UK Tin Can Products Beyond the Basics: Drinkware, Money Tins and More

Promocan (promocan.co.uk) supplies UK-made tin can products across a wider range than most buyers expect — not just open top food cans but cocktail cups, collection tins, cutlery holders, plant pots, flower vases, mixing pots, pen and pencil pots, and re-enactment ration cans. If you need a metal container matched to a specific use — hospitality service, charity fundraising, a wedding, or plant display — the site organises products by use as well as by type, and most best sellers are sold in boxes of 12, 24 or 48 with per-box pricing shown. This guide covers what's available, how to match a product to your use, and how to order.

What product categories are available

The site groups products two ways: by use (Hospitality, Charity & Fundraising, Plant Pots, Screen & Stage, Weddings) and by product type. The main product types listed are:

• Cocktail cups — for drinks service and events
• Collection and money tins — for charity fundraising
• Cutlery holders — for hospitality and table settings
• Empty sealed food cans — in 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

The "and much more" in the supplier's own description is backed by this list — the range extends well past food cans into drinkware, fundraising, display and prop categories.

Matching a product to your use

The fastest route is the "Tins by Use" menu, which maps directly onto common buying situations:

If your use isn't listed, the product-type pages (cutlery holders, flower vases, mixing pots) let you browse by the item itself instead.

Pack sizes and pricing

Best sellers are listed with pack sizes and per-box prices, so you can compare value across quantities before ordering. Examples from the site:

Prices are shown as per-box totals, and each listing carries an "Item in Stock" marker where applicable. Larger quantities are also available as pallets of open top cans for wholesale buyers.

UK manufacturing and packaging

The site states its products are made in the UK, describes them as plastic-free, and highlights recyclability. If these claims matter to your purchase — for example, for a sustainability report or a plastic-free event — confirm them against the specific product page before ordering, since the claims are presented at site level rather than per item.

Ordering, wholesale and international shipping

• UK orders: add items to cart and check out; stock status is shown per listing.
• International orders: the site states international orders are welcome and asks you to contact them for a shipping quotation rather than checking out directly.
• Wholesale: a dedicated Wholesale Tin Supply section exists for bulk buyers.
• Contact: 01903 331266 or [email protected].

Delivery and returns terms are covered in the site's Delivery & Returns page and FAQ — check these before placing a large or international order, as shipping costs are quoted separately for international buyers.

Common sticking points

• International checkout: you can't complete an international order through the cart alone — you need a shipping quote first.
• Pack-size minimums: best sellers start at boxes of 12, so single-unit purchases may not be an option for those lines.
• Use vs. type browsing: if you can't find your product under "Tins by Use," switch to the product-type pages rather than assuming it isn't stocked.
• Bulk vs. retail: pallets of open top cans sit alongside boxed retail products, so wholesale and small-quantity buyers use different parts of the same site.
