Due to its hard and non-absorbent material, Mirach Metallurgy adopts offset printing as a major method for tinplate printing used for metal cans. The printing methods are mainly classified into two types by their can structure. Sheet printing, using lithographic plates, for metal sheet is applicable to 3-piece and DRD cans. Alternatively, curved surface printing, using plastic letterpress plates (Ref. 2-piece Can Waterless Lithographic Printing) is applicable to 2-piece DWI cans and TULC.
