Drawn and (Wall) Ironed Cans

I think the English equivalent would be DWI (Drawn and Wall Ironed), while in Japanese it is usually used the word DI (Drawn and Ironed). Not an expert in the field of cans making but I will attach the link of the web site where you can find more info if you need to. Hope this helps.

DI Can Surface Printing

Shouldn't it be DWI, rather than DI?

缶体 is can-body in the description of "surface printing" on the Toyo link page below. I would write it "can body" with no hyphen.

DI cans are "curved" so I think the following method applies:

(2) Curved Surface Printing
After forming the can-body, printing on the exterior surface of the 2-piece cans (DWI and TULC cans) is conducted one by one using a curved surface printing machine. Each color of ink is placed on a different (plastic letterpress) plate, and then sequentially transferred to a single rubber blanket (a rubber surface to re-transfer an inked image to a can), allowing all colors to be printed at a time. After printing and just before the ink curing process, an over varnish is applied.
The line control system manages automatically production consistency, from can forming to finishing, including printing and coating.
