Engineered for compliance and visual distinction. Explore our primary collection of certified child-resistant metal packaging designs.
Understanding the shifting paradigm from single-use plastics to sustainable, certified child-resistant metal tinplate packaging.
Global markets are aggressively implementing restrictions on single-use plastics. Premium pre-rolls brands are pivoting to tinplate (recycled mild steel coated with tin). Tinplate is infinitely recyclable without loss of structural integrity, offering brands a path to zero-waste compliance while satisfying corporate social responsibility (CSR) targets.
Regulatory bodies such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada demand robust child-resistant packaging under 16 CFR Part 1700.20 and ASTM D3475. Metal tins offer rigid, durable, and repeatable child-resistant lock mechanisms (push-and-turn, button releases, side-slides) that maintain functionality over repeated uses.
Pre-rolled products are highly susceptible to physical crushing, moisture fluctuations, and oxidation. Compared to cardboard or plastic bags, custom-engineered metal tins provide superior physical defense. Combined with food-grade silicone liners or airtight rubber seals, they shield delicate raw materials from air exposure, light degradation, and humidity loss.
CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co.,Ltd) stands as a streamlined, single-source professional developer and supplier of child-resistant tin boxes. We seamlessly integrate critical stages including structural child-resistant lock design, precision mold making, certified physical testing, and high-volume mass production.
Initiating our dedicated R&D in child-resistant lock engineering in 2017, we have spent nearly a decade refining metal-to-metal and metal-to-plastic locks. Today, our catalog features over 70 certified child-resistant lock tin boxes, covering all packaging formats utilized across North America, Europe, and Oceania. We have established our own unique, proprietary child-resistant lock system to address varied market requirements.
Quantifying our capability, technological scale, and response efficiency in the metal packaging market.
Providing custom physical, aesthetic, and mechanical structures tailored to your specific brand identity.
We supply a diverse array of structural mechanisms: press-to-release buttons, side-squeeze slides, hinge-lock designs, and stand-up configurations. These designs match standard retail displays and meet modern dispensary space requirements.
Our engineering division creates photorealistic 3D renderings and structural CAD layouts. We utilize in-house SLA 3D printing to provide high-precision tactile plastic prototypes within 48 hours, accelerating your feedback loop.
Equipped with advanced optical vision systems, pneumatic mechanical stress test rigs, and physical pull-push force gauges, our quality assurance team guarantees that every single child-resistant lock operates correctly through hundreds of uses.
How we combine engineering expertise, cost containment, and rigorous safety testing to deliver stable product packaging.
Whether you are launching an emerging boutique brand or operating a multi-state cannabis enterprise, our structural designers help you select and optimize custom metal packaging. We balance the thickness of the electrolytic tinplate, the tension parameters of the locking clips, and the chemistry of the food-safe inner coatings.
Our solutions range from airtight hermetic silicone gasket tins that lock in terpenes, to simplified sliding metal structures designed for retail velocity. We assist our clients in choosing the correct configuration for their specific manufacturing processes.
Our structures have completed formal testing under third-party verification companies. These tests demonstrate compliant Child-Resistant Effectiveness (CRE) alongside Senior-Friendly Usefulness (SFU), ensuring safety for children and accessibility for adults.
By leveraging automated stamping, continuous hinge assembly, and high-speed multi-color offset printing machines, we reduce direct labor requirements. These efficiencies translate into competitive pricing for your custom designs.
We maintain strict control over components through multi-stage QC: raw material validation, automated inline dimensional monitoring, and final assembly auditing. This process is supplemented by third-party chemical and mechanical inspection reports.
We offer extensive customization options, including spot gloss coatings, micro-embossing, de-embossed instructions, food-grade internal lacquer coatings, and precise paperboard inserts to secure individual pre-rolls.
Our forward-looking development plan ensures CR Tin remains at the vanguard of the packaging industry.
Helping your brand navigate regional regulations and optimize international shipping logistics.
We design packaging to comply with the different regulations in the US and Canada. Our engineering team assists with the specific packaging rules for pre-rolls in states like California, Oregon, and Colorado, as well as the strict plain packaging requirements in Canada.
We comply with EU food contact material regulations (Regulation EC No 1935/2004) and child-resistant packaging guidelines. All internal varnishes are certified free of heavy metals and BPA, ensuring compatibility with consumer wellness standards.
We work with international freight partners to offer flexible shipping options. From ocean shipping to air freight, we manage customs documentation and delivery to your regional distribution centers or third-party logistics provider (3PL).
