I. First Understand: Why Are Tinplate Aerosol Cans the First Choice for Customization?
To be honest, tinplate aerosol cans are the “cost-performance king” in the 2025 packaging market. Compared with other materials, it has 3 irreplaceable advantages:
- Strong stability: Performance remains unchanged in the environment of -40℃ to 60℃, suitable for national and even global transportation
- High degree of customization freedom: From 30ml mini cans to 1000ml large cans, from round to special-shaped, they can be produced on demand
- High cost performance: For mass customization, the unit cost is 35% lower than aluminum cans and 50% lower than glass cans, and they can be recycled and reused
II. Customization Core: 3 Technical Parameters to Avoid Mistakes (2025 Latest Standards)
| Technical Parameters | Standard Requirements | Customization Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Resistance | ≥1.4Mpa (GB 13042-2025) | It is recommended to choose 1.6Mpa enhanced version for industrial products |
| Sealing Performance | Leakage ≤0.5ml/min | Products containing volatile components need enhanced sealing |
| Coating Adhesion | Cross-cut test ≥4B | Food and pharmaceutical products must choose 5B grade coating |
| Printing Precision | Registration error ≤0.1mm | CMYK four-color printing is recommended for complex patterns |

III. Cost Control Skills: Customize This Way to Save 20%
- Standardized specifications: Prioritize conventional outer diameters such as 45mm, 52mm, and 65mm. The cost of special-shaped cans will be 15%-20% higher
- Simplified processes: Do not use complex embossing and gold stamping unless necessary. Basic printing + partial varnish can meet the needs and save money
- Batch planning: Sign an annual framework agreement with the supplier, pick up goods in batches, the price can be locked for 12 months, avoiding the risk of raw material price increases
IV. Compliance Must-See: 2025 Export/Domestic Sales Certification List
- Necessary for domestic sales: Production license (SC certification), GB 13042-2025 test report, quality certificate
- Export to EU: CE certification, REACH compliance report, UNE-EN 15007:2025 certification
- Export to US: FDA certification, CPSIA compliance statement, ASTM D3475 test report
- Export to Southeast Asia: ASEAN standard certification, local customs filing documents
V. Novice Customization Process: 5 Steps to Complete
- Demand communication: Tell us the can type, capacity, purpose, printing requirements, order quantity, and delivery time
- Scheme design: We will provide 2 sets of design schemes + sample quotes within 3 working days
- Sample confirmation: Provide 3 free samples, confirm the material, printing, and sealing performance before signing and finalizing
- Mass production: Full-process visual tracking, real-time synchronization of production progress
- Quality inspection and delivery: 100% leak detection and appearance quality inspection, delivery after passing, and provide acceptance report
VI. Common Misunderstandings: Don’t Step on These 3 Pits!
- Only look at price but not quality: Some manufacturers use 0.18mm thin iron sheets, which do not meet the pressure resistance requirements and are prone to safety problems later
- Ignore certification requirements: Failure to confirm the target market certification in advance leads to the product being detained by customs when exporting, resulting in heavy losses
- Delivery time is too tight: Customized cans require a minimum production cycle of 12 days. Do not reserve too little time to avoid delaying the launch
