Tins & Cannisters
Tins are an incredibly versatile form of packaging, they are not only strong and sturdy but also have a
multitude of applications and uses. They can be customised to any size from a tiny pill box to a biscuit tin.
Innovations are constantly emerging in the tin industry. There are new coatings that can be applied to the
inner surfaces, improving air resistance and helping to prevent rusting in the long term.
Why Tins?
Tins not only perform excellently on the shelf's edge but also can
offer helpful functions to the end user such as the tin platter above.
Including user friendly elements, like hinged lids not only increase the reusable potetntial of the tin but also keeps the branding exposed to the consumer for longer.
Shape
Tin and cannister shapes are totally customisable. They can be designed to suit various applications and machinery. The shape can also help when it comes to choosing lids and closures. For example in coffee cannisters, mushroom push in or screw top lids are very popular, however other options could include standard dimpled lids, zips flush and hinged lids.
Finish
Finishes include gold, silver or high quality printed colours.
Effects such as embossing, 3D
embossing, debossing and spot
gloss add unique features to tins.
Novelty tins can become a collectors item and as with all
tins last long enough to be re-used again and again.
