Tin Product Testing: Introduction
If you need tins for your product, you may not be sure exactly what size you need or want. The product descriptions in Container & Packaging Supply's catalog have measurements, but maybe you can't quite visualize exactly how big or small a ¼ oz. flat silver tin is with a height of 0.557 inches high and a diameter of 1.324 inches. Will the 1 oz. flat silver tin work better for your organic coconut oil lip-gloss, or will the 1 oz. deep silver tin be easier to use? We offer free samples of our products, but having a general idea of the size of a product may be helpful when you plan your order of tins.
As a solution to this, we are going to run some product tests using the actual products that we sell and common household products. Exactly how many M&Ms ® (peanut or plain) can you cram into that ¼ oz. flat silver tin? Will we be able to mush a whole stick of butter into the 4 oz. flat gold tin or into the 4 oz. deep silver tin? And once that butter is in the two different tins, which one is easier to get the butter out of? None of these tests will be scientific or worthy of publication in professional journals of containers (do those even exist?), but with any luck, they will benefit someone out there.
The next few articles will explore the actual sizes of our tins; hopefully these tests will help you have a better idea of which product will best fit your needs.
