Sample kits

A few tins in a box, unprinted, in the formats that suit what you are packing. It exists because no photograph has ever told anyone what a closure feels like.

What you get

Two or three formats, chosen against what you told us you are packing, so it is not a catalogue in a box. If you say pre-roll multipack you get sliders and flips, not a round tin.

They are unprinted. The point is the metal, the weight and the mechanism, and print at this stage would just be a distraction from all three.

What to do with it

Fill them. That is the whole reason they exist. Put your actual product in, close it, shake it, and open it the way a customer would, one-handed and not concentrating.

You will know within about a minute which format is right, and that is genuinely faster than any amount of specification reading.

What it settles

Fit, first. We do not claim a size holds a given product until somebody has filled it, so this is the step where that question gets answered properly.

Then the closure, which is the decision people change their mind about most after handling one. Press and turn reads very differently in the hand to how it reads described.

What it costs

Nothing, and there is no follow-up attached to it. Tell us what you are packing and it goes in the post.

If the answer turns out to be that metal is wrong for your product, that is a useful answer too and we would rather you found out from a sample than from a pallet.

Hold one before
you specify it.

Tell us what you're packing and we'll send the formats that suit it.
