　　The outer packaging of tinplate boxes is not only suitable for the food packaging industry but also applicable to related materials such as tinplate, aluminum, tin, and stainless steel sheets. Tinplate box packaging has a wide range of uses, including skincare product tinplate boxes, tea packaging, gift box packaging, and tinplate boxes for tobacco and alcohol. It’s safe to say that tinplate box packaging has long since become deeply embedded in all aspects of our daily life and work. Once a product catches fire, it can easily spark controversy—and this holds true for food-grade tinplate box packaging as well.

　　At this stage, the packaging products for food-grade tinplate boxes on the market are made of tinplate. Depending on the different production processes, food-grade tinplate boxes can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the “national industry standard bucket,” and the other is the “miscellaneous bucket.” Simply put, the national industry standard bucket adheres to a unified Chinese product standard and is safe for direct contact with food—examples include milk powder cans, Red Bull cans, tea cans, mooncake cans, and so forth. These are also the types you’ll find in the miscellaneous bucket category. Whether it’s a national industry standard bucket or a miscellaneous bucket, both can be considered non-toxic and harmless. There’s no issue with safe handling, and they won’t affect the quality or internal structure of the packaged products.

 

　　Compared with other materials, tinplate packaging boasts high barrier properties, resistance, water resistance, light-blocking capabilities, excellent fragrance preservation, and stable sealing performance, making it highly effective at protecting products. Metal composite materials offer superior printability, resulting in logos that are bright, attractive, and elegant—making the packaging visually appealing and an excellent choice for sales packaging. Stainless steel containers can be custom-made into irregular shapes—such as circular, elliptical, square, special-shaped, or even irregular forms—to meet diverse product packaging requirements. By further innovating packaging materials in this way, these containers have gained widespread popularity among consumers.

　　Tinplate boxes boast the luster of metallic materials, and coupled with vividly colorful graphic designs and printing, they enhance the visual appeal of the product and elevate the standard of outer packaging. Customers generally prefer products packaged in metal containers.

　　The outer packaging of tinplate boxes conforms to plastic packaging standards. According to news reports following last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, after the celebratory events concluded, most of the dried fruits originally packaged in non-tinplate boxes were repackaged into mooncake boxes. The mixed materials from these repackaged products have relatively low recycling value. However, the dried fruits still packed in tinplate boxes can be recycled in electric ovens. This approach is environmentally friendly—it allows for resource recovery, conserves resources, and helps reduce air pollution. Although rust may scatter into the soil, it has no adverse impact on the natural environment. Moreover, metal containers are highly hygienic, as the printing inks used in their packaging meet appropriate food hygiene and safety standards.
