Tin Packaging a Historical Perspective

Although metal containers have been in use since men started mining, large-scale use began with the Industrial Revolution when mass production became possible. Tin was initially used to create canned goods for the British Royal Navy. Later, stainless steel was used, with a tin coating or as a more complex alloy. Aluminum also became a prominent packaging material starting in the late 1950s. All of these materials offered several advantages, with material choice becoming a question of usage.

Today, the word “tin” has become synonymous with the packaging itself, though the material may actually be something else.

Tins are used mainly in the food and Pharma industry where barriers are extremely important. They also provide safety, durability and convenience, which have made them the choice for packaging coffee powder, milk powder, baby formula, spice powders, nutritional supplements and much more.

All such products contain high quality ingredients. Keeping them fresh and preserving, their full nutritional benefit is vital. Hermetic tin packaging keeps out air, moisture, contaminants and light, adding to the shelf life of the products. They are 100% recyclable so they are popular with consumers who are both health-conscious and environmentally conscious.
