tin for corrosion resistance and food safety compliance
- Available in multiple international standards including GB/T 2520, JIS G3303 and DIN EN 10203
- Multiple coating weights and surface finishes to suit printing, forming and aesthetic needs
- Temper grades from T2 to DR8 allow selection based on formability and stiffness
Mill certificates issued against the ordered grade and standard. Third-party inspection available on request.
What This Material Is For
Color tinplate sheet is a coated steel product with a tin layer on both sides, designed for packaging applications where corrosion resistance, formability and printability are required. Jialu Metal stocks color tinplate across multiple international standards, so a project needing food-grade cans in GB/T 2520, JIS G3303 or DIN EN 10203 does not have to be split across mills with different material specs. The same order can include different coating weights, surface finishes and temper grades, all shipped from one warehouse with one inspection date.
Why Buyers Choose It
- Coated on both sides with tin for corrosion resistance and food safety compliance
- Available in multiple international standards including GB/T 2520, JIS G3303 and DIN EN 10203
- Multiple coating weights and surface finishes to suit printing, forming and aesthetic needs
- Temper grades from T2 to DR8 allow selection based on formability and stiffness
- One supplier for mixed-specification packaging projects avoids split sourcing across mills
Where It Is Used
- Food and beverage can manufacturing using GB/T 2520 or JIS G3303 grade material
- Tea and oil can production requiring bright or color-printed surfaces
- Paint and chemical can fabrication needing corrosion resistance and seal integrity
- Aerosol can bodies with high formability and surface finish requirements
- Gift packaging and promotional items using color-printed or mirror-finish tinplate
- Printing applications where surface smoothness and ink adhesion are critical
Who It Is For
- Packaging manufacturers producing metal cans for food, beverages, chemicals and aerosols
- Brand owners sourcing custom-printed tinplate for product packaging
- Contract packagers handling multi-product lines with varying surface and coating needs
- Industrial buyers requiring mixed standards and finishes on one order
Problems It Solves
- Splitting one packaging project across multiple mills due to differing material standards
- Delays caused by mismatched coating weights or surface finishes between suppliers
- Inconsistent temper grades leading to forming issues in high-speed can lines
- Multiple inspection dates and shipment schedules when sourcing from separate mills
- Difficulty in matching international standards like GB/T 2520, JIS G3303 and DIN EN 10203 on one order
Technical Features
- Tin coating available in equal (1.4/1.4 to 11.2/11.2 g/m²) and different (e.g. 1.4/2.8, 5.6/8.4) configurations
- Thickness range from 0.12 mm to 6.0 mm, width from 600 mm to 1500 mm
- Surface finishes include Bright, Stone, Silver, Matte, Mirror and Color Printing
- Temper grades T2, T2.5, T3, T3.5, T4, T5, DR7, DR7M, DR8, BA and CA for varied formability
- Annealing methods: Continuous (CA) and Batch (BA), selected by end-use requirements

Materials
- MR, SPCC and SPCH steel grades for general packaging and forming applications
- Tin-coated steel with balanced corrosion resistance and formability
- High-purity steel substrates for food-grade and sensitive chemical packaging
Manufacturing Route
Quality Control
- Chemical composition and mechanical property checks against ordered standard
- Tin coating weight verified using X-ray fluorescence or gravimetric methods
- Surface finish inspected under controlled lighting for uniformity and defects
- In-house testing capabilities support routine checks; third-party inspection available on request
- Mill certificates issued per purchase order, referencing the standard and grade
Customisation Options
- Coating weight and surface finish selected per application need
- Temper grade and annealing method specified at order stage
- Width and thickness customized within the standard range
- OEM service accepted for branded packaging and private label production
- Packing and marking arranged to suit destination port and inspection regime
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Galvanized steel | Galvanized offers higher corrosion resistance but lacks the food-safe surface and printability of tinplate, making it unsuitable for direct food contact or high-quality printing |
|---|---|
| Aluminum foil laminate | Aluminum laminate is lighter and more flexible but less durable and more expensive; tinplate offers better rigidity and reusability for cans and containers |
| Untreated steel | Untreated steel corrodes quickly and cannot be used in food or chemical packaging; tinplate provides a protective barrier and meets regulatory standards |
Buying Guide
- Start with the application and end-use environment (e.g. food, chemicals, printing) to select the correct standard and surface finish
- Specify the required coating weight and temper grade based on forming process and stiffness needs
- Provide the exact thickness and width range needed, as availability varies by size
- For color printing, confirm surface finish and ink compatibility at order stage
- Request third-party inspection at order stage to align with production and shipping schedules
