For example, the packaging of acidic food cans such as jam and ketchup often requires thicker tinplate to resist the erosion of acidic components. Generally speaking, the thickness of tinplate for such food packaging cans is about 0.20 mm to 0.30 mm.

In food packaging, the thickness of the tinplate sheet is directly related to the sealing performance and durability of the packaging. Standard tinplate sheets (0.20mm to 0.30mm) are often used in food cans and beverage cans, which can ensure both sealing and packaging strength.
