Fabulous Products. Amazing Tin.

We’ve worked with amazing clients and products in just about every industry and sector you care to name. In fact, there’s a very good chance you’ve already held one of our products in your hands. You just didn’t realise we made it.

We produce innovative, creative and award-winning packaging, but just as importantly, delivering on time and to the highest possible standards. We love taking on new challenges in order to test our experience and technical expertise, so we can stay at the forefront of the industry.

We want to give delight to anyone who picks up a tin product. It’s that love that makes us go the extra mile, to deliver something elegant or charming, a tactile product where you think: well, that’s a bit clever! That means not only do your products feel special and get noticed, but you do too.

You can visit us at our office and showroom near Malmesbury, Wiltshire, and we have a factory in Trowbridge that offers our contract packaging service. Our technical and quality control team is well placed to guarantee the best print and production quality, enabling us to create the tin packaging you need at a competitive price and bang on time.

Our manufacturing facilities are located in China, where our products are produced to internationally recognised quality certification standards. They also have to pass meticulous ethical and technical assessments on a regular basis.

We’re always looking how to get the best out of things, to take your designs and recommend the best possible ways to express aspects like colours and embossing, ensuring your tin has real stand out appeal in today’s crowded shelf space.

One of the most crucial things for our clients, in addition to having a brilliantly packaged product, is having that product in the right place at the right time. So we ensure prompt delivery for your products and peace of mind for you.

We use tamper seals where we need to, laser jet best before dates if required and make sure to keep your packaging intact throughout. After all, we were part of the packaging design ourselves so we know how much it means to you. It’s an extra service we love to do, and we genuinely relish moments such as those refined tea tins leaving our facility, ready to be opened by delighted tea-drinkers at home.

Packaging and packing all under one roof.

As well as our bespoke product packaging, we hold a wide range of silver tins and metal boxes in UK stock.

These are brilliant for those working to a tight schedule, or who require smaller quantities.

Stock Tins.

Our own contract packing facility enables us to offer packaging and packing all under one roof. That means we’re able to help with your tin products and packaging all the way through the project should you need to outsource this part of the process.Our range of stock tins benefit from a minimal lead

time and a low minimum order quantity and still remain highly customisable. We are able to offer screen printing and embossing on the lids of the tins for logos, pictures or a phrase. The print and embossing can be applied separately, or combined to create a stunning raised effect.

We can also offer labels, either for lids or to wrap around the body of a tin. These are a great choice to add colour or different artworks across a single order of tins.

We are also able to supply foam inserts to ensure that your product sits inside a stock tin to display the contents in a smart, professional way, with a perfect fit and extra security.

“The iconic ‘The Righteous Butter’ had run its course in rigid card packaging and it was time to give it a makeover. Within a couple of weeks the prototype was complete, this really helped to bring the product to life without the dated old-style packaging, and the icing on the cake was the cost! When comparing the new tin with the old rigid card there was no hesitation; Boots made the transition to tin packaging and improved their margin, the tin continues to repeat year after year.”
