Tinplate originated in Bohemia (in today's Czech Republic and Slovakia). The area has been rich in advanced metal technology since ancient times, and knows how to use water power to engage in machine manufacturing, and it has been producing tinplate since the 14th century. For a long period of time, this place has been the main producing area of tinplate in the world. At that time, tinplate was mainly used to make tableware and drinking utensils.
The development of tinplate industry was in the 17th century, Britain, France, and Sweden all hoped to establish their own tinplate industries, but they needed large amounts of funds. So it has not been developed. It was not until 1811 that Brian Donkin and John Hall opened tinplate canned food that tinplate manufacturing developed on a large scale. Today, the world produces about 250,000 tons of tin annually, and more than one third is used to make tinplate, most of which is used in the canned food industry.
A brief history of tinplate development 1810: The world's first tinplate can was invented and patented by the British.
