Fruits & Vegetables
Tinplate packaging engineered for the acidity, sterilization, and colour-retention demands of canned fruits and vegetables. Designed for thermal processing, pressure integrity, vacuum sealing, and shelf-stable performance across canned fruits, vegetables, legumes, olives, and baby food purée applications.
Acidity, Pressure, and Color Stability
Canned fruits and vegetables span the full pH range in food packaging. High-acid fruits demand internal coating systems that prevent tin pinking and color migration. Low-acid vegetables and legumes require pressure-retort compatibility at 116 to 121 degrees Celsius for commercial sterility. Olives demand corrosion resistance against brine and salt-rich liquids. Baby food purées require infant-grade food-contact compliance.
ACI builds fruit and vegetable packaging around these specific requirements, with coating selection by product chemistry, retort-engineered seam profiles, and substrate selection that preserves product appearance across long ambient shelf life.
