First-tier high-performance metal containers engineered for safety, sensory preservation, and compliance.
CR Tin (also operating under Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co., Ltd) is a fully streamlined, single-source global manufacturer specializing in child-resistant (CR) packaging, customized lithography, and high-performance tinplate structures. Originating in 2016 and aggressively developing proprietary child-resistant mechanisms since 2017, CR Tin has built a reputation for excellence. We handle everything in-house: tool engineering, testing, certification, assembly automation, and global distribution logistics.
With nearly a decade of experience, we have successfully developed and certified over 70 distinct child-resistant locking mechanisms. This system spans the entire spectrum of metal packaging shapes and mechanisms in use globally today. From pocket-sized mint tins to airtight food-grade designs, our products comply fully with international child-resistant standards (including US 16 CFR § 1700.20, ASTM D3475, and ISO 8317), making them the perfect packaging choice for the highly regulated Canadian market, particularly for medical, wellness, and adult-use mints and edibles in Ontario.
Our strategic manufacturing framework is optimized to serve active consumer hubs like Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, and Brampton. We bridge the gap between high-volume offshore manufacturing efficiencies and local compliance and delivery demands.
Adapting to evolving Canadian food safety, health regulations, and eco-friendly consumer preferences.
Health Canada enforces strict packaging rules under the Food and Drugs Act and the Cannabis Act. Our ASTM-certified, multi-step push-and-slide or squeeze-and-turn lids meet these child-resistant standards while remaining accessible for adults.
Toronto is a hub for retail innovation. Custom metal tins offer excellent tactile feedback, embossed textures, and vibrant graphics that help products stand out on retail shelves compared to standard paperboard.
With the City of Toronto pushing for zero-waste circular systems, our tinplate steel containers are highly sustainable. Tins can be reused indefinitely and are easily sorted by recycling systems using magnetic separation.
Providing reliable metal packaging solutions for high-volume brand requirements.
Choose from over 12 proprietary, certified CR tin architectures. This allows brands to select the perfect closing mechanism—hinged, slide, or round push-turn—matching their specific product lines without extra certification delays.
We offer complimentary custom design services, including high-fidelity 3D structural rendering and rapid 3D physical modeling. This helps brands test and refine their structural packaging concepts quickly.
Using automated manufacturing lines alongside dedicated manual inspection teams, we ensure strict quality control. Every batch undergoes physical stress tests to guarantee reliable lock functionality.
Creating high-quality child-resistant metal packaging requires precision engineering. Our teams work to exact tolerances, ensuring our metal components slide, latch, and lock reliably across millions of units.
A transparent breakdown of how we balance quality control and cost-efficiency.
We use a rigorous QC process, checking all raw materials and components before assembly. Automated production lines help maintain consistent quality, and third-party inspection reports are available for every production run.
Our certified child-resistant designs are structurally optimized to reduce material waste. High-speed automated assembly and reliable accessory suppliers keep unit costs competitive without sacrificing quality.
We provide full support from initial concept to finished product. This includes a wide range of standard molds, custom structural engineering, detailed 3D rendering, and rapid plastic prototyping to bring your ideas to life.
