Engineered protective structures compliant with ASTM and CPSC guidelines, customized to elevate premium brand authority.
CR Tin (Andylots Tin Box Packaging Co.,Ltd) is a streamlined, single-source professional supplier of child resistant tin boxes and premium custom flexible barrier pouches. We seamlessly integrate child resistant lock design, engineering, mold making, rapid sampling, physical and mechanical lock testing, and high-volume mass production.
We began developing child resistant lock tin boxes in 2017. After nine years of dedicated research and development and pioneering experience, we have successfully developed and certified over 70 child-resistant packaging mechanisms. Our structures cover all mainstream packaging styles in the industry, allowing us to establish our own unique child resistant lock tin box and flexible pouch systems.
For brands in fast-growing sectors like medical and recreational cannabis, pharmaceutical products, and concentrated household goods, packaging is not just a container—it is a vital pillar of regulatory compliance and brand differentiation.
Compliance with ASTM D3475, CPSC 16 CFR Part 1700.20, and ISO 8317 is mandatory. Our flexible child-resistant pouches utilize multi-action zipper configurations (press-and-pull, push-and-slide) to keep curious toddlers out while maintaining accessible, senior-friendly operation.
Preventing volatile terpene escape and halting oxygen/moisture ingress is critical. We build multi-layered custom barrier pouches incorporating EVOH, metalized PET (VMPET), and pure aluminum foil (AL) laminates to preserve flavor profiles and extend product shelf-life indefinitely.
As global standards shift toward zero-waste, CR Tin leads the charge by offering fully recyclable mono-material PE pouches, compostable plant-based PLA film options, and post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics to help brands meet ESG targets.
Procuring packaging directly from our fully integrated manufacturing site in China ensures unparalleled cost structures, engineering quality, and supply continuity.
Decades of collective industry experience fuel our team’s unparalleled tin structure knowledge, fresh child-resistant design ideas, and consistent quality in our premium and unique CR tin box and pouch packaging. Whether you are new to cannabis/pharmaceutical sectors or deeply seasoned, we support and guide you to choose and use our unique tins.
Our cost control comes from structural efficiency, local supply integration, and automated assembly line operations:
How we protect, scale, and elevate premium consumer brands across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
More than 12 distinct mechanical CR tin and flexible pouch structures as your foundational option.
Free unique structural layout & creative design services. We provide 3D rendering and fast SLA 3D physical mockups.
Advanced in-house physical lab testing alongside optical sorting cameras to keep defects under 0.2%.
We believe child safety requires zero compromises. Our quality assurance framework checks every step from design verification to freight dispatch:
Whether you require custom size stand-up pouches, child proof flat mylar bags, shaped pouches, or bespoke metal shapes, we support you through every stage:
Ensuring packaging meets local regulations and application requirements is critical for cross-border brands.
US state packaging laws require exit packaging to be opaque and child-resistant. Our stand-up child proof pouches, mylar weed bags, and small tin cases meet these guidelines while keeping flower, gummies, chocolates, and pre-rolls fresh and secure.
From clinical trial drugs and single-dose capsules to medical supplements, our high-barrier aluminum and custom tin packaging protects formulations from atmospheric deterioration and prevents accidental ingestion by children.
Concentrated laundry pods and liquid capsules require heavy-duty moisture-resistant, puncture-proof zippers. We supply puncture-proof laminated pouches with patented closure systems to prevent accidental chemical contact.
As retail operations move toward sustainable packaging, the global demand for custom stand-up pouches and premium metal containers is growing rapidly. Industry analysts point to several major shifts:
Traditional multi-layer plastic pouches are hard to recycle because they combine different material layers (PET, Foil, PE). The industry is moving toward high-barrier mono-material PE (Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene) structures. Our factory is at the forefront of this shift, offering recyclable options that maintain the barrier performance of classic metalized laminates.
For brands launching new SKUs, short-run digital printing eliminates high cylinder plate costs and enables rapid testing. For volume scale, our high-speed rotogravure presses provide accurate Pantone color matching, metallic ink options, and cost-effective print runs.
Anti-counterfeiting technologies like unique QR codes, NFC tag layers, and tamper-evident pull-tabs are becoming standard. These features build consumer trust and protect brands from grey-market distribution.
Find answers to technical, regulatory, and supply chain questions about custom child-resistant pouches and tin packaging.
A packaging design is child-resistant if it passes testing outlined in CPSC 16 CFR Part 1700.20 and ASTM D3475. This evaluation tests children under 5 years old (who must not be able to open it within a specified time) and seniors aged 50 to 70 (who must be able to open and resecure it easily).
Yes, we specialize in high-definition rotogravure and digital printing for flexible pouches, as well as CMYK offset printing and custom embossing/debossing for metal tin boxes. Matte, glossy, spot UV, and holographic finishes are available.
The MOQ for custom printed pouches is typically 10,000 to 20,000 units per design, depending on the pouch size and material structure. For digital printing options, we can accommodate smaller test runs starting at 5,000 units.
We customize laminated film structures to meet your requirements. For maximum barrier protection, we use a layer of pure aluminum foil (AL) or metalized polyester (VMPET). We also offer clear high-barrier films like EVOH, which protect your product from oxygen and moisture while keeping it visible.
A new tin box mold or custom plastic pouch die-cut takes approximately 15 to 20 days to manufacture and test. Once the physical samples are approved, bulk production takes about 20 to 30 days, depending on the order volume.
Yes. All of our child-proof closures are designed to be intuitive for adults. They require two simultaneous actions (such as pushing a button while sliding, or pressing down a tab while pulling) which are difficult for young children but easy for adults and seniors.
We maintain long-term material contracts, use automated production lines to lower labor costs, and optimize our structural designs. These practices minimize material waste and allow us to offer stable, competitive factory pricing.
Our facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Our food-contact materials are FDA compliant and regularly tested by third parties like SGS to ensure they meet US and EU standards.
Yes, we offer PCR options for PE and PET layers, as well as fully compostable films (Kraft paper laminated with PLA). These options help you meet sustainability requirements without compromising child safety or shelf-life.
We offer full-service logistics support, including FOB, CIF, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping. We handle all export customs clearance in China and work with experienced customs brokers to ensure delivery to your warehouse in the US, Europe, or Canada.
