How The New Tariffs Are Changing The Game For Tin Cans

If you have been watching the news lately, you probably have seen all the new tariffs that are taking over world trade really quickly. They started out as a political talking point, but now they are really affecting the costs, timelines, and the long-term relationships between suppliers and clients.

Decorative tin packaging has been known to mainly be a custom-made product based on the client's requirements. It requires a very flexible manufacturing system with a lot of technical know-how. So a lot of companies rely on imports and the new changes in tariffs simply can’t be ignored. The added cost from tariffs whether they hit raw materials or the finished product can disrupt even a very well-managed supply chain. And if all of your eggs are in one basket? Well, the basket might suddenly cost a lot more or might take a lot longer to arrive.

At Teksan, we have been manufacturing custom tins in Istanbul since 1968 and we have seen this type of disruption before. Over the years we have learned how important it is to stay flexible and plan ahead, especially when things are going really well and not only when they aren’t.

Why It Is Important To Diversify

When a business relies on a single supplier or a region, it may work very well for a while and it is very simple to manage. When things like tariffs, strikes, or shipping delays come into play, there is very little room to maneuver. That is when inventory gets tight, costs go up and customer expectations might not be met.

By working with multiple suppliers across different regions, based on the size of your business obviously, you give yourself options. Based in Turkiye, Teksan offers a strategic alternative to Asia-based suppliers with EU compliance, competitive pricing, and strong logistics connections.

Stability That Goes Beyond The Price

For our tins, we use prime-quality raw materials. After the purchase of raw materials, everything is done on-site. We print, we emboss, we manufacture and we pack our own tins. That means we have better control over timing, quality, and pricing. We don’t depend on third parties and this independence has helped our customers avoid a lot of headaches during global disruptions.

Whether you are sourcing holiday tins, a seasonal promotion, or longer-term product lines, having a partner adjust quickly and deliver consistently has never been more important.

Challenges Bring Opportunities

New tariffs are definitely frustrating at the moment. They are also an opportunity to look into your supply chain and reevaluate it. This is the time to find a partner who can offer both flexibility and experience at the same time.

We work with companies in over 35 countries in Europe, America, and across the Middle East. They come to us not only for tins but for reliability and creative problem-solving.

Let’s talk about keeping your supply chain intact and your products looking great even when the global trade is in turmoil.
