In the rapidly evolving global legal cannabis and high-end botanical markets, raw flower stands out as the ultimate expression of cultivar genetics, terpene integrity, and consumer preference. Preserving the delicate structure of high-value flower from cultivation to consumer is a critical industrial challenge. Premium flower is highly vulnerable to degradation caused by exposure to oxygen, light, and humidity fluctuations. When light penetrates packaging or air circulation goes uncontrolled, essential cannabinoids and volatile aromatic terpenes deteriorate. This degradation directly compromises the consumer experience and devalues the brand.
As a leading OEM Flower Packaging Manufacturer, CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co.,Ltd) develops advanced barrier solutions. Our metal packaging solutions provide a complete shield against UV light and oxygen transmission, while establishing a robust physical barrier that prevents delicate flower trichomes from being crushed. The transition from plastic bags and generic glass jars to customized, sustainable tinplate metal solutions is a crucial shift for brands aiming to position themselves at the premium end of the global marketplace.
By leveraging certified, food-grade tinplate construction, brands can ensure their flower maintains its optimal moisture content, flavor profile, and potency. Our custom OEM metal packaging provides unmatched structural integrity, which is essential for preserving the product's quality through long-distance shipping, distribution channels, and retail display handling.
CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co.,Ltd) is a streamlined, single-source professional supplier of child resistant tin boxes. We seamlessly integrate child resistant lock design, in-house mold making and prototyping, rigorous child resistant certification testing, and high-volume mass production. Our specialization is designed to meet the strict packaging and compliance demands of the modern cannabis, botanical flower, and pharmaceutical industries.
We began developing child resistant lock tin boxes in 2017. Following nine years of intensive research, development, and pioneering experience, we have successfully developed and certified over 70 unique child resistant lock tin configurations. These structures cover almost every tin packaging style in the industry, establishing our own proprietary child resistant lock system. This robust system allows us to offer our global clients unmatched variety, speed-to-market, and certified compliance guarantees.
The global cannabis flower and extracts market operates under a complex web of regional regulations. In North America, state and federal guidelines (such as the US CPSC Title 16 CFR Part 1700.20 and ASTM standards) mandate that all multi-use packaging containing active THC must be certified child-resistant. In Europe, strict packaging directives require childproofing alongside plastic reduction targets, pushing brands to seek sustainable, recyclable alternatives. Metal tinplate is uniquely positioned as a circular material; it is infinitely recyclable without losing its material properties, matching global consumer preferences for plastic-free packaging.
As a global OEM flower packaging manufacturer, CR Tin manages international compliance standards. We design our child-resistant tins to integrate seamlessly with high-speed automated packaging lines used by major licensed producers (LPs) and multi-state operators (MSOs). By standardizing tolerances, optimizing denesting features, and offering reliable hinge alignments, our tins minimize downtime on the packaging floor while delivering an exceptional experience for the end consumer.
All designs are evaluated using CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 protocols, ensuring childproof effectiveness while remaining accessible for seniors.
Our tinplate designs meet ASTM classification requirements for water resistance, airtightness, and structural longevity.
Tinplate is the gold standard for circular packaging. It is easily separated by magnetic sorting and infinitely recyclable.

In highly competitive retail environments like California, Nevada, or Colorado dispensaries, branding real estate is crucial. Metal tins provide flat, printable surfaces that allow for premium finishes like spot UV, embossing, and metallic inks, helping catch the consumer's eye.
In dry regions like Arizona or high-humidity areas like Florida, preserving product moisture is vital. Our tins feature food-grade gaskets that lock in moisture and volatile terpenes, preventing flower from drying out or absorbing outside humidity.
For consumers on the go, our sleek, pocket-sized pre-roll tins and mint cases provide durable protection. They prevent contents from breaking while maintaining compliance through secure, travel-safe locking mechanisms.
At CR Tin, we continuously research and develop new packaging technologies to help clients stay ahead of regulatory changes and shifting consumer expectations. Our technical roadmap focuses on three main pillars:
