Custom Printed Tins

In 1991, in accordance with our goal to achieve the highest quality flat sheet, metal lithography, we took the step of becoming our own printer.  We quickly became an award-winning,  global leader.  Our investments in the latest technology assure maximum visual quality and shelf appeal for our products.  Customers’ projects are within our control from design to delivery.

All of our custom printed tins, metal signs and other products begin with a flat sheet of steel that is printed in “high definition”, up to 250 line screen detail. 

Our metal decorating facility, constructed to exceed EPA requirements, has a “building within a building” in our Belcamp, MD operation.  It houses our Metal Star 2 six color printing line with in-line UV trail coater, and a second Metal Star 2 with four color capability.  These presses enable us to print more efficiently and with near-photographic quality.

Our fully integrated Prepress and Art Department uses the latest Kodak Proofing System and Trendsetter CTP plate making system.  This equipment makes it possible for our in-house creative team to not only supply art services but also take a design from computer concept to plate.

Specifically developed metal decorating technology combined with experienced and highly trained pressmen assure a uniquely high level of consistently repeatable print quality. Precise, continuous grip registration and hands-on QA during the printing process ensures the desired outcome.

What this means to our customers – the color, clarity, definition and finish will meet or exceed expectations. The result will be superior look, feel and durability when compared with not only digitally printed substitutes, but with lithographed tins from national and global competitors.
