Tins

Tins are much more than mere containers – they combine design, functionality, and sustainability in a single product. Whether handmade one-of-a-kind pieces or mass-produced classics, each tin tells its own story and contributes to the practical as well as aesthetic design of our everyday lives. For us, quality and care are at the forefront, ensuring we offer our customers products that are not only practical but also beautiful and environmentally friendly.


The Tin Production

The Cha Cult® tins are produced using different manufacturing techniques, depending on the shape and finish.

The Japanese decorative tins with Washi paper require a lot of manual labour, as the paper is carefully applied, while the Chinese tins (25 g, 50 g, 100 g) are largely handmade – from shaping the tin body to assembling the individual parts.

The round tins, on the other hand, are predominantly formed and assembled by machine.

In all cases, production begins with printing the design onto large sheets, which are then cut into strips. The tins are assembled at various workstations before undergoing a strict quality inspection.

Thus, handcraft and machine production come together in a meticulous manufacturing process, which demands different requirements for each type of tin.


Our Cha Cult® Tins

In the realm of tins, the brand Cha Cult® has stood for outstanding quality and exceptional design for many years. Many of our customers discover our brand through the Cha Cult® logo and specifically ask for more products. Our exclusive tins – whether in silver or gold with the embossed Cha Cult® logo, or with a special sticker design – bear the Cha Cult® emblem as a trademark.

We are proud to say that over 75% of our tins are now sold directly under our own brand, Cha Cult®, at Dethlefsen & Balk.

The remaining 25% of our tins come from external brands or are not produced under the Cha Cult® brand. However, you can be sure that these products always meet our very high quality standards.

Our tin range benefits from our decades of experience in product development and design selection. Our design team visits trade fairs worldwide and regularly exchanges ideas with creative minds and external designers to spot trends and implement innovative ideas for Cha Cult®.


Sustainable Product Packaging

In addition to design and functionality, the sustainability aspect is particularly important to us. In general, our tins are reusable, making them environmentally friendly. We also place great emphasis on being as eco-friendly as possible with our transport packaging. For several years now, our tins have no longer been wrapped in plastic but in paper to protect them from scratches and dust.
