Explore our top certified child-resistant metal packaging engineered for maximum shelf appeal, child safety, and terpene preservation.
CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co.,Ltd) is a streamlined, single-source professional supplier of child resistant tin boxes, integrating child resistant lock design, mold making and sampling, child resistant lock testing, and mass production. CR Tin began developing child resistant lock tin boxes in 2017. After nine years of research and development and pioneering experience, we have over 70 certified child resistant lock tin boxes, covering all tin box packaging styles in the industry, and have established our own unique child resistant lock tin box system.
With an unwavering focus on the North American and European cannabis markets, we specialize in high-end compliant packaging for dry cannabis flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, infused gummies, and pharmaceutical mints. Our solutions merge physical child deterrence with high-barrier protection to keep products fresh and brands compliant.
Cannabis flower is highly vulnerable to degradation. Our technological approach focuses on three core degradation vectors: oxidation, moisture loss, and UV exposure.
Terpenes are volatile organic compounds. Standard tin packaging leaks air, resulting in dry, odorless flower. Our Airtight CR Tins feature custom FDA-grade silicone/TPU gaskets that construct a perfect hermetic seal, locking in humidity and preserving cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
Every packaging design undergoes rigorous validation to align with ASTM D3475 and US CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20. We utilize sophisticated mechanisms—such as two-button squeeze releases, push-and-slide lids, and hidden mechanical latches that prevent access by children under five years old while remaining highly senior-friendly.
Unlike single-use plastics which are facing intensive legislative bans and consumer backlash, our tinplate products are 100% infinitely recyclable without quality degradation. Steel is the world's most recycled material, supporting your brand's ESG initiatives and fulfilling state/national packaging guidelines.
We turn concept drawings into certified, shelf-ready luxury packaging using advanced design and manufacturing platforms.
Our facility leverages advanced lean manufacturing to keep production efficient, consistent, and cost-effective for global shipping.

Answers to key regulatory, production, and procurement questions for global operations directors.
Yes. Our designs are engineered and tested to meet the US CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 and ASTM D3475 standards. We provide certification documents from third-party US labs to help you confirm local compliance during facility and retail audits.
Our tins feature a robust gas-barrier layer. In contrast to plastic containers, which can absorb volatile terpenes over time, electrolytic tinplate is inert. When fitted with an airtight gasket, our containers block oxygen and moisture transfer, helping to maintain flower structure, preserve scent, and prevent drying.
Our in-house design and tooling shop can build custom molds, run structural tests, and complete pre-production runs within 30 days. Once the mold is approved, mass production typically takes 25 to 35 days, depending on the volume and finish specifications.
We provide a range of decorative processes, including CMYK lithography, PMS spot colors, glossy/matte finishes, metallic inks, embossing, debossing, and localized spot-UV coatings. All inks used are food-safe and formulated to resist cracking at the edges of the tin.
Our diverse range of certified child-resistant tins provides reliable protection for mints, pre-rolls, and concentrate products.
