Why Use Metal Tins For Cosmetic Packaging?

There are so many sustainable packaging options for the cosmetic industry. It can be hard to determine which material is best for your secondary packaging. Tin is a lightweight and malleable metal. Here are 7 key benefits to choosing tin packaging with Tinshine: 

 

1. Metallic Reflectivity Looks Luxury

 

High-end cosmetic and personal care products are often expensive. The metallic luster on the tin surface is the top reason to make tin packaging premium and luxurious. Combined with enormous print options and then decorated with Precise Embossing that makes the tin surface metal gradient and eye-catching. So metal tin is an ideal material to communicate a sense of luxury and value to consumers.

Then What Is Metallic Reflectivity?

Metallic reflectivity is the characteristic of metals that allows them to reflect light, giving them a shiny, polished appearance. This characteristic is often associated with luxury and high quality, as it gives metals a sleek, sophisticated look. Metallic reflectivity is achieved by the smooth, regular arrangement of atoms in the metal, which allows light to bounce off the surface of the metal in a uniform, consistent way. Different metals have different levels of reflectivity, with some metals, such as gold and silver, having a higher level of reflectivity than others, such as copper or zinc. This makes metallic reflectivity an important factor to consider when choosing metal tins for luxury products or packaging.
Metal finishes look luxury

2. Metal Tin is 100% Sustainable Packaging

Metal tins can be 100% recycled without losing the quality look and feel of their packs. The inherent property of metal makes tins a better choice than other secondary packaging materials. Recycling represents the environment. Using cosmetic tin means contributing to environmental protection. The company wants to move towards sustainable packaging. Recycled tins can be an excellent idea.
