Wedding Favor Tins
Packaging for wedding favors was commonly down to types – small card boxes and tulle nets. These days however, favor packaging encompasses a wide range of styles and materials.
One of the more modern styles is aluminum tins. Traditionally tins were used for mints and whilst this is still the case, tins in various shapes and sizes are being used for a wide range of different types of wedding favors.
Use small tins to hold flower and plant seeds. The tins will ensure the contents don’t get wet and will keep them safely contained. You can create a flower garden by using small tins (lip balm size) to hold different seed varieties and then place them inside a larger tin. You can also add in some plant labels and instruction leaflet in the void in the middle.
Candles are a popular wedding favor and you can combine them with tins by giving out candles in tins. You may like to have a go at making these yourself and craft stores hold many different kits for you to work with.
Candies look great in tins with clear lids which show off the contents. Use clear backed stickers with your wedding monogram on to personalize the favors by sticking them onto the lid.
Fill tins with pot pourri or lavender seeds to create a fragrant favor or fill with a blend of herbs and spices for a culinary treat! Tea leaves and coffee granules are another good choice for packaging in tins which will keep them fresh and dry. Tins also make nice containers for items such as mini soaps, bath salts or soap granules.
CD tins are a great choice for personalized CD’s. CD’s have become a popular favor at weddings with couples recording tracks from their wedding play list or songs which hold special meaning. CD tins come in either round or square shapes and allow for personalized stickers to be added to the top of the lid and on the back. Although pricier than ordinary plastic or card sleeves they are a very stylish way to present your wedding favors.
When it comes to decorating tins they make an ideal base in which to add stickers, labels and wraps. Some companies offer fully customized printing services on to tins and favor stores often carry a range of designs which can be put onto mint tins.
Typically tins will come in round, square or rectangular shapes, ovals and hearts may also be available. The depth of the tin also needs to be considered when purchasing as some are very shallow whilst others are much deeper. Lids can be plain metal or feature a clear insert allowing you to see the contents. There is also a range of novelty tins which you may come across in favors stores. These designs include things like suitcases and flip-flops. Tins usually come in plain silver color, but some can be powder coated in a color of your choice.
