Why Dragon & Tiger Essential Balm Uses a Classic Metal Tin

The world has known the little tin of Dragon and Tiger Essential Balm and used it for more than 110 years, as a reliable member of the medicine cabinet and the travel kit. Although there exist a great variety of modern packaging solutions, the decision to use this standard metal container is intentional, as we are fully aware of the needs of our product and also we value the history of our brand. The tin itself is not simply a container but is part of the Dragon and Tiger experience, and is specifically chosen to safeguard, preserve and serve the balm in the same way it has been since 1911.

Tin Packaging Blocks Light and Preserves Volatile Actives

The essence of a necessary balm is dependent on the strength of its volatile, active components, the odorous substances that provide its typical calming effect. These are natural elements that are delicate and susceptible to destruction. Light is one of their main enemies and so are the ultraviolet rays in sunlight which can cause chemical reactions that can decompose these fragile compounds with time.

Here the traditional metal tin proves to be the better in terms of functionality. The opaque tin is used to block light completely, which has guaranteed that the balm at the center remains in the total darkness state until the user opens it. The protection plays a pivotal role in preserving the integrity, aroma and efficacy of the formula. The tin packaging is a critical factor in keeping the balm untouched by the light, thus, guaranteeing that all tins whether bought in Shanghai or shipped to a partner in any part of the world will provide the same quality high-quality experience generations of users have been used to.

Airtight Seal Maintains Potency Over Extended Storage

The other factor that is essential in maintaining the active components of the balm is its contact with air. The volatile compounds which make Dragon and Tiger Essential Balm have the characteristic smell and calming effects may also escape evaporatively unless well closed. Moreover, moisture and other contaminants may be introduced to the air and this may cause changes in the texture and composition of the balm.

The traditional metal tin, having a friction-fit tight lid, offers a very good airtight protection. This seal keeps the freshness in and air out to make a stable micro-environment of the balm. This high-quality seal is one of the main factors that allow Dragon and Tiger Essential Balm to be fully active and have this typical consistency in spite of many years being stored. It makes sure that the product is efficient and still in working condition no matter whether it has been resting on a shelf in the house or going through the various climates in its journey to one of the more than 80 countries where it is trusted. The straightforward, tough work of the tin will ensure that what is contained is as strong as it was when it was created.

Iconic Design Reflects Over 110 Years of Brand Heritage

The metal tin, in addition to its practical advantages, is a strong symbol of the identity of the Dragon & Tiger brand and its long-lasting legacy. This little tin is a constant since Shanghai Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. became the first modernized production of traditional Chinese medicine, over 114 years. Its recognizable form, size and bright graphics with the well-known dragon and tiger are instantly recognizable to millions all over the world.
