How to Choose the Right Tinplate Aerosol Can for Cosmetic Packaging?

Category:News
Release time:2026-01-06

Think about the last time you grabbed a hairspray, sunscreen mist, or shaving foam—what’s the first thing that registers about its packaging? For cosmetic brands, Tinplate spray packaging isn’t just a container; it’s a shield for formulas, a brand billboard, and a promise of safety. That’s why Cosmetic aerosol cans made from tinplate have become a go-to for many players in the beauty space—they balance performance, protection, and presentation in a way few materials can. And when it comes to finding a partner that delivers on all these fronts, SAILON’s expertise in tinplate aerosol can manufacturing has made it a trusted name for brands worldwide.

Why Choose Tinplate for Cosmetic Aerosol Packaging?

Ever wondered why tinplate stands out when it comes to holding pressurized cosmetic products? Let’s break it down:

  • Pressure resistance: high-pressure tinplate containers handle internal pressure like a pro—no bulging or leaks, even in warm, crowded shipping containers. For products like hairsprays or setting mists that rely on consistent pressure, this stability is non-negotiable.
  • Superior barrier properties: Tinplate locks out light, oxygen, and moisture—critical for preserving active ingredients in serums, sunscreens, or anti-aging sprays. Unlike plastic, it won’t let harmful elements seep in and compromise the formula.
  • Durability: Compared to aluminum cans, tinplate is sturdier, meaning fewer dents or crushes during transit. Imagine your product bouncing around in a shipping truck—wouldn’t you want a container that can take a beating without looking worse for wear?

In most cases, brands that prioritize long shelf life and product integrity lean toward tinplate—and it’s easy to see why.

Ensuring Safety: Internal Coatings and Compatibility

Safety isn’t just a buzzword when it comes to cosmetic packaging—especially when formulas sit in contact with the can for months. That’s where Internal coating for aerosol cans steps in, and it’s a detail SAILON never cuts corners on.

Internal Coating TypeKey FeaturesSuitable Cosmetic Formulas
Epoxy-PhenolicHigh chemical resistance, non-reactiveAcne sprays, acidic toners, waterproof sunscreens
PolyesterExcellent adhesion, food-grade safeShaving foams, body mists, hydrating sprays
Water-Based LacquerEco-friendly, low VOCNatural/organic cosmetics, sensitive-skin products

BPA-free cosmetic cans are no longer a “nice-to-have” but a standard for many brands—and SAILON’s line of BPA-free options ensures no chemical migration, letting customers use your products without second-guessing. What’s more, every can undergoes compatibility testing with different pH levels (from acidic serums to alkaline hair products) to ensure the coating holds up, no matter the formula.

Customization & Branding (Lithography Printing)

Your Cosmetic aerosol cans are an extension of your brand—so why settle for bland packaging? Tinplate’s smooth surface is perfect for lithography printing, and SAILON’s in-house capabilities take this to the next level:

  • Precision color matching: Whether you need CMYK designs or Pantone-matched shades, we replicate your brand’s exact hues with crisp, fade-resistant results.
  • Special finishes: Matte for a luxe, understated vibe, glossy for eye-catching shine, or soft-touch coatings that feel as premium as the formula inside.
  • Custom shapes & sizes: From compact 50ml cans for travel-sized products to 200ml options for full-sized sprays, SAILON can tailor dimensions to fit your needs.

Ever walked down a drugstore aisle and been drawn to a can’s unique design? That’s the power of thoughtful branding—and tinplate makes it possible to turn your vision into reality.

Sustainability of Tinplate Packaging

Say you’re a brand leaning into eco-friendly messaging—tinplate checks that box too. Unlike single-use plastics, tinplate is 100% recyclable; in fact, the global recycling rate for tinplate stands at over 90% (as of 2024), according to the World Steel Association. SAILON takes sustainability further by using water-based, low-VOC inks for printing, cutting down on environmental impact without sacrificing that sharp, vibrant look.

And let’s be honest—today’s consumers care about what happens to packaging after use. Choosing recyclable tinplate isn’t just good for the planet; it’s good for your brand’s reputation too.

Quality Standards & Certifications (ISO/DOT)

At the end of the day, you want to know the cans you’re using meet global standards. SAILON holds ISO 9001 certification (a stamp of consistent quality control) and complies with DOT 2P/2Q regulations—critical for shipping pressurized containers safely across borders. These certifications aren’t just paperwork; they mean every can goes through rigorous checks:

  • Pressure testing (up to 150 psi) to ensure no leaks
  • Coating adhesion tests to prevent flaking
  • Corrosion resistance checks for long-term durability

When you partner with SAILON, you’re not just buying cans—you’re buying peace of mind that every unit meets the highest industry standards.

So, when you’re picking Tinplate spray packaging for your next cosmetic launch, it’s not just about picking a container—it’s about picking a partner that understands your brand’s needs. From pressure resistance to sustainable design, from safety-focused coatings to custom branding, SAILON’s tinplate aerosol cans turn a simple container into an asset that works as hard as your product does.
