4. Packing: Carton packaging / packed by shrink wrap, and then fixed by straps on the pallets / according to the customers' requests.

Production Process Flow
The typical production process for F Style Metal Cans includes the following steps:
1. Material Preparation: Selecting suitable metal sheets (such as tinplate)
2. Cutting and Blanking: Cutting the metal sheets to the required dimensions
3. Bending and Forming: Forming the basic structure of the can through bending.
4. Corner Cutting and Grooving: Cutting the ends of the can.
5. End Folding: Folding to form the bottom structure of the can.
6. Rolling: Rolling the can material into a circle.
7. Applying Flux and Preheating: Preparing for welding.
8. Welding: Joining the can seams using resistance welding technology.
9. Solder Removal and Cooling: Cleaning the weld seams and cooling.
10. Flanging: Flanging the edges of the can.
11. Can Lid Manufacturing: Producing the can lid through stamping.
12. Can Body and Can Lid Assembly: Completing the assembly through a double-sealing process.
Product Features
1. Material: Made of high-quality steel or aluminum, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability to ensure safe storage of contents.
2. Design: Unique F-type design facilitates stacking and transportation, saving space. Typically equipped with an easy-open lid for convenient use.
3. Capacity: Available in various capacities to meet different customer needs, common capacities include 1 gallon and 5 gallons.
4. Sealing: Excellent sealing performance effectively prevents leakage and protects contents from external environmental influences.
5. Recyclability: The metal material is 100% recyclable, contributing to environmental protection and sustainable development.
Base Material: tinned cold-rolled steel plate
1. Material code: usually SPTE (Steel Plate Tin Electrolytic) or tinned plate that complies with JIS G 3303, ASTM A623 and other standards.
2. Thickness range: 0.18mm - 0.50mm (common range, depending on the tank size, capacity and strength requirements). The tinplate thickness generally used by DS Packaging is as follows:
- 0.37L, 0.8L, 1L, Half Gallon, 2L, 2.5L, 1 Gallon, 4L, 5L cans use 0.23mm, 0.25mm, 0.28mm
- 10L~15L cans may use 0.28mm, 0.32mm, 0.35mm,
- 18L, 5 gallon, 20L, 23L steel pail will use 0.32mm, 0.35mm, 0.38mm, 0.40mm, 0.42mm, 0.45mm, 0.5mm
3. Tin plating amount: usually use 2.8/2.8 (tin plating amount on both sides is 2.8g/m²) or similar levels (such as E2.0/E2.0, E5.6/E5.6, according to customer requirements). For food grade or high corrosion resistance requirements, a higher tin plating amount will be selected.
4. Surface treatment:
- Bright: standard glossiness.
- Matte: matte, no glossiness.
- Stone: specific texture, conducive to paint adhesion or reduce reflection.
5. Tempering degree: such as T-2.5, T-3, T-4CA, etc., representing the hardness/toughness of the steel plate. F-style cans often use T-2.5 or T-3 to balance formability and strength.
Description of Can body, Bottom, Top Cover and Accessories
1. Can body:
- Material: mostly tinplate or tinplate.
- Coating: optional inner coating or Clear Lacquer
2. Upper cover and lower bottom: the same raw material SPTE as the can body. DS Packaging generally uses tinplate that is slightly thicker than the can body. Actual production has proved that such a crimping combination will be more solid.
3. Liner/sealing gasket of the lid:
- Material: commonly used PE/PET composite gasket, can also be non-woven gasket, paper gasket with a waterproof film, if the customer has a need, can also customize the most expensive silicone gasket with the best sealing degree.
- Function: provide elastic sealing between the lid and the can mouth to ensure sealing.
4. Handle:
- Material: DS Packaging usually provides two materials: plastic or tinplate. Among them, there are 3 commonly used tinplate metal handles, including European high handles, Japanese wide handles, and iron wire foldable handles.
- Surface treatment: coating (such as epoxy) or laminating may be added to improve corrosion and rust resistance.

Usage Precautions
⚠️ Important Note: The threaded cap is recommended for use only with vegetable oils, mineral oils, weak acids and alkalis, alcohol, and organic solvents. It has poor resistance to strong acids and alkalis and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents.
Accessories (caps) usually need to be purchased separately; please confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Please confirm chemical compatibility with the container material before storing the contents.
