Explore our top-tier ASTM certified metal packaging designs, engineered for aroma locking, structural durability, and maximum brand shelf presence.
In the rapidly maturing global pre-roll and joint market, packaging has evolved from a basic container into a critical point of compliance, freshness conservation, and brand authority. Consumers and regulatory bodies demand child-resistant properties, childproof certification, and robust freshness preservation.
Standard packaging materials like cardboard or single-use plastics fall short in modern supply chains. They succumb to crushing, fail to maintain terpene-rich microclimates, and generate massive waste. OEM metal packaging (tinplate) has emerged as the definitive premium standard. Steel-based construction combined with custom-engineered safety mechanisms ensures compliance with 16 CFR Part 1700.20 child safety protocols while delivering high aesthetic value.
Procurement teams at enterprise-level dispensaries, multi-state operators (MSOs), and legal pre-roll distributors navigate strict quality metrics. Key challenges include structural tolerance, airtight seal retention, chemical-free lacquers, and scalable manufacturing lead times. By integrating custom mold engineering with rapid prototyping, our factory ensures seamless compatibility with high-speed automatic filling lines, minimizing packaging waste and maximizing shelf velocity.
CR Tin 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.
Our capabilities extend from engineering specialized internal airtight seals to applying food-safe interior coatings that comply with FDA and EFSA regulations. We empower premium brands to safeguard their formulation integrity while meeting the most stringent consumer safety guidelines.
A proven track record of bringing regulatory compliance, scalability, and structural performance to global metal packaging markets.
Providing high-end metal packaging solutions for the North American and European markets through strict quality standards and optimized cost pathways.
With a strong design and R&D presence, we facilitate rapid prototyping to turn concepts into certified solutions:
High-quality packaging doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive. We apply strategic cost controls at every manufacturing step:
Defect-free locking mechanisms and airtight preservation require strict factory inspection rules:

The strategic directions our engineers follow to deliver the next generation of child-resistant joint packaging.
Developing physical safety mechanisms (press-and-slide, button-activated hinged latches) that pass the strict childproof criteria set by federal consumer protection agencies, while remaining simple and intuitive for adults and seniors.
Integrating food-grade silicone linings and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) gaskets within the tin lids to block air exchange, lock in essential aromas, prevent terpene degradation, and secure dry pre-rolls from ambient moisture.
Phasing out composite plastic components in favor of 100% recyclable tinplate structures. Using water-based varnishes and vegetable-derived inks to ensure the entire container is infinitely recyclable without downcycling.
Embedding scannable anti-counterfeit QR codes, near-field communication (NFC) verification tags, and batch trace markers. Designing nesting contours for reliable high-speed robotic boxing and pallet shipping.
Shipping packaging across international borders requires a clear understanding of regional compliance regulations. In the United States, pre-roll metal boxes must comply with CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) standards. In Canada, packaging must fulfill Health Canada's strict parameters regarding surface gloss, warnings, and child safety.
Our ASTM certified tins undergo systematic testing to satisfy both ISO 8317 and 16 CFR Part 1700.20 protocols. This means you receive fully compliant packaging that protects you from product recalls, delays, or legal issues.
To keep your supply chain running smoothly, we coordinate closely with global shipping networks. We provide localized warehousing, streamlined customs clearance, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping services. This ensures that your premium child-resistant tins arrive on time and are ready for automated filling.
Direct answers from our engineering and compliance teams regarding OEM childproof metal packaging.
A: Child-resistant compliance indicates the packaging meets regulatory safety benchmarks such as ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR Part 1700.20. These protocols require the tin to remain challenging for children under 5 years old to open, while remaining easy to use for adults and seniors. Our certified tins use multi-step mechanisms (like push-and-squeeze buttons or slide notches) to meet these safety standards.
A: Yes. We have over 12 proprietary, certified CR tin designs that already possess child-resistant certifications. When you order one of these shapes, we provide the test reports and certifications to support your brand's compliance checks. If you develop a custom structure, we can guide you through the process of obtaining a new child-resistant certificate.
A: We place food-grade silicone gaskets or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) liners inside the lid recess. This creates a tight seal against the tin rim, locking in aromas and protecting contents from oxidation and moisture.
A: For existing models, production takes 25 to 30 days. For custom shapes, we complete the 3D files and prototype within 7 to 10 days, finish the mold tooling in 15 to 20 days, and complete mass production within 30 days of mold sign-off.
A: Yes, all tinplate materials, printing inks, and coatings comply with FDA, REACH, and EFSA regulations. We use food-grade, bisphenol-free coatings on the interiors of our tins to protect the product inside.
A: Yes, we offer offset printing, CMYK color matching, spot UV, matte/glossy finishes, and detailed embossing/debossing options.
A: We use high-speed automated production lines to lower labor costs, maintain strict quality controls, and build long-term relationships with material suppliers. This allows us to keep production costs highly competitive.
A: Yes. We use 3D printing to create physical plastic samples, allowing you to check the fit and structure of a design before starting mass production.
