Tinplate coil is a tin coated steel material produced by electroplating a thin layer of tin onto cold rolled steel substrate. It is widely used in food packaging, beverage packaging, can lids, printed metal boxes, aerosol cans, chemical containers, and general metal packaging products.
The steel substrate provides strength, stiffness, and formability, while the tin coating improves corrosion resistance, solderability, surface cleanliness, and printing performance. Because of these advantages, tinplate coil is one of the most important raw materials for can-making factories, food packaging manufacturers, printing factories, and metal packaging suppliers.
Henan GDD supplies food grade tinplate coils with customizable thickness, width, temper, tin coating, surface finish, passivation, oiling, and coil weight. We support bulk orders, slitting, cutting, inspection, export packing, and international shipment.

Tinplate coil is a thin steel coil coated with tin on both sides by electrolytic tinning. It is also called electrolytic tinplate coil, ETP coil, tin coated steel coil, or tin mill black plate with tin coating.
Tinplate is designed for packaging applications that require a clean surface, good formability, stable coating, and reliable corrosion protection. It can be printed, lacquered, cut, slit, stamped, welded, and formed into different metal packaging products.
For food packaging applications, tinplate is commonly used together with internal coating or lacquer to meet product protection and food-contact requirements.
Different tempers are available according to the forming depth, strength requirement, and final product type.
| Temper | Feature | Common Application |
| T1 | Very soft, excellent formability | Deep drawing cans, special forming parts |
| T2 | Soft temper with good forming performance | Food cans, general can bodies |
| T3 | Balanced strength and formability | Can bodies, lids, printed tin boxes |
| T4 | Higher hardness and better rigidity | Can lids, ends, closures |
| T5 | High hardness and strong stiffness | Crown caps, bottle caps, hard packaging parts |
| DR8 / DR9 | Double reduced, high strength and thinner gauge | High-strength can ends and lightweight packaging |
Tin coating can be customized according to corrosion resistance, welding performance, lacquer compatibility, and customer application.
| Tin Coating | Description | Typical Use |
| 1.1/1.1 g/m² | Light tin coating | General packaging with coating or lacquer |
| 2.8/2.8 g/m² | Common tin coating | Food cans, printed tin boxes, lids |
| 5.6/5.6 g/m² | Higher tin protection | Food packaging and chemical containers |
| 8.4/8.4 g/m² | Stronger corrosion resistance | Special packaging applications |
| Differential Coating | Different tin coating on each side | Customized can-making requirements |
Henan GDD supplies different surface finishes for printing, lacquering, decoration, and can-making requirements.
| Surface Finish | Description |
| Bright Finish | Smooth and reflective surface, suitable for high-quality printing |
