Custom tin materials, including tinplate, aluminum, stainless steel, and eco-friendly alternatives, offer various advantages and disadvantages for manufacturers.
Tinplate is widely used for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to retain intricate patterns but is heavier than aluminum, more prone to denting, and has a higher environmental impact.
Aluminum custom tins are lightweight, resistant to rust, and offer modern designs but are more expensive, less rigid, and energy-intensive to produce.
Stainless steel custom tins provide durability and a high-end aesthetic but are costly, heavy, and have limited design options compared to other materials.
Eco-friendly custom tins made from recycled materials appeal to sustainability-conscious brands but can be expensive and limited by regional recycling infrastructure.
