Premium metal packaging designed to meet global safety standards while elevating brand presence in the local Indian market.
India's nutraceutical and functional foods markets are undergoing a massive transformation. Driven by rising middle-class disposable incomes, health consciousness, and a cultural shift towards convenient health supplements, the demand for premium packaging has surged. From botanical extract gummies to traditional Ayurvedic formulations presented in modern formats, brands are increasingly looking for packaging that ensures freshness, compliance, and child safety.
Additionally, with the legalization of controlled industrial hemp and Ayurvedic cannabis leaf formulations under the AYUSH ministry in specific states (such as Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh), domestic wellness enterprises are moving away from cheap plastics. Instead, they are embracing premium, infinitely recyclable tinplate solutions that preserve volatile terpenes and active ingredients.
The application of child-resistant (CR) tins in India spans multiple high-growth segments:
By integrating Chinese high-automation manufacturing with localized shipping channels serving major ports like Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Chennai, and Mundra, CR Tin ensures that Indian brands receive premium packaging without high capital expenditures or tooling delays.
A streamlined, single-source manufacturer leading the global child-resistant metal packaging industry.
CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co., Ltd) integrates product concept, structural engineering, child-resistant lock testing, mold fabrication, and automated mass production under one roof. Initiated in 2016 and heavily focused on the segment since 2017, we have spent nearly a decade perfecting child-resistant metallurgy. Today, we boast over 70 proprietary certified designs, creating a comprehensive system that protects children while remaining accessible to adults.
Over 12 distinct certified locks offering sliding, button-release, hinged, and airtight solutions tailored to different edible formulations.
Rapid 3D rendering and physical 3D plastic prototyping allow you to verify functionality before investing in expensive steel tooling.
Rigorous multi-stage QC processes backed by automated assembly lines and third-party inspection agencies ensure zero-defect packaging.
Developing value-engineered metal packaging for international brands and domestic Indian enterprises.
Sourcing high-end, food-safe metal packaging from our state-of-the-art facilities in China provides Indian brands with unique benefits. While the domestic Indian tin manufacturing industry primarily caters to industrial chemicals, bulk oil, or standard biscuits, specialized, certified child-resistant packaging requires high-tech stamping equipment. Our facility offers:
Any company selling edible products must navigate local safety rules. Under FSSAI, packaging materials must be free of harmful chemical leaching. Additionally, as Indian pharmaceutical and Ayurvedic brands expand their export businesses, they must comply with Western child safety standards. Our child-resistant tin boxes are certified to international standards (ASTM D3475, EN 862). They feature food-grade internal varnishes that prevent flavor transfer and safeguard active formulations from humidity.
Consumer pressure in urban India (like Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Pune, and Mumbai) is forcing brands to move away from plastic. Tinplate is 100% recyclable and is the most recycled packaging material globally. Metal tins offer prolonged secondary usage as storage devices in Indian households, giving brands ongoing exposure and building long-term customer loyalty.
Active herbal products and confectionery gummies are sensitive to environmental factors. Moisture, oxygen, and light degrade cannabinoids, vitamins, and texture. Our airtight child-resistant tins use food-grade silicone liners combined with secure latch systems. This technology creates a barrier that extends shelf-life without the need for synthetic chemical preservatives, keeping products fresh even in high-humidity tropical climates like coastal India.

Yes. Our child-resistant tin designs have passed ASTM D3475 child-resistant test standards. We run tests with panels of children and adults to ensure the packaging is secure against children under 5 years old while remaining simple for seniors to open.
We coordinate shipping from our manufacturing facilities in China directly to Indian ports like Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Chennai, and Mundra. Transit time by sea takes 14 to 20 days. We supply all customs documents (like COA, Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice) to ensure smooth customs clearance.
Absolutely. We use FDA and FSSAI-approved internal varnishes and food-safe lacquers. These protect the tinplate from food acids and moisture while preventing direct contact with metal, keeping your edibles safe and fresh.
Yes. We support custom CMYK offset printing, Pantone matching, metallic inks, spot UV varnishing, embossing, and debossing. Our design team provides 3D mockups and templates to ensure your artwork aligns perfectly with the metal contours.
For existing stock shapes and structures, the MOQ is generally 10,000 units. For completely custom sizes or new child-resistant structures that require new molds, the MOQ is typically 20,000 to 30,000 units depending on size.
