UK-Made Tin Can Products: Drinkware, Money Tins and More

Updated

If you are looking for tin can products made in the UK, promocan.co.uk supplies a range that includes drinkware, money tins, cutlery holders, plant pots and empty sealed food cans, sold in boxes of 12, 24 or 48. The site is aimed at buyers who want plastic-free, recyclable metal items for hospitality, charity fundraising, weddings, props or everyday use. This guide explains what is available, how to choose by use, what the listed prices cover, and how to order.

What product categories are available

The supplier organises its range in two ways: by product type and by use.

By product type (from the site navigation and best sellers):

  • Cocktail cups (drinkware)
  • Collection and money tins
  • Cutlery holders
  • Empty sealed food cans (classic and contemporary styles)
  • Flower vases
  • Mixing pots
  • Pen and pencil pots
  • Plant pots
  • Re-enactment ration cans
  • Self-fill cans
  • TV, film and stage props
  • Wedding car tin cans

By use (the "Tins by Use" menu):

  • Hospitality
  • Charity & Fundraising
  • Plant Pots
  • Screen & Stage

There is also a wholesale tin supply section and a can seamers category, which suggests the range extends beyond finished retail items to equipment and bulk supply.

Choosing the right tin for your purpose

The site's own structure is the quickest way to narrow down a choice. Match your task to the category rather than starting from the full product list.

If you need... Look at Why
Drinks service or party favours Cocktail Cups Listed as drinkware and sold in 12/24/48 boxes
Fundraising collection Collection & Money Tins Dedicated charity and fundraising category
Table setting or catering Cutlery Holders, Hospitality Grouped under hospitality use
Gifts, planting or decor Plant Pots, Flower Vases Separate use and product categories
Film, theatre or re-enactment TV, Film & Stage Props, Re-enactment Ration Cans Purpose-built for screen and stage
Wedding send-off Wedding Car Tin Cans Listed as its own product line
Filling and sealing your own product Self Fill Cans, Empty Sealed Food Cans, Can Seamers Covers both containers and sealing equipment

If your requirement spans several of these, the "Tins by Use" pages group related items together, which is faster than browsing product by product.

Pack sizes and listed prices

Best-seller listings show tiered pricing by box size. The pattern is consistent across the products shown:

Product Box of 12 Box of 24 Box of 48
Classic Empty Sealed Food Cans £16.42 £32.84 £65.68
Cocktail Cups £16.92 £33.84 £67.68
Collection Tin £16.98 £33.96 £67.93
Contemporary Empty Sealed Food Cans £16.99 £33.99 Not shown in excerpt

Two things are worth noting. First, larger boxes are priced at roughly double the smaller box, so the per-unit cost stays broadly similar across tiers rather than dropping sharply. Second, these are the prices shown on the site at the time of writing; check the current listing before ordering, as prices and stock can change.

The basket summary on the site shows separate lines for discounts, tax and delivery, which means delivery is calculated at checkout rather than being included in the listed product price.

UK-made, plastic-free and recyclable claims

The site presents its range around four stated points:

  • Simply Metal – choose plastic-free products and packaging
  • Made in the UK – support local craftsmanship and sustainability
  • Eco-Friendly Style – conscious choices
  • Infinite Recyclability – metal can be recycled repeatedly

These are the supplier's own claims, so treat them as a starting point for your own checks. If plastic-free packaging or UK manufacture is essential to your purchase (for example, for a sustainability report or a funding condition), confirm the specifics with the supplier directly before ordering, since the claims apply to the range as a whole rather than being broken down per product on the pages shown.

How to order and what to check first

  1. Browse by use or product type. Start with "Tins by Use" if you know the application, or the product menu if you know the item.
  2. Select your pack size. Boxes of 12, 24 and 48 are the tiers shown; larger quantities may fall under wholesale supply.
  3. Add to cart and check the basket. The cart shows discounts, tax, delivery and total as separate lines, so review the delivery figure before completing checkout.
  4. For international orders, request a quote. The site states that international orders are welcome but asks you to contact them for a shipping quotation rather than calculating it automatically.
  5. Contact the supplier for anything unclear. Phone 01903 331266 or email [email protected]. Use this route for wholesale enquiries, can seamer questions, or confirmation of UK-made and plastic-free details.

Before you commit, it is worth confirming: current stock status (listings show "Item in Stock"), the exact delivery cost to your address, and whether the specific product you want meets any certification or packaging requirements you have.

Common questions

Are the prices per box or per tin? The listed prices are per box (12, 24 or 48), not per individual tin.

Is delivery included? No indication that it is. The basket separates delivery from the product total, so expect it to be added at checkout.

Can I order from outside the UK? The site says international orders are welcome, but you need to contact them for a shipping quotation first.

Is there a minimum order? The smallest pack size shown is a box of 12. Wholesale supply is a separate section, so bulk buyers should enquire directly.

Can I fill and seal the cans myself? Yes — the range includes self-fill cans, empty sealed food cans and can seamers, which together cover filling and sealing.
