Independent Can Company

Men's grooming products are plentiful and expanding. How does a brand make distinctions from the competition? Packaging. A masculine-themed container or gift set, that is collectible and sustainable, is a lasting advertisement that builds brand loyalty. #packagingsolutions #branding #brandimage #mensgrooming #healthandbeauty #beardbalm #mustachwax #sustainablepackaging #mensgrooming #mensgifts #masculinepackaging #metalpackaging #seamlesstins

Whatever shape you're in, Independent Can Company has the packaging solution. This can-making technology, that was introduced more than a decade ago, results in a more sturdy can. The radius and shape of the can are consistent, making it easy to fill and fit in a sleeve or carton. Thermoform inserts are also no challenge. Independent Can Company has the largest portfolio of shapes and sizes, including squares, rectangles and other fancy shapes. #tinpackaging #packagingsolutions #shapes #squares #rectangles #inserts #cartons #containers #fulfillment #sleeves #bands #metalrecyclesforever #sustainablepackaging

Tins are containers, protectors, collectible and part of the gift. External packaging isn't needed. With or without a bag, tins can be used for confections and baked goods. The inks, coatings and even the tin-plated steel, are all FDA approved for food contact. Independent Can is also audited and certified by Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI). https://lnkd.in/eFcmdTeK #SQFI #foodsafety #containers #giftpackaging #cookietins #sustainablepackaging

On this day in history, the U.S. Naval Academy was founded. "To improve the then-unsatisfactory methods of instructing midshipmen, George Bancroft—historian, educator, and secretary of the navy—founded the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, on this day in 1845." Britannica.com One of the staff artists, at Independent Can Company, created a tin, commemorating the special events, national monuments and historic places in Maryland. These included the Naval Academy, Fort McHenry, and The Preakness. #navalacademy #maryland #marylandhistory #commemorative #collectible #nationalmonuments #navy #navalhistory

Are you sick of the spin? We're not! This video shows a custom printed bottom being spun onto a cookie can. The operation marries the bottom to the sidewall of the tins and locks the two components together. A final inspection for quality and the can goes to be packed on a tray pack - a layered pallet of cans, separated by chipboard and stretch-wrapped for shipment. #manufacturing #cookietins #packagingsolutions #cookie #containers #sustainablepackaging #madeinUSA #madeinAmerica #maryland

Can consumers trust what companies are claiming about the recyclability of plastics? Plastics made from post-consumer plastic recycling are not recyclable. That second life is the end life. PCR (post-consumer recycled) packaging is manufactured with film that is made from recycled materials. In general, PCR packaging, cannot be recycled again since it's already made from recycled materials. https://lnkd.in/eCAxhZBc #plasticpollution #recycling #sustainability #greenwashing #metalpackaging #metalrecyclesforever #plasticcontainers #plasticrecycling #packagingsolutions #choosetin

Today is National Crush a Can Day! National Crush a Can Day dedicates time to educating the country about the benefits of recycling. Actually, cans made from steel are pretty hard to crush. Their rigid structure makes them crush and puncture resistant and easy to fill. You can give it a try before you place it in curb-side recycling. It could be used in the making of a new can or anything else made from steel. #metalpackaging #metalrecycling #metalrecyclesforever #steelrecycling #sustainability #recycling #looprecycling

Independent Can Company has benefitted from promotional opportunities in a wide variety of markets. Beautifully lithographed, decorative, tins for pet product brands, make great storage containers and are a lasting advertisement for the product inside. Independent Can Company has won numerous print quality awards for large tapered pails, used by Iams and Eukauba, that can still be found on Ebay in the $50.00 - $60.00 range, for collectors. Shelf appeal, adding value and branding are the best incentives for choosing tin. Tins are also the grand champions of the three Rs - Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle. #metalrecyclesforever #packagingsolutions #branding #brandpackaging #petproducts #petfood #pettreats #petindustry #printquality #plasticpolution #recycling #sustainability
