Packaging

No Bashes or Spills!

Paint can be messy and when we started couriers did not want to carry it at all!  So we have spent years developing paint friendly packaging.  We use specially designed inserts and boxes which means our tins are ‘fixed’ in the box.  The inserts also provide a second line of defence against leaky paint as they are effectively a second lid on the tin!  All our packaging may be recycled and it is bio degradable where possible.  So we hope we have done everything to guarantee the safe delivery of your paint.

Check out the list below to see where we source our packaging from, what it is made from and how you can safely recycle/dispose of it.
