When it comes to packaging for tea, cookies, coffee, or confectionery, safety isn't just important—it's essential. At Tinpak, we believe that every food-grade tin should meet a clear and measurable set of standards to ensure it protects both your product and your brand reputation.

So, what exactly makes a tin food-safe? Let’s break it down:

1. Raw Materials That Meet Food Contact Standards

It all starts with the material. We use tinplate that complies with internationally recognized food contact regulations. This ensures the base metal does not react with the food or release any harmful substances.

2. Certified Coatings and Inks

The inside of every food-grade tin is lined with a food-safe internal coating that prevents rust and keeps the contents from direct contact with the metal. For the exterior, we use low-VOC, eco-friendly inks and varnishes that meet safety and sustainability standards.

3. Airtight Construction for Freshness

A proper food tin should not only look good—it should also protect the contents from moisture, air, and light. Our tins are engineered for tight-fitting lids (including options like inner lids or plug-in caps) to extend product shelf life and preserve aroma and texture.

4. Smooth Edges and Seam Integrity

A minor detail that makes a major difference: all our tins are finished with smooth seams and burr-free edges, ensuring they are safe to handle and do not pose a contamination risk.

5. Controlled Production Environment

Our manufacturing processes are managed under strict quality control protocols. Every production line is monitored by dedicated QC staff to inspect key aspects such as coating uniformity, sealing tightness, and surface cleanliness.

6. Compliance with Global Standards

Tinpak is certified under BRC for Global Food Packaging and ISO 14001 Quality Management. These certifications are more than just badges—they represent our ongoing commitment to traceability, consistency, and accountability.

Conclusion

A food-grade tin is more than just a container—it's a promise of protection, quality, and trust. At Tinpak, we make sure that every tin we produce lives up to that promise, from raw materials to the final product that reaches your hands.
