Trade tips

  • Leave the top and bottom of a can design clear of the rims, where artwork distorts.
  • Cans are printed straight on metal: white is a separate underprint, or colours show the metal through.
  • A round tin turns on the shelf: repeat the logo twice around the body.
  • Gloss lamination deepens colours but shows fingerprints and glare under shelf lights.

What is the small lever-lid paint tin sample printed on?

The sample is offset-printed tinplate (tins, cans, crown caps) 0.21 mm with gloss lamination.

Construction

A lever-lid paint tin is a tinplate cylinder: a rolled body welded down the side seam, a double-seamed base, and a rim with a ring into which the lid presses tight. The lid is prised open at the edge with a screwdriver or tin opener; a steel bail hooks into two welded ears on the body. After filling, the lid is tapped round with a rubber mallet to seal.

Choosing board and material

Tinplate (tin-coated steel) about 0.2–0.3 mm thick, internally lacquered to resist solvents or water depending on the paint. Water-based paint needs an anti-rust internal coating; labels are PP film or laminated paper that withstands oil and solvent.

Finishing

Offset printed directly on the flat tinplate before the body is rolled, then gloss or matt varnished; short runs use plain tins with labels. Bare silver metal can be used as an effect; white needs a white base coat because the substrate is metal.

Preparing the print file

The flat body layout is circumference × height; leave the 3–5 mm side-seam weld zone unprinted and 5–8 mm clear of the top and bottom seams. The two bail ears cut across the body, so centre the logo between them. Paints and adhesives are chemicals, so the label needs hazard pictograms and safety instructions under the applicable chemical labelling rules.

Common mistakes

  • Copy right where the bail ears sit: the metal ears cover it.
  • White printed straight onto the metal: it comes out silvery grey.
  • No hazard pictograms on a solvent-based paint label: mandatory safety information is missing.
  • Artwork running across the side seam: the weld line cuts through the pattern.

Questions and answers

How long is the body label for a 99 × 92 × 129 mm 0.5 L paint tin?

A diameter of about 99 mm gives a circumference of about 311 mm; a wrap label of about 300–305 mm leaves room for the bail ears, or use a front label about half the circumference.

What products suit a small 0.5 L lever-lid tin?

Wood stain, oil paint, wood oil, adhesive and colour sample pots; a small tin with a bail is easy to carry up a ladder and reopen many times.

How tall is a 0.5 L paint tin?

It depends on the can maker: a 0.5 L tin about 85–100 mm across usually has a body only about 70–95 mm tall, with the raised bail adding to the overall height; always get the real can drawing before making the label.

What must a paint tin label show?

Product name, colour, volume, hazardous ingredients, hazard pictograms, instructions for use and safety, and the producer, per the labelling rules in force.

Print directly on the tin or use a label?

Direct tinplate printing is durable and handsome for volume; labels are flexible when many colours share one plain tin.
