Today, Great Western Containers is the largest distributor of ‘general line’ metal cans in Canada.  We stock a wide range of general line tin cans including round paint style cans with plug style closures (125 ml to 1 US gallon sizes).  We also carry 250 ml through 4 litre rectangular or oblong style cans with screw cap closures.  Interior linings for food or water-based coatings are available, as are UN applications and UN cartons for gallon cans.

Our tin cans are great for storage and shipping of solvents, paints, inks, food products, novelty items – you name it, we can contain it!

Slipcover cans are primarily used for inks or dry goods and are supplied in sizes ranging from half to 5 kg.  Slipcover cans are available at all locations.
