The general design of tin box packaging should not only pursue aesthetics, but also consider its practicality.If the packaging is too gorgeous, it will cause the company a high cost and cause too much waste.Therefore, the selection of packaging materials should be safe, strong, lightweight, low-priced, and have a scientific and reasonable internal structure that can protect the product without adverse side effects. It is necessary to prevent the waste of large packaging of small commodities and luxurious packaging of low-priced commodities.
The raw materials for the production of tin boxes are generally tinplate, frosted iron, galvanized iron, base plate iron (also called black iron by many people), etc. However, aluminum is also used in the production of some products.
1.The most commonly used is tinplate. The thickness of tinplate commonly used by tin box manufacturers is generally 0.19-0.35mm. Iron materials exceeding this thickness range cannot be printed.
2.Matte iron is also a commonly used raw material. Because it is not easy to cause scratches, many products that do not require printing are made of frosted iron.However, the price of brushed iron is also relatively expensive.
3.Galvanized iron is generally used in products such as iron buckets and ice buckets, but the frequency of use is not very high, and the thickness is generally within the range of 0.28mm and 0.30mm.
4．Substrate iron is generally used on products that require double-sided printing.
