Screw-Top Aluminum Tins
When a threaded closure is worth the extra cost — and when it is not.
A screw-top lid is chosen when a resealable, threaded closure matters for the product, and when the lid must be opened and closed more than once. Choose the lid by container opening diameter first, then by lid height, and confirm the fit with a sample on the actual container. Do not assume a lid fits a particular box only because the diameters look close.
- Suits liquids and anything shipped by air
- Needs a thicker wall than a slip lid
- Liner options for food and cosmetic contact
