Tin boxes are an exquisite and stylish type of packaging, synonymous of a premium quality that showcase and boost brand identity. Our metal packaging is also sustainable, free from pollutants and fully recyclable. Tin boxes are ideal for showcasing products from various merchandise categories such as: biscuits, herbal teas, chocolates, liqueurs and spirits, cosmetics, perfumes or after-shave, publishing products, toys and various accessories.
Tin boxes show good resistance to corrosion and rust, so they will not rust when stored away from heat sources and when not exposed to direct sunlight. Oxidation reactions will only occur if the tinplate surface layer is damaged.
Tin boxes are a 100% recyclable and eco-sustainable. Our tin boxes are free of pollutants (lead and chromium free), use sustainable inks and paints, that are food-grade and BPA free. Finally, they are made from European origin raw materials, they are durable and reusable.
Our company gives primary importance to this principle and recycles 100% of the production waste by sending it to a company specialised in melting and reusing tinplate, which we then use in the production of new metal packaging.
Out tin boxes are food-grade containers suitable for all types of products. This aspect is guaranteed by our compliance with BRC Certification requirements, the strictest food safety regulation. In particular, our tin boxes are free of pollutants (lead free), decorated with sustainable inks and paints, they are food-grade and BPA free. You can download the BRC Certificate from this page.
Our metal packaging is fully customisable. Given the comprehensive 100% control over the entire product development process, we can share an exclusive pathway with the customer, creating something totally unique from the initial design stage through to the subsequent customisation and production phases of the entire tin box orders.
Our tin boxes are food-grade products, so they can also be used for pandoro and panettoni cakes. It is essential to define the appearance of the container rather than the content. For the food industry, we have already developed a wide range of tin boxes in various sizes and shapes (oval, rectangular, square) to store biscuits, chocolates, herbal teas. The most suitable models for bakery products such as pandoro and panettoni are the round tins, square tins and rectangular tins. Customised embossed lids are highly popular in this sector.
Our tin box production chain is 100% Made in Italy. The tin box manufacturing is carried out exclusively at our plant facility in Bottanuco, in the province of Bergamo, about 40 km from Milan.
Out tin boxes are customised to meet individual customer requirements. In our Research and Development department, in fact, we create “AD-HOC” moulds based on the specific requirements of each individual customer. Compared to the manufacturing and delivery of the standard catalogue tin products however, this particular processing requires much more time and annual supply quantities for a minimum of 300,000 pieces.
We have a wide range of tin packaging available in our standard catalogue, which come in a variety of sizes and shapes (oval, rectangular, square), in addition to a range of height and customisation options.
Our products, however, are not available in stock and ready to despatch, and are manufactured to satisfy each specific customer order. Customers can therefore rely on receiving their supply of bespoke tin boxes in the desired manner and with swift deliveries, starting from around 6 weeks.
We comply with BRC Certification in relation to our tin boxes, and metal food-grade packaging produced at our plant facility. This is the strictest regulation for food-grade products and guarantees conformity and quality throughout the entire supply chain, starting from the raw material used to manufacture and customise the packaging through to the shaping of the finished product. It also certifies our compliance with food-grade “Secondary Packaging” requirements. More generally, Italtin has obtained ISO 9001 certification: this provides evidence that the company’s quality management system meets the required standard of excellence, guaranteeing the qualitative value of the manufactured tin packaging.
