Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Altoidstins1.jpg thumb 200px A variety of tins used for Altoids breath mints. A tin box , or tin for short, is a metal container with a re closeable lid. Despite its name, a tin box seldom involves more tin than a thin plating plate d layer whose purpose is to inhibit corrosion . Construction The lid, which sometimes is hinge d to the rest of the box, is often held in place when closed by friction. In other cases, two protruding parts can pass each other only when the lid and the rest of the box are deformed slightly pressure from the user s hands is sufficient to produce this deformation, while the parts resist this somewhat, and are flexible enough to recover their normal shape when released. Usage Modern tin boxes have been used to hold items such as breath mint s, throat lozenge s, instant coffee , Cocoa solids cocoa and even CD ROM s for an internet service provider . In the past even more products were stored in tins, many highly decorated. Businesses tried to encourage the re use of tins they provided, with the effect of the tins advertising them. One common use of the tin was as a children s lunchbox and in the United Kingdom UK as biscuit tin s. Highly decorated holiday tins , usually containing cookie s, candy , or popcorn , are sold during the holiday season and are popular gifts. Similar festive containers are used in Europe for sweets , biscuit s, cake s and chocolate s, mainly at Christmas , rather than in the summer holidays and in countries with United Kingdom British associations, they are usually called biscuit tins. In the year 2007 the German company dosenwelten started a new concept with digital printing on already shaped tin boxes. In these days it is possible to produce already printed tin boxes from one piece. DEFAULTSORT Tin Box Category Containers Category Packaging ... more details
