Foil, trays, tubes and, of course, tins. Aluminium is used as packaging material in many forms and one of the most popular form is the tin. The team at The Box builds custom and stock metal solutions that are strong and sustainable, among numerous other benefits.

Brands may wonder... why opt for aluminium packaging in the first place? Allow the team at The Box to explain!

Aluminium Packaging is Airtight and Moisture-proof

There is a variety of reasons why aluminium packaging could be an excellent option for you and your brand. First of all, metal seals excellently. The product you are packing will be packaged airtight and moisture-proof in a top-class aluminium tin that comes with a screw lid.

This feature means aluminium packaging is extremely suitable for packaging food, as well as cosmetics. It guarantees shelf life and, in some cases, even extends it. For instance, peppermints keep their bite for longer, and blush powder stays nice and soft in its aluminium tin.

Strong and Sustainable Aluminium Packaging

Aluminium packaging is lightweight but strong, which, as well as making it long-lasting, also means that it requires minimal, or even no, secondary packaging. This is beneficial when it comes to transport and also makes it more sustainable.

Because metal is so strong, aluminium packaging lasts for ages, meaning less need to replace product and use more virgin resources.

Highly Recyclable Aluminium Packaging

Aluminium packaging isn't only more sustainable due to its strength. It is also favourable from a recycling point of view. The material is extremely suitable for recycling and retains its quality at all times. The quality never suffers, even after being recycled many times.

Incidentally, this is almost always true in the case of tin packaging. Both producers and consumers see sustainability as an important prerequisite when it comes to packaging material. And if this is what you're after, you're on the right track with an aluminium tin!

Promotional Value

In a sea of plastic, aluminium packaging stands out and leaves its mark on consumers' minds- giving it enormous promotional value.

At The Box, you can have aluminium cans printed with a logo or message. Since this material remains looking good and strong for ages, whoever receives it will almost always hold onto it for many years to come. Especially you chose to have it beautifully embossed.

This means your logo or message will catch the eye long after it has been received. An aluminium tin could be used as a giveaway at a trade fair or other event. Brands use our stock and custom solutions to package peppermints, sweets, or herbs and spices. The possibilities are endless!

Aluminium packaging has numerous benefits that will elevate your food, beverage, or cosmetics brand. It seals excellently to lock out air and moisture, which makes it perfect for packing food, as well as herbs and spices or cosmetics. The material is strong, durable, and sustainable and has enormous promotional value.
