What kind of material are these tins made from?

"Tins" pretty well describes them, really steel pressed into shape. Nice fitting, but tight for spice containers as we do.

Plastic. There is one made by Roland which comes in a metal tin. Haven't seen many in glass, unfortunately.

The material seems to be either plastic or nylon. They may not hold up in boiling water.

They're made of dark, nonstick metal -- like those baking pans. Work great!

The handle is metal. The tines (tynes??) are metal. The red thing at the bottom that fits on the handle and holds the tines is plastic.

They are made out of something other than ordinary plastic. Silicon is my best guess, they era so flimsy and difficult to handle I can't recommend them. If bpa is what you find in the cheapest of products...my guess is it's in these items.

I think it is tin. It's not heavy duty; it is lightweight but it does the job.

They appear to be injection-molded resin. They seem pretty solid/not flimsy. As I don't use them I can't vouch for this.

Seriously? I destroyed the box, so I don't know. The tins come in a box that's packed into another box.

I threw away the box but they are tin---made exactly like mason jars but with a hole for the straw.

i'd say it was tin...just like the old fashioned ones. i keep mine in a ziploc bag to avoid a flour mess, but it also prevents the tin from rusting. for the money...one is all you will ever need in a lifetime.

Hi, I just checked the glitter and it is so fine that I really cannot tell what it's made of. I've always assumed it's a tin metal. I rubbed in my fingers and the pieces are so tiny that it almost looks like fairy dust. Love it!

these are plastic, Lara. Sorry i missed this when it came in, I was in China. These mugs are good value, I use them a few times per week.

I don't think so. They're very thin and lightweight. Either tin or aluminum.

Looks like tin made of aluminum, it doesn't say anything on the actual label. You can contact them directly for answer, check web latourangelle.com for phone number and contact via email link.

They are a very heavy material, ceramic or maybe resin. They are very sturdy and duradurable. I love them!

I agree with Alex....some kind of metal...they are not the plastic ones. I am still looking for the 1 piece metal for wide mouth jars if anyone finds them. I am using them for left over paint...what a great idea.
