OEM Cartridge Metal Container Manufacturers & Supplier

Premium, ASTM-Certified Child-Resistant Tin Packaging Engineered for Global Compliance, Optimal Herb Protection, and Premium Brand Identity

Corporate Profile & Strategic Engineering

Setting the standard in high-end, child-resistant metal packaging. At CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co., Ltd), we unify design, safety compliance, and mass production under one centralized manufacturing workflow.

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 the global rise in localized regulations for child-resistant packaging, particularly in North America, Western Europe, and Oceania, our design and engineering team has proactively built a compliance-first manufacturing system. By selecting and certifying premium raw tinplate substrates and developing state-of-the-art push-button, slide-to-lock, and squeeze safety mechanisms, we help consumer brands bridge the gap between strict local legal requirements and premium shelf presentation.

Automated Production & Scale Efficiency

By using automated production lines, we ensure high quality across every production run. Our automatic stamping and assembly tools achieve tight tolerances, preventing lid alignment problems that often occur with manual assembly. This automated process means you get containers that work reliably and fit together perfectly.

Whether you are ordering 30,000 units or 1,000,000 units, we deliver consistent production speeds and on-time shipments. We also offer custom thermoformed plastic trays and eco-friendly paperboard inserts to secure your cartridges and keep them in place during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything procurement managers, brands, and designers need to know about our certifications, custom molding, sample runs, and production capabilities.

How do you verify your containers are child-resistant?
Our child-resistant metal containers are tested and verified to meet US CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 and ASTM D3475 standards. We work closely with leading third-party testing labs to run full panels with children and seniors, ensuring our opening mechanisms are secure but easy to open.
What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom tins?
For custom-printed and lithographed tin orders, our standard MOQ is 30,000 units. This lets us run our automated lithography presses and tooling lines efficiently. For standard, unprinted tins in stock, we can often accommodate smaller orders depending on current stock levels.
What is the timeline for custom molds, print plates, and bulk production?
Typically, custom molds and physical prototyping take 15 to 20 days. Once you approve the final pre-production samples, bulk manufacturing and printing take about 25 to 30 days. We also offer express shipping to help meet tight launch windows.
Can you manufacture airtight metal containers to keep herbs fresh?
Yes! We can add custom food-grade silicone, EPE, or neoprene gaskets to the tin lid rims. This forms a tight, hermetic seal that keeps air and moisture out, preserving the aroma, freshness, and quality of your contents.
Do you offer eco-friendly and food-safe custom inserts?
Absolutely. We offer various food-safe and biodegradable tray materials, including molded pulp, plant-based PLA, FSC-certified paperboard cards, and custom-cut EVA foam to securely cradle your product inside the outer tin shell.
What options do you have for custom printing and branding?
We offer premium lithographic printing in full CMYK and Pantone PMS colors. Brands can customize their look with gloss, matte, spot UV, or soft-touch coatings, as well as textured embossing and debossing to make their packaging stand out on the shelves.

Certified Child-Resistant Systems

We take child-resistant metal packaging seriously, developing designs that comply with international safety laws. Our tins are built from the ground up to prevent young children from opening them, while remaining easy for adults and seniors to use.

From initial sketch and 3D modeling to final production and logistics, our team is here to help you choose the right options for your product. We offer a wide range of styles, from airtight tins to premium, customized shapes designed to match your brand's unique look.
