Thats right!
Most people use the Glass Mason Jars, I wasn't sure there was/were things available for Steel Canning but there is. The rest of the processes is the same as you would Canning Mason Jars.
It also came up in other forums, Someone wanted to ship them.
Shipping Glass Jars is not a problem, But can be a Hassle in Packing because their needs to be extra protection in packing to protect the Jars. Its still not 100% protected. A Steel can would protect from that, also with no light transmission through the Container. Its Nutritional content will last longer.

You may want to explore some of the LDS (Mormon) sites. They do a lot of prep work and in a lot of locations they have a canning center to stock up on food. You take your product in and pay them for the cans and use of the equipment. You gotta admire their tennant of having a years worth of food stocked up.
