Decoration Design Customer Service Sustainability Metal adds versatility and distinction to brands Metal packaging Consider its environmental credentials. Metal is permanently recyclable. When a metal product reaches the end of its useful life, it is recycled infinitely and therefore its value is retained forever. Metal packaging is also universally recognised for its protective qualities and versatility, providing infinite design opportunities like no other material. It’s unbreakable, withstands extreme temperatures and pressure, provides a total barrier against light and oxygen and is impermeable. It requires no refrigeration and is tamper-proof meaning nothing protects a product like metal.
