Sauces, Pastes & Condiments
Tinplate packaging engineered for the acidity, viscosity, and hot-fill demands of sauces, pastes, and condiments. Designed for corrosion resistance, seam integrity under thermal stress, and shelf-stable performance across tomato, chili, condiment, and marinade applications.
Acidic and Viscous, By Design
Sauces and pastes are among the most chemically aggressive categories in food packaging. Tomato-based products demand corrosion resistance against organic acids. Concentrated pastes require coatings that hold under hot-fill and retort cycles. Viscous fillings demand seam integrity at high filling temperatures.
ACI builds sauce and condiment packaging around these specific requirements, with gold-lacquered systems for acid-sensitive products and reinforced seam profiles for high-viscosity filling lines.
