Choice is good, which is why we now offer recycled plastic paint cans alongside our metal paint tins. This means you now have more options when choosing paint containers for your business.
Two great options for paint packaging: Recycled Plastic or Metal Paint Tins
Go Green: Plastic Paint Tins
Our Paintainer range brings the benefits of plastic packaging to the paint industry. Plastic packaging is lightweight, practical and excellent value, making it a popular choice for paints and coatings.
Invopak's plastic paint tins are made from recycled plastic, making them a more sustainable option than standard plastic buckets. This also means they are plastic tax exempt. They are made from a single type of plastic (polypropylene) which can easily be recycled after use - helping to close the loop on your plastic packaging.
The Paintainers are designed to be used with the matching push-lock PCR lids. The containers and lids are engineered for a leak-proof fit, providing secure paint storage, at a competitive price. These plastic paint cans are suitable for in-mould labelling so there’s no need to compromise your branding for sustainability.
Our Paintainers are;
- Made from recycled plastic
- Plastic Tax exempt
- Engineered for paint
- Excellent value
- Made in the UK
Go Greener: Metal Paint Tins
Many businesses are looking to move away from plastic altogether. And there’s no doubt that metal packaging has a bright (and dare we say shiny!) future.
The price gap between plastic and metal tins is narrowing as environmental taxes are starting to bite - and if you’re looking for quality and durability there’s no better answer than metal.
Metal recycles forever with no loss in quality. Metal is elemental so it’s not chemically altered when it's melted down - it can be returned to its raw form and re-used again and again and it will have exactly the same physical properties as when it was freshly mined.
When we made the move to manufacturing it made sense to make it metal. The market for metal packaging is expanding as customers and business look to find sustainable packaging solutions.
In recent years there has been volatility and supply chain challenges with metal packaging, becoming a manufacturer means we can provide that reliable supply that our customers need.
We are currently producing 2.5 litre and 5 litre paint tins in lacquered and plain finishes. These paint tins are made in our own factory, in Manchester, which means there's a quicker turnaround time and a lower carbon footprint compared to imported packaging. These tins go from our factory floor to your door in minutes not months!
