Tin containers are compact metal boxes designed for storing and distributing goods. Think for instance about cosmetics, candles, food, or even medicine. The tin itself is crafted out of a thin metal, which is usually iron or aluminum. Although not always, these small metal cans often feature a tin plating. They can be found in any form, size, and color. These packaging materials are mostly applied in the food and cosmetics industry.

Besides their dominant presence in the above-named industries, they are often used for personal storage purposes. Especially the older tins that have a nostalgic value can often be found in people’s living rooms or kitchens where they function as decoration. Still today, decorated tin boxes are being sold during the holiday season. These beautiful small tin containers with lids are a popular gift as they are often filled with chocolate or cookies. One famous example of such custom-made can is the one from Denmark’s butter cookies. The smaller types of these decorated tins are often reused by people to store their personal items. For some people, collecting rare cans has even grown out to be a hobby.

Although people often use the term ‘’Tin Container’’, almost no cans produced up to date are composed only out of tin. The reason that people call these small metal containers "Tin Cans" dates back the second half of the 20th century. During this time, cans were made out of tinplate steel. This was done to combine the corrosion resistant feature of tin with the low price and strength of stainless steel. Nowadays, these cans are often crafted out of different substances such as aluminium. All the tins found in our webshop are made out of high-grade aluminium. Traditional metal cans crafted out of stainless steel that come with a plating are available on request.

For those of you who wish to buy traditional tin cans, we offer a large selection of tin-plated metal cans for sale. Although all cans listed in our online shop are crafted out of aluminum, each model can also be delivered in a plated iron version. All these empty cans have been crafted out of high-end iron that has been finished off with a thin plating. Thanks to this, the can has a tough and durable design. At the same time, they won’t suffer from rusting. Each container is 100% food-safe. They can be used for storing dry and wet foods alike. Generally speaking, traditional cans are heavier in weight compared to other cans. Added to that, they are also more costly. Despite this, traditional cans are popular in certain industries thanks to their strength.

As its name suggests are aluminum tins crafted out of lightweight aluminium rather than plated steel. This lightweight material started to replace the traditional can packaging in the late 1950’s. The popularity of these affordable lightweight tin boxes rose especially thanks to the fact that they are less costly to produce. At the same time, they offer the same resistance to corrosion while being easier to form. The latter resulted in an easier and less time-consuming manufacturing process. Thanks to this, these tin cans are now stamped out of a single thin sheet.

Tin boxes made out of this material are affordable, lightweight, and do not rust. Besides that, they bring along another great advantage. Because they are easy to form and shape, they offer great customization possibilities. Thanks to this, people are able to fully design their own personalized tins. Just like our metal containers, all aluminum tins in our webshop are of 100% food-safe and furthermore come equipped with an EPE liner.
