Application
Aluminum Tins for Cosmetics
Balm, salve and solid-perfume packaging that fits your filling line.
Cosmetic tins are chosen by fill first, then by tin size, lid fit, and finish. A balm, salve, or solid perfume needs a tin that can be filled cleanly, closed securely, and labeled clearly, so confirm the size, lid, and finish with a sample before bulk production. The sample should be checked against the actual fill, not against a size name alone.
- Screw-top and slip-lid options
- Food-grade and cosmetic-grade linings
- Print that holds across a full run
