Shandong Sino Steel Co., Ltd., a trusted manufacturer established in 2018 with a modern factory spanning 10,000–30,000 square meters, is proud to offer our premium ETP Tinplate DR-8 Print Sheet for Food Cans in 0.20mm thickness. This product is specifically designed for the food packaging industry, meeting strict FDA compliance and food-grade material standards to ensure the safety and integrity of your canned goods. With an annual export value of US$2.5–5 million and a dedicated team of 101–200 employees, we combine advanced production capabilities with rigorous quality control to deliver sheets that provide excellent printability, corrosion resistance, and formability for your food can manufacturing needs.
Our ETP Tinplate DR-8 sheets are manufactured using high-quality electrolytic tinplate (ETP) with a double-reduced temper (DR-8), offering higher strength and thinner gauge compared to conventional tinplate. This allows for material savings without compromising structural integrity. The 0.20mm thickness is ideal for food cans that require lightweight yet durable packaging. The print sheet surface is specifically engineered to accept high-quality printing, enabling vibrant branding and product information on the final can. Backed by our ISO9000 and ISO19011:2000 certified management systems, every coil undergoes strict inspection to ensure consistent performance.
