Tin packaging is a reliably secure solution for shipping products around the world. It's an attractive way to make a brand shine. When designing tins, it's important to consider the way they open, such as with twist-off lids. Here are advantages to choosing screw-top tins for product packaging or promotional items.
Easy Removal
There are various lids to choose from for tins, but screw-top lids are the most universal. They allow for easy opening as well as tight closing due to their seal. For awhile manufacturers turned to tamper-free lids to avoid theft within a retail store. Now many retail stores keep cosmetics, drugs and personal care products locked in glass cases to avoid theft.
It's important that consumers aren't confused about how to open a tin container, whether it comes with a screw-top, a hinged top or some other design. If it's too difficult to open, the consumer might assume the manufacturer doesn't care about the customer experience. On the other hand, many people know all it usually takes is a rubber glove to open a hard-to-open small container. For tins with large diameters, running them under hot water can loosen a tight lid.
Lids Contribute to Security and Aesthetics
Screw-top tins are designed to be secure enough to provide an air-tight barrier between the contents and the outer world. Consumers understand how tin has a long shelf life and then an even longer life in people's homes. The reason tin is a popular collectible material is its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion, as well as its reflective sparkle. The choice of lids for tins matters because it helps define the perceptions of security and aesthetics.
Nice looking lids are those that match the color of the container or contrast it in an artistic captivating way. White or black screw-top lids blend with any container color. Silver is another universal color that is often used for the container. The packaging designer should choose colors that help enhance the brand logo and create a certain emotional atmosphere that corresponds with the product.
Popularity of Round Tins
Round tins are popular because curves naturally look more artistic than square-shaped containers. They go well with fun foods such as candies. An advantage to round tins is they automatically require screw-top lids, which are the most common type of tin lids. Other advantages for round screw-top lids are their light weight and low cost.
The problem with a lot of conventional paper, cardboard or plastic packaging is that it's made to be disposable. Consequently, much of it ends up in landfills or sometimes as litter on the ground. Since tins can be reused for many years, they are more sustainable. Round tins are perhaps the most sustainable shape because they potentially add ambiance to a room, making them indispensable.
Conclusion
Manufacturers can boost customer satisfaction with screw-top tins for a wide variety of products or promotional items. Usually the larger the tin, the less people want to part with it and the more they prefer to reuse it for their own personal needs. Tins have power in attracting attention at stores and providing customized utility as storage. It's a packaging solution that commands long-term legitimacy, which is ideal for any brand.
