Chang Shou [Taiwan Impression Square Coaster]

【Square Coaster】 Size: 9cm x 9cm Thickness: 5mm Material: Tin Plate / Soft Magnet Usage: Can be used as a coaster or a refrigerator magnet. 【Origin of the Name "Tin Plate"】 Tin plate was formerly known as "Yang Tie" (洋鐵) in Chinese, with its formal name being "tin-plated steel sheet." The term "Ma Kou Tie" (馬口鐵) originated because the first batch of tin plate imported into China during the mid-Qing Dynasty came from Macau. "Ma Kou" is a phonetic translation of Macau, hence the common name "Ma Kou Tie." Tin plate has a wide range of applications, from packaging for food and beverages to cans for oil, chemicals, and other miscellaneous goods. The advantages and characteristics of tin plate offer excellent physical and chemical protection for the contents. Tin cans are an environmentally friendly packaging material. Among existing containers like iron cans, aluminum cans, paper, and plastic containers, each has different recycling and disposal characteristics. However, iron cans are superior in recycling and disposal compared to other packaging materials. With the upcoming promotion of the international environmental management standard ISO-14000, tin cans, with their low pollution, recyclability, and resource-saving properties, will have a broader development space in future packaging applications. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1796/43241205104_807fcf507a_h.jpg ※Please note when ordering!
