Trade tips

  • A round tin turns on the shelf: repeat the logo twice around the body.
  • Leave the top and bottom of a can design clear of the rims, where artwork distorts.
  • Clear PP labels give a "no-label" look on glass; white text needs an underprint.
  • Gloss lamination deepens colours but shows fingerprints and glare under shelf lights.

What is the formula milk tin with plastic lid sample printed on?

The sample is plastic decal (white / clear PP) 0.08 mm with gloss lamination.

Construction

A beverage can is two-piece: the body is drawn and ironed with its base from one aluminium blank, necked in, then seamed to an easy-open end with a ring pull. Food tins are usually three-piece: flat-printed tinplate is rolled into a body, welded along one side seam, then the ends are double-seamed on. Aerosols are three-piece tinplate or impact-extruded monobloc aluminium topped with a valve cup, actuator and overcap; the designer handles the body print or a wrap label/shrink sleeve.

Choosing board and material

Aluminium cans and monobloc bottles are printed directly on the metal by dry offset after forming; tinplate is offset-printed flat before rolling. For short runs or stock plain cans, use white or clear PP labels of about 60–80 micron or PETG shrink sleeves of about 40–50 micron. Food and drink cans carry a food-contact internal lacquer supplied by the can maker.

Finishing

Direct print on aluminium can leave bare metal showing for a silver effect, take gloss or matt over-varnish, or thermochromic inks; the number of colours is limited (often up to 6–8) and fine vignettes and tiny type are hard. Labels and sleeves print photos, metallics and zoned matt like any flexible pack. Neoprene koozies are dye-sublimated or screen-printed, never laminated.

Preparing the print file

The can body flattens into a rectangle as long as the circumference and as tall as the straight wall; leave out the necked shoulder and domed base, where artwork distorts. Three-piece tins need a few mm unprinted strip at the side weld; direct-print cans need separations matched to the can maker's print stations, with no complex overprints. Run barcodes along the can axis and keep key type 5–8 mm from the top and bottom edges.

Common mistakes

  • Putting type and logos on the neck or base curve: they squash and a round logo stops being round.
  • Designing smooth gradients for direct can print: they band and break up on a multi-station dry-offset press.
  • Forgetting the weld strip on a three-piece tin: type crossing the seam breaks or loses colour.
  • Paper labels on cans that go into ice: condensation wrinkles them and they lift off in the cooler.

Questions and answers

How much does a Ø127 mm formula tin hold?

About 400–900 g of powder depending on height; under the plastic overcap is a peel-off foil seal and a scoop clipped into the lid.

What's special about labelling infant formula?

Infant formula has its own labelling and advertising rules, often including a statement that breastfeeding is best; follow the registered content exactly and don't add promotional claims.

Can small runs be printed directly on aluminium cans?

Direct printing usually needs very large quantities per design; short runs such as craft beer or event drinks use plain cans with shrink sleeves or film labels, which look almost like printed cans.

What 330 ml can formats are there?

The standard Ø66 mm can about 115 mm tall and the tall sleek Ø58 mm can; same volume, completely different artwork — it must match the filler's can.

What's the difference between tin and aluminium cans?

Aluminium is light, rustproof and the norm for carbonated drinks; tinplate (tin-coated steel) is rigid and handles high-temperature sterilisation, so it suits canned fish and meat, condensed milk and premium dry goods.
