Manufactured in London using Solar Power. Lever lid tins are cans that you have to lever the lid off to open. Lever lid cans have a virtually air tight lid fit, extending product life while being capable of holding liquids. They come in a wide range of diameters, with custom heights variable to your specification. We offer both seamed and welded lever lid cans. Commonly used for paints, adhesives, coatings, candles, confectionary and promotional uses. We can print, emboss, label & pack these tins too. Metal Recycles Forever.
Sold through P. Wilkinson ContainersManufactured in London using Solar Power. Slip lid tins are cans that have a lid that slips on and off. Slip lid tins are easy to open and close time and again, and are ideal for any non-liquid product that doesn’t require the can to have an air tight seal. They come in a wide range of diameters, with custom heights variable to your specification. Commonly used for candles, cookies, wafers, tea, sweets & industrial applications. With printing and embossing available even on small runs, these tins are ideal for many products, big and small. We can print, emboss, label & pack these tins too. Metal Recycles Forever.
Sold through P. Wilkinson ContainersManufactured in London using Solar Power. Seamless boxes are cans that have a base made from a single piece of pressed metal, as so there are no joining ‘seams’. They come in a wide choice of sizes, but heights cannot be adjusted without new tooling. Seamless boxes are shallow, which makes them ideal for certain products. Commonly used for wax, polish, flux, seedballs, chocolate & promotional products. We can print, emboss, label & pack these tins too. Metal Recycles Forever.
Sold through P. Wilkinson ContainersManufactured in London using Solar Power. Ring pull tins that have a metal ring joined to a rip-off end, and once opened they require plastic overcaps to reseal (optional). Ring pull tins provide the best seal and tamper proofing, and are ideal for single use products or promotional items. One end (normally the top) is supplied seamed on, and the other end is supplied separately, ready for filling (which we can help with also for some promotional items). We can print, emboss, label & pack these tins. Metal Recycles Forever.
Sold through P. Wilkinson ContainersOur screw top tins provide a green solution to packaging most viscosities of liquids, granules or powder. The screw or dome top minimises any product waste as well as giving a point of difference in a retail environment. We can print, emboss, label & pack these tins. Metal Recycles Forever.
Sold through P. Wilkinson ContainersManufactured in London using Solar Power. Outside curl tins (invented by us) have the top lip of the tin curled outside the tin. Outside curl tins use a tight fitting plug lid, which gives an extension to product life in many cases (compared to lever lid tins), though the lid must be removed with a tool such as a pallet knife or screwdriver. Commonly used for inks, adhesives, waxes, solvent based products and other industrial applications. We can print, emboss, label & pack these tins too. Metal Recycles Forever.

Welcome to the metal revolution. Metal is now recognised as being the greenest substrate, for both packaging and products alike.
This message is now slowly filtering down to the real decision makers – your customers, the high street consumers.
The materials we use are listed on the Periodic Table and, as a result, unlike all other forms of packaging, Metal Recycles Forever without any loss of material, quality or performance.
Our family business avoids the need to transport empty tins around the planet, while supporting local families. We also are proud to support ethical, safety and wage standards of the developed world. No fingers were lost in the making of our tins.
Every time metal flows through its closed recycling loop, it becomes more carbon efficient unlike other options. Metal is a clear choice for those that care about any long term environmental impact.
Here are the facts that only metal can boast. Avoid confusion around recycling by looking at the true recycling rates of each material. By this we mean the % of what is ACTUALLY RECYCLED, not the % of what is collected.
Metal is not just a packaging material, you might find your recycled metal tin upcycle into your next car, smartphone, house or maybe another Tin Can.
