Why Choose Metal Packaging?
Fully Recyclable & Circular
Like aluminum, metal tins, canisters, and closures are part of the circular economy. They can be recycled and reformed repeatedly without losing quality. This makes them an ideal choice for brands aiming to reduce plastic dependency while improving environmental impact.
Product Protection
Metal offers excellent protection against light, air, and moisture, making it a superior choice for products that require extended shelf life and integrity. Metal closures with barrier linings provide an added layer of protection and freshness retention.
Shelf Appeal & Consumer Experience
The tactile feel and visual appeal of metal packaging can elevate consumer perception of product value. The smooth click of a metal cap or the satisfying twist of a canister lid adds to a premium unboxing experience that today’s consumers love.
Sustainable Sourcing & Manufacturing
Whether you’re seeking classic tin jars for cosmetic balms, metal canisters for nutritional powders, or custom closures for glass bottles, NuGen’s Metal Products collection offers versatile, high-performing, and sustainable options for your brand.
