The MOQ of tin can printing is 1500 pieces.
After finishing printing, they will be cut into patches line by line.

If you place an order for a can with printing that it is not enough for one line or more than one line, you may have to adjust the quantity.
If the number of orders placed is not enough for the number of cans for all the sheets, you have to wait for other cans of the same diameter to print and produce together.
Time is unforeseeable, so many customers are directly order the whole package of large iron to save delivery time!
