[The Origin of the Name "Tinplate"] Tinplate was formerly known as "Yang Tie" (洋鐵) in early times, with its official name being "tin-plated steel sheet." As the first batch of tinplate imported into China during the mid-Qing Dynasty came from Macau, which was transliterated as "Ma Kou" (馬口) at the time, it became commonly known as "Ma Kou Tie" (馬口鐵). Tinplate is widely used, from packaging materials for food and beverages to cans for oils, chemicals, and other miscellaneous items. The advantages and characteristics of tinplate provide excellent physical and chemical protection for the contents. Tinplate cans are an environmentally friendly packaging material: existing containers include tin cans, aluminum cans, paper, and plastic containers. While these containers have different recycling properties, tin cans are superior in recycling compared to other packaging materials. With the impending promotion of the international environmental management standard ISO-14000, tinplate cans, with their low pollution, recyclability, and resource-saving properties, will have broader development prospects in future packaging applications. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1796/43241205104_807fcf507a_h.jpg ※Please note when ordering!
