Specialised Empty Cans for Canned Sardines — China Metal Food Packaging Supplier and Exporter

Jianyida is a leading Chinese supplier and exporter of metal food packaging, specialising in the design and manufacture of high-performance empty cans for sardine, mackerel, and tuna canning lines. Our metal food containers are produced using a seamless two-piece deep-drawing process; this eliminates the risk of side-seam or bottom-seam leakage, ensures 100% seal integrity, and effectively extends product shelf life even in challenging storage environments.

Industry-Standard Specifications: Features the globally recognised "1/4 Club" rectangular tapered design, precision-engineered for seamless compatibility with high-speed automated canning equipment.

Superior Lid Compatibility: Fully compatible with 311# Easy-Open Ends (EOE), aluminium pull-tab lids, and standard sanitary ends, streamlining factory seaming processes.

High-Temperature Sterilisation Resistance: Engineered to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature autoclave sterilisation, ensuring structural stability without deformation, collapse, or micro-leakage.

Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Manufactured from premium Electrolytic Tinplate (ETP) and specialised aluminium alloys, effectively resisting chemical oxidation caused by brine, tomato sauce, and organic packing oils.

OEM Offset Printing and Internal Protective Coatings:

BPA-Free Internal Protection: Interior walls are coated with certified, high-grade materials (including sulphur-resistant organosols and epoxy-phenolic coatings)—selected specifically based on your food formulation—to prevent sulphide staining.

Customised External Branding: Supports high-definition, multi-colour OEM offset printing and scratch-resistant varnish finishes, maximising retail shelf appeal and consumer brand recognition.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What standard capacities and sizes do you offer for canned sardines?

We can also customise can heights and offer round or oval can shapes to meet your specific capacity requirements.

Q2: Are your empty metal food cans suitable for high-temperature sterilisation (retorting) processes?
