Đường kính, chiều cao, and capacity that shape shelf appeal
Size does half the selling. A wide, short tin looks generous, while a tall one reads sleek. Phù hợp với kích thước to your product, and check the thiết kế công thái học: can a thumb pop the lid open?
| Đường kính (mm) | Chiều cao (mm) | Ideal cylindrical volume (ml) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 30 | 59 |
| 65 | 40 | 133 |
| 80 | 50 | 251 |
| 100 | 60 | 471 |

Application-specific internal coatings for premium protection
Corrosion is the quiet troublemaker. A suitable internal coating provides a barrier between the fill and the metal. For food applications, resinous and polymeric coatings must meet the prescribed conditions of use; a coating name alone does not establish compliance. Food-contact components must also have purity suitable for their intended use. Branded tin cans only feel premium if the tea tastes like tea, not metal.

- Inspect seams during kiểm tra chất lượng. For thermally processed low-acid canned foods, CHÚNG TA. rules require regular closure observations and recorded corrective action for defects.
- Thêm vào kháng áp lực trials only when the tin holds pressurized goods.
For nonpressurized dry-product tins, agree on relevant closure, nén, and transit tests rather than automatically specifying burst testing. Liquid dangerous-goods packaging may require leakproofness testing even when it does not contain pressurized goods.
Cấu hình pallet, thu nhỏ gói, and transit protection
