FAQs

Are these tins food-safe for direct storage?

These tins are designed as decorative storage and display pieces. While they can hold dry goods, they are not intended for direct, long-term food storage. For items like herbs or plants, it is recommended to use an inner liner.

What are the exact dimensions of each can?

The set includes two tins: a large one measuring approximately 13cm in height and 11cm in diameter, and a small one measuring approximately 12cm in height and 10cm in diameter.

Can I use these cans outdoors?

These cans are best suited for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements, including moisture and direct sunlight, may cause damage to the design and the metal.

How should I clean the tins?

Clean the tins with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the printed design. Ensure they are dried thoroughly after cleaning.

What material are the cans made from?

The cans are made from sheet metal with designs printed directly onto the surface.

Can these be used as planters?

Yes, they can be used as decorative cache pot holders for indoor plants. It is crucial to use a liner inside the can to protect it from soil moisture and prevent potential rust.

Troubleshooting

Design appears faded or scratched

This may occur with rough handling or exposure to abrasive materials. Ensure only soft cloths are used for cleaning and avoid placing heavy or sharp objects inside that could damage the print.

Rust spots appearing on the can

Moisture can lead to rust. Ensure the cans are kept dry and are thoroughly dried after cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact with water or damp soil if used as plant pot holders.

Can is dented

Due to the metal construction, dents can occur during shipping or handling. While functionality may not be severely impacted, the aesthetic appeal might be. Handle with care to prevent further damage.
