    Default Tins for furniture polish

    This is posted under 'marketing' not 'scaling up' ... I want to sell some furniture polish but am not particularly keen on the tins sold by Thornes (100ml, twist-key lids). Does anyone know of some alternative containers that are suitable? Not plastic as the turps will probably destroy it over time. There are some nice screw-cap aluminium containers of the right size/volume but I'm pretty sure beeswax discolours if kept in aluminium.

    Would glass work? Cosmetic jars are often glass but could be expensive.

    Wynne Jones sells aluminium pots, 70mm diameter http://cwynnejones.com/store/index.p...roducts_id=509 If they're good enough for cosmetics containing beeswax they might be good enough for polish, but you could phone them to ask. They also sell a selection of 'ointment' jars http://cwynnejones.com/store/index.p...Path=1_2_22_24

    They've got these unusual shaped jars too http://cwynnejones.com/store/index.p...roducts_id=551 The neck is quite wide, so might be easy enough to get at the polish at the bottom of the jar.

    Thanks Bumble, I'll give them a call. Those unusual shaped jars might well be suitable.
