Video transcript

1. 0:00A tin is two decisions, not one.
2. 0:05A tin is mostly steel with a thin tin coating. Decide how the body is built and how it closes, separately, so quotes stay comparable.
3. 0:16Two-piece bodies press from one blank: seamless but shallow, and wall art stretches. Three-piece bodies roll a printed sheet: taller, wider print, plus a seam dead zone.
4. 0:28Match the closure to how often it opens. Hinged lids stay attached; slip-lids are simple but get lost; screw-tops reclose firmly but are round only.
5. 0:39Moisture and aroma pass the lid joint, so put a sealed pouch inside. Plan art around edges, hinges and seams, and put the logo on the lid top.
6. 0:50If hinged fits your shortlist, we make custom hinged tins.
7. 0:55Send your product and fill quantity; we'll recommend and quote.
