Empty Slide Top Tin Containers for Lip Balm, Crafts, Storage Kit - .25oz, 6 Pack

I normally keep some pills in an altoids can and got tired of them getting all mixed up, this solved the problem. I can fit 6 of these in an altoids can and stick duct tape labels on top so I know what I'm opening. It does rattle a bit in the can but it's in my bag so it's not a huge deal.

I bought these as handy little pill/tablet storage containers for making those ubiquitous pocket sized "survival kit" tins that folks make out of empty Altoids tins. They work great for that, and they're easily worth the price. The slide-off lids are snug and have a small detent on one end to secure them closed, but they're not hard to open. They easily fit a dozen or more aspirin, benadryl, Tylenol, etc tablets and they stack 2-high neatly inside a typical Altoids or Sucrets tin, or in the generic "blank" ones available here on Amazon that I also ordered. I then took a label maker and printed a label for each one with the contents and the expiration date for whatever medication they held. Very handy for building a small custom pocket survival tin.

I use these to keep my Piercing threaders organized. They work great.

These were all made really well, with no warping and fit together snugly. I was surprised at the capacity with how slim they are. I just needed one, but after seeing how much it holds, ended up using almost all of them.

I thought these would be a little smaller like the lip balm tins from when I was a kid. These are a bit bigger. They're okay for loose solid items like bobby pins, safety pins, earrings, etc. They are okay for TicTacs or other small breath mints for in your pocket as the container is low-profile and will not look bulky in your pocket. Because these are metal, if something is loose in there, you may hear items move around if it is quiet and the container is in your pocket while you are moving.I would not recommend lip balms or anything that could melt or leak if you're going to carry them anywhere because these do not have a tight seal at all. If you're using at home only and plan to keep upright, they're probably fine.All else aside, the material appears to be good quality, looks nice, and should not scratch/dent unless you cram your pockets tightly with a lot of hard stuff.While it's been over a year since I've purchased these, I cannot speak to long-term exposure to elements - rust, etc.

I bought these little tins to keep a few pills in a slim purse, and ended up using them in my gym bag and several other places too. I wanted something non-plastic, small and flat, and these fit the bill. The tops remain closed and don’t spill the contents, which I had been a little bit worried about. I do wish they were just a bit bigger, but they do hold capsules quite easily.

The new hype it is taking Celtic salt so instead of carrying the bag of salt around I filled all 6 of these I keep one in the kitchen, next to the bed, my purse, car, office, gave one to my husband whom I now force to take Celtic salt too. :) The lids fully slide off, they are made strong, so the lid won't slide off unless you're really push it, so I am not worries about anything falling out. These are so convenient to carry a few Tylenols or vitamins if you are traveling.

These tins were exactly as described, and seen pretty stout for their size. The sizing was right on the money and the price
