Metal packaging coatings

Protect the
metal.
Design for the
complete
package.

Coating guidance for can bodies, ends, caps, closures and fabricated components. We begin with the packed product, coating position, metal, forming route and processing conditions.

Metal coating production reference

The coating is selected around
the complete package.

Surface position

Internal, external, ends, closures or repair areas.

Product contact

Contents, processing and destination requirements.

Production fit

Application, forming, curing and downstream compatibility.

Choose by coating position

Where will the coating
perform?

Start with the surface being protected. Final coating suitability is reviewed against the actual package, contents, manufacturing process and trial conditions.

01

Internal Protective Coatings

For the product-contact side of suitable cans, containers and components after application review.

02

External Base & Protective Coatings

For metal surfaces that require a controlled base, protection or compatibility with decoration.

03

Internal & External Systems

For projects requiring coordinated coating performance across both sides of the metal package.

04

Ends, Caps & Closures

For formed components where coating, forming, sealing and packed-product contact must be reviewed together.

05

Side-Seam & Repair Coatings

For suitable welded-seam protection and selected repair areas after line and curing review.

06

Need Application Guidance

Share the component and process you use; we will help define the correct coating discussion.

Choose by application

What are you
manufacturing?

Select the closest packaging family. The image shows application references; your enquiry remains focused on the coating requirement.

Middle East packaging application references

Three-Piece Food Cans

For suitable processed-food can bodies and components.

Nutrition & Powder Cans

For milk powder, nutrition and related dry-product formats.

Edible Oil & General Food

For suitable food containers and formed metal formats.

Aerosol & Personal Care

For aerosol bodies and components after contents review.

General-Line & Industrial

For paint, lubricant and selected industrial containers.

Ends, Caps & Closures

For EOE, POE, caps, closures and related components.

Component-focused review

Coating
performance
continues through
forming.

Ends, caps, closures and seam areas must be reviewed as manufactured components—not only as flat coated metal.

Forming & stamping

Coating integrity after draw, bend and profile formation.

Seaming & closure

Compatibility with sealing and package assembly.

Heat & processing

Review of filling, curing and thermal conditions.

Handling exposure

Protection through production, transport and use.

Requirement guidance

What defines the coating
route?

Share the details available to you. “Need guidance” remains an acceptable answer where the requirement is still being developed.

01

Metal & coating position

Tinplate or aluminium; internal, external, both, component or repair area.

02

Packed contents

Food, powder, oil, aerosol, chemical, lubricant or another product.

03

Filling & processing

Ambient fill, hot fill, pasteurisation, retort or other processing conditions.

04

Fabrication route

Body making, drawing, stamping, welding, seaming or closure forming.

05

Application & curing

Roll coating, spray or other method plus available oven or curing information.

06

Reference & problem

Existing coating, sample, documentation need or current production issue.

Performance review

The package determines
the priorities.

Performance is discussed against the confirmed component, contents, processing route and production line.

Adhesion & coverage

Reviewed on the selected metal and application route.

Forming & flexibility

Considered through stamping, bending and seam formation.

Corrosion & chemical exposure

Assessed against the actual contents and use conditions.

Heat & processing conditions

Reviewed for filling, curing and thermal process demands.

Handling & fabrication

Considered through line movement, assembly and transport.

Ink & varnish compatibility

Coordinated with external decoration where applicable.

Food-contact suitability requires a confirmed application.

Documentation and application suitability are reviewed against the package, contents, processing conditions and destination-market requirements. Detailed product references and compliance documents are provided after the requirement is confirmed.

Technical detail follows requirement review.

Product codes, formulations, detailed technical parameters, manufacturer information, documentation and commercial terms are not published openly. They are shared as appropriate after application review.

Guided enquiry

Describe the
package.
We’ll define
the coating
discussion.

You do not need every answer. Share what is available and select “Need guidance” where details are not yet confirmed.

Purchasing process

A clear route from
package requirement to
trial.

Three practical stages keep the project focused while product mapping, formulations and manufacturing information remain private.

01

Share the Package
Application

Provide the component, metal, coating position, packed contents and processing conditions.

02

Review the Coating Route

We clarify performance priorities, production compatibility, documentation and trial conditions.

03

Prepare Trial & Offer

A suitable coating discussion, sample or trial route and commercial offer are prepared.
