Currently stocking a range of tinplate thicknesses between 0.16mm to 0.24mm.

The reason why our customers select tin cans in their packaging is that they are stronger than cartons or plastic, and less fragile than glass, protecting the product in transit and preventing leakage or spillage. Tin cans offer a barrier protection against light, water, air and contamination, safeguarding flavour, appearance and quality from factory to the final consumer. Packaging in tin cans also extends the product’s shelf life, allowing longer sell-by and use-by dates and reducing waste. Tinplate is made of steel, coated with a layer of tin through a process of electroplating fortifying it against rust and most importantly fully recyclable.
