Although empty tins are generally called "Tin Cans", there are almost no modern tins that are produced solely from tin. The main reason why people call these empty cans "Tins" can be dated back to the late 20th century. Back then, cans were created out of tin-plated steel in order to combine the strength and affordability of steel with the corrosion resistance of tin.

Nowadays, empty tin cans are, generally speaking, crafted out of any thin metal. This can range from aluminum to steel or iron. Although not always, these small tin cans often come with a tin-plating. Ever since the 1960s, aluminum has by far become the number one choice for producing small tin cans. The reason behind this lies in the fact that it is cheaper and easier to form. Thanks to this, the manufacturing process has become less costly and less time-consuming compared to before. Therefore they can be made into many shapes like Round Tin Cans, Square Tin Cans and so on. Aluminum is known to offer the same resistance to corrosion which makes it a perfect replacement.


As for the bucket, of course we are well aware there are many choices when it comes to choosing buckets and containers like Plastic Bucket and Storage Steel Bucket. In terms of material, for instance, for many, many years the only option was some form of metal. Having said that, there was a time when buckets were made of wood, or hemp. Plastic really was the material of the 20th Century. And as the 21st Century beds in, it remains the perfect material for uses from the everyday to the industrial and commercial. We have thought through all options very carefully, and plastic remains the best solution for our buckets and containers.
