❓ FAQ

Q1: Will the black coating become cloudy, turn grey, or peel off during the retort sterilisation process?

A: Absolutely not. We utilise a proprietary high-temperature cured exterior lacquer that forms a fully cross-linked structure with the steel substrate. Formulated to endure rigorous sterilisation cycles (121°C), the coating resists chemical breakdown, fading, and blistering, ensuring a rich, deep black appearance from the autoclave to the retail shelf.

Q2: Can we customise the print design on the bottom of the can? What are the tooling costs?

A: Yes, the text or logos in the recessed area at the bottom of the can can be fully customised based on your vector artwork (AI or PDF format). Since we manufacture these empty can bodies in-house, our mould and printing plate setup fees are highly competitive; these costs can even be completely waived for bulk wholesale orders that meet our standard rolling supply agreements.

Q3: How does your factory prevent empty cans from scratching each other during overseas palletised transport?

A: The surfaces of unfilled cans are highly susceptible to damage. To prevent metal-on-metal friction, our automated palletising lines carefully place each empty can onto clean divider sheets. Heavy-duty, high-density cardboard separates each layer, and the load is tightly secured with high-tension, sea-freight-grade stretch wrap, reinforced by sturdy corner posts to ensure stability.
