5 Liter Cheese and Butter Tin Pails DA

5 Liter Cheese and Butter Tin Pails DA

5 Liter Cheese and Butter Tin Pails DA are a family of metal containers for dairy products such as cheese, cream and clarified butter. Kontensan offers this product under Cheese, Butter Tin Cans, and Pails within Food Tin & Metal Packaging. Dairy manufacturers looking for five-liter packaging can choose between different openings and closing systems. When selecting an empty cheese tin, buyers should consider more than volume. Product composition, filling equipment and food-contact coating suitability are equally important.

Which Products Can an Empty Cheese Tin Hold?

An empty cheese tin can be considered for packing white cheese and other dairy foods. The DA mold family also lists versions for cream, clarified butter and yogurt. However, these versions do not all use the same lid or internal coating. Salt content in cheese brine, the properties of cream and fats, filling temperature and storage conditions affect coating selection. Buyers comparing empty white cheese tin containers should therefore check that the technical specifications are equivalent.

Technical Features of the 5 Liter Dairy Tin

The DA mold datasheet lists a diameter and length of 158 mm, with a capacity range from 0.9 to 6.8 liters. The general 38 mm reference height is not the final size of the five-liter versions. The K106 and L106 five-liter cheese tins are 200 mm high, while the L044 cream and clarified butter tin is 218 mm high. These examples use 0.24 mm sheet metal, gold lacquer inside and outside, and seamed bodies. The DA family also offers metal thicknesses of 0.24, 0.25 and 0.28 mm. Seam treatment, opening and lid design depend on the selected version.

Lid and Printing Options for Dairy Packaging

The K106 cheese version has an easy-open aluminum lid, while L106 uses a lacquered 90 mm metal plug. The L044 cream and clarified butter tin has a 39 mm metal plug and a plastic handle. The mold family also includes other lid diameters, lacquer finishes and exterior offset printing. These options are not all standard on every five-liter tin can. For printed packaging, the final artwork and food-contact coating should be checked together.

How to Choose Wholesale Empty Cheese Tins

Before ordering wholesale empty cheese tins, manufacturers should confirm the intended food, the specific five-liter version, metal thickness, opening system and internal lacquer. When choosing a supplier of tin cans for dairy products, sample filling and lid compatibility are as important as price. Kontensan has produced metal packaging since 1980 and offers several configurations for dairy products. The final choice should be based on actual food-contact and transport requirements.
