In the food sector, canned food production companies mainly use various cans. Cans are an indispensable packaging option for the enterprises because they do not pass the light, they protect the foodstuffs intact, they can be stored and transported easily, they are resistant to impacts and they can store the product inside for a long time without losing its property. The companies that produce tin cans give importance to the preservation of nature and human health, and the production of tinned cans which can be taken back from nature among the packaging materials and returned to nature after being used. Cans are subjected to the necessary tests and controls in all manufacturing processes from design to final shape.

The first tin cans were made in Bavaria in the early fourteenth century. However, this coating technology has been kept secret for centuries. This technique was stolen in the nineteenth century and later developed throughout Europe, especially in France and England. While this technique was applied in America, iron was replaced by steel and the quality and production of boxes started to increase. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, when Napoleon promised a monetary award to the soldiers to find a way to protect their food, the idea of ​​putting food into the metal packaging for the first time came to the fore. At that time, a cylindrical tin can was discovered in Paris, and it was stored for a long time after the food was sterilized.

The first printed box in the history of metal packaging was made in the year 1866 in America. These boxes entered the market in 1910. The first aluminum canisters were introduced in 1959.

Today, clamp control and pressure control are strictly applied tests for canned foods which are widely used in food industry. In the pressure tests, the can is subjected to a certain atmospheric pressure in the water and the box is tested for leaks.

In the advanced laboratories, box sealing tests are carried out in canned boxes within the scope of packaging analysis.
