This rigid metal construction makes the cans 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. Our design meets UN specification for hazardous-material shipping, and the tinplate is FDA-compliant for direct food contact. The cans also withstand elevated temperatures (enabling sampling of hot materials like asphalt or tar).Together, these features ensure safe, certified packaging suitable for demanding global markets in food, chemical, coatings and related industries.

Key Features
Detail of Open Top Metal Cans
—01
Size & Capacity
We offer a comprehensive range of standardized capacities to accommodate virtually any need. Common volumes include 4 oz to 105 oz, among others. Sizes cover small sample containers up to multi-quart/gallon cans. Each can comes with a fitted metal sealing end by default. Optional Easy-Open End lids (tear-off steel tops) and plastic snap-on covers are available to meet different handling preferences. Custom dimensions or special volumes can be provided to match unique requirements.
—02
Rim & Lids
- Standard (Sharp) Rim: The top curl is finished with a sharp, punched edge for hermetic sealing. Warning: This razor-like rim should always be used with a lid. Handling without a cover can be dangerous due to the exposed cut edge.
- Rolled (Safe) Rim: An alternate “safety roll” version is offered, where the can’s top edge is curled inward to eliminate the sharp flange. This smooth-rolled rim is easier and safer to handle, though it cannot be double-seamed with a steel lid. A plastic lid may be used for sealing rolled-rim cans (a metal end cannot be crimped on rolled edges).
- Closure Options: By default, cans ship with standard tinplate lids for permanent sealing. For convenience, we also supply Easy-Open (EOE) tear-off metal ends and reusable plastic lids to fit sealed cans. The Easy-Open ends allow tool-free opening, while plastic screw or snap caps provide spill protection and reusability.

Interior Coatings
- Uncoated (Bare Tinplate): The interior is left bare (no lining). Suitable for dry foods, powders, or industrial materials.
- Gold (Aluminized) Enamel Lining: A gray/gold epoxy lining baked onto the inner walls. This lining provides a tight seal that preserves moisture and flavor, making it ideal for wet or acidic foods (soups, sauces, oils).(It “locks in freshness” for both dry and wet-packed goods).
- R-Type Enamel (Rubber/Epoxy) Lining: A durable paint-like epoxy lining on the interior. R-enamel is generally used for wet or dry food applications and offers chemical resistance for a wide range of products.
