The sample is plastic decal (white / clear PP) 0.08 mm with gloss lamination.
A tin is a body and lid formed from tinplate: shallow tins and pocket tins are deep-drawn in one piece, tall tins have a rolled body that is welded or seamed and then double-seamed to the base. Lids can be slip, screw-thread, hinged or press-fit; oil cans add a corner pour spout and a carry handle. Decoration is either offset printed on flat tinplate sheets before forming, or a label applied to a plain blank.
Tinplate runs about 0.18–0.30 mm thick, thinner for small tins and thicker for large cans and load-bearing boxes; the inside gets a food-grade lacquer when tea, biscuits or sweets touch it directly. Plain blanks take white or clear PP film labels that resist moisture and oil and survive wiping. Tins for wax, balm or candles need an interior coating that handles oil and heat.
Offset printed tinplate is varnished gloss or matte, and can carry an embossed logo on the lid, metallic inks, or bare silver metal as a design effect. Applied labels are laminated gloss or matte, with foil for gift tins. Deep embossing stretches the print, so keep printed detail on raised areas compact and avoid hairlines.
For printed tinplate, design on the flat layout: body (circumference × height), lid (top plus skirt), with seam and curl zones left unprinted; white areas need a white base coat because the metal is silver. For labels, measure the real blank: the body label stops below the 10–20 mm covered by a slip lid, and lid labels are 3–5 mm smaller than the lid face. With a deep slip lid, no copy belongs on the covered part of the body.
It is in the 18–20 litre class, used for industrial cooking oil, bulk honey, paint and chemicals; at that weight, spout, handle and seams must be leak-tested before dispatch.
Name, composition, quantity and manufacturer, and for hazardous chemicals GHS pictograms, a signal word and precautionary statements; make it large and legible from a distance.
Offset printed tinplate looks best and lasts, but needs forming tools and sheet printing — a large-run route; small runs use stock plain tins with a digitally or offset printed film label.
Yes, when the interior has a food-contact lacquer; tea, biscuits and dry sweets can go in directly, while moist or acidic foods need a liner bag or a suitable coating.
Tinplate resists rust well when dry; deep scratches, cut edges and humid storage can rust, so avoid damp warehouses and do not pack wet goods without a liner.
