Style 1 - Labeled 3 piece telescope tube, permanent metal ends
This is our most popular canister and is fully customized to fit your needs. Our “labels” are printed CMYK C2S aqueous-coated sheets, fully wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Custom Pantone colors, foil embossing, etc. may also be added. The inner telescoping tube is usually kraft brown or 100% flat white. The metal bottom is permanent, tin colored, and has a clear, scuff resistant coating.

Style 2 - Labeled 2 piece telescope tube, permanent metal ends
This is a great container for heavier products requiring weight-bearing packaging. Our “labels” are printed CMYK C2S aqueous-coated sheets, wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Custom Pantone colors, foil embossing, etc. may also be added. The permanent metal bottom is tin colored and has a clear coating that helps to reduce scuffing. The inside of both the top and the base are usually kraft brown but matte white or matte black inside liners are also common.

Style 3 - Labeled canister, friction-fit metal plug top, permanent metal bottom
The metal plug top gives this canister a clean, fresh look, while complimenting the metal bottom. The plug is about .500" deep - we accommodate for this by making the canister a little taller, to ensure your product fits properly. Our “labels” are printed CMYK sheets wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Custom Pantone colors, foil embossing, etc. may also be added. Both ends are tin colored with a clear, scuff resistant coating.

Style 4 - Labeled canister, white friction-fit plastic plug top, permanent metal bottom
Our “labels” are printed CMYK sheets wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Custom Pantone colors, foil embossing, etc. may also be added. The permanent metal bottom is tin colored and has a clear coating that helps to reduce scuffing. This is a great weight-bearing container.

Style 5 - Labeled tube with two, white friction-fit plastic end plugs
Our “labels” are printed CMYK sheets wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Custom Pantone colors, foil embossing, etc. may also be added. Plastic plugs are available from 1” to 12” and reduces the inside, usable space of the tube when inserted.

Style 6 - 100% Paper Canister
If you're looking for an eco-friendly paper canister made with recycled paper, look no further. This natural looking, kraft canister is a combination of one paper tube and two paper caps. Paper caps are available from .750" to 5" and come in kraft brown only. To promote brand or product recognition, these canisters may also be labeled. Our “labels” are printed CMYK sheets wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Custom Pantone colors, foil embossing, etc. may also be added.

Style 7 - 100% Paper Canister - 3 Piece Telescope Tube
This canister is made up of 3 tubes- a top, a base, and an inner telescoping "neck" (glued into the base). Paper caps are glued to both the top and the base and, when assembled, the inner paper tube is hidden. For promotional and/or security, circular stickers are often applied to the top paper cap or over the seam between the top and the base.

Style 8 - Labeled Donation Can, coin slot in permanent metal top, metal bottom
This donation can ensures all donations will be kept secure and safe. Both ends are permanent. Our “labels” are printed CMYK sheets wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Provide us with your organization's art and promote your cause.

Style 9 - Labeled Donation Can, coin slot in plastic plug top, metal bottom
This donation can is a great option if you're needing to use the same canister multiple times. The plastic plug top is removable and allows you to empty and re-use the canister. The permanent metal bottom is weight bearing and ensures the coins inside are secured. Our “labels” are printed CMYK sheets wrapped around each tube, hiding the spiral seam underneath. Provide us with your organization's art and promote your cause.
