From January 28 to 29, 2025, Foshan Dekai Metal Packaging Co., Ltd. made a grand appearance at Paris Packaging Week 2025, and demonstrated the company's outstanding strength and innovative technology in the metal packaging industry during the exhibition.
Offset printing is currently one of the most commonly used processes for tinplate printing. It primarily uses a rubber blanket to transfer the design onto the tinplate surface. Offset printing not only achieves high-resolution printing but also produces rich color gradations.
Tinplate sheet offset printing relies on inks, which differ significantly from those used in other types of printing, such as screen printing and gravure. Due to the unique demands of tinplate sheet offset printing, inks must not only ensure precise transfer, but also exhibit strong adhesion to metal surfaces and abrasion resistance.
The time of this process may vary depending on the type of equipment in the production line, the complexity of the treatment process, and the quality of the tinplate sheet. Generally, the preparation takes 10 to 30 minutes, but if special surface treatments (such as anti-corrosion, anti-oxidation treatment, etc.) are required, the time may be longer.
The offset press used for tinplate printing is different from ordinary paper printing equipment, and the equipment itself is highly customized. Because the metal material is harder, the equipment must have a higher pressure control ability during the printing process to ensure that the ink can be evenly transferred to the tinplate surface.
Although offset printing technology has many advantages, with the continuous advancement of printing technology, other emerging printing methods are also challenging the status of offset printing. In 2025, new technologies such as digital printing and screen printing have gradually entered the field of tinplate printing.
At present, many well-known beverage brands in the world use tin sheet as packaging materials, especially some high-end beverages, functional beverages and canned beer, beverages, etc.
