🙋 4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What do the "300x407" specifications for this 14 oz (approx. 400g) can mean?

A: In the metal packaging industry, "300x407" refers to precise physical dimensions. "300" indicates a diameter of 3 inches, and "407" indicates a height of 4 and 7/16 inches. This is the globally recognized standard size for traditional retail 14 oz food cans.

Q2: Do the standard solid lids require a can seamer for sealing?

A: Yes. The included standard solid flat lids are designed for professional commercial sealing. You need to use a standard mechanical can seamer (automatic or manual) to crimp the lid rim to the can body, creating a truly airtight, leak-proof double-seam seal.

Q3: Are these cans suitable for hot-filling and high-temperature/high-pressure (retort) sterilization processes?

A: Absolutely. Our 300x407 tinplate cans and lids are engineered to withstand rigorous commercial food processing environments; they can endure high-temperature hot-filling, steam-based high-temperature/high-pressure sterilization, and vacuum sealing without coating failure or chemical degradation.

Q4: Can I order 14 oz cans with custom printed labels or branding?

A: Yes, we offer comprehensive custom lithographic printing services for bulk wholesale orders. You can have custom brand designs, logos, barcodes, and regulatory markings printed directly onto the metal sheets before the can bodies are formed.
