The manufacture of printed tin containers, particularly 15 kg and 15 litre square tins, plays an important role in the bulk packaging of edible oil, ghee, vanaspati and bakery shortening in India. These containers are manufactured from electrolytic tinplate and are designed to provide strength, durability, food-contact suitability and reliable protection during storage, transportation and stacking. As per IS 10325, the standard square tin has a cross-section of 235 mm and a height of 325 mm, while the height is 292 mm when the nominal capacity is specified as 15 litres.
Tinplate consists of low-carbon steel sheets coated with tin on both surfaces. It offers several advantages, including mechanical strength, printability, recyclability, corrosion resistance and suitability for food packaging. The container body is formed with a side seam, while the top and bottom are secured through double seaming. A wire handle, lug plates and a sealed filler opening complete the container.
The Indian tin container industry is evolving with increasing domestic tinplate supply, expanded manufacturing capabilities and stricter BIS quality-control requirements for raw materials and finished products. Standardised institutional packaging sizes, including 15 litre / 15 kg and 20 litre / 20 kg containers, continue to support demand. Although consumer-oriented edible oil packaging has increasingly shifted towards flexible pouches and PET bottles, metal tins remain relevant for wholesale, institutional and remote-market applications.
This project envisages establishing a manufacturing unit with a capacity of 3,000 tins per day. The proposed facility can cater to the packaging requirements of edible oil mills, ghee and vanaspati manufacturers and bakery-ingredient suppliers within regional markets.
