Uses and Benefits

Metal tins are commonly used to package personal care, cannabis, and food products.

Personal Care

Metal tins are a popular choice for packaging powders, creams, balms, and solids in the personal care industry. Both tin and aluminum version are used: tin is more durable and offers modern aesthetics (most suitable for powder and solid products), while aluminum is more corrosion-resistant (suitable for cream products or moisture-rich environments).

The CR closures available on tin boxes and aluminum jars offer an extra layer of protection against accidental misuse.

Their large printable surface also makes them a strong branding canvas.

02

Are metal tins recyclable?

What is the difference between tin and aluminum jars?

Tin and aluminum jars differ mainly in durability and corrosion resistance.
