How much does each tin hold?

Our spice tins are sized by volume.  Spices are sold by their Net Weight.  These two measurements are very different and do not relate to each other.

Example:  The bottle show in the upper right corner is a 1.4 oz. bottle of Poultry Seasoning.  Beside it is a 2 oz. Applause spice tin.  It is obvious that the contents of the bottle will not fit in the tin.  So 1.4 oz. in weight does not correlate to 2 oz. of volume.

So how do I figure out what size tins I need?

Pour the contents of one of your full grocery store spice into a dry measuring cup.  Generally speaking, it will be 3/4 cup of spice.  So if you purchase most of your spices in the grocery store and you don't want to have some of your spices in your new tins and some of your spices still taking up room in your cabinet, then purchase at least 6 oz. tins.  Our 6 oz. tins hold approximately 3/4 cup--the perfect size for pouring an entire grocery store bottle into it.

If you purchase your spices in small amounts at a health food store or a grocery store with bulk spices, then 2 oz. and 4 oz. tins are just right for your needs. 

All of our spice tins are manufactured of Food Grade tin-plated steel with a Food Grade lacquer coating to prevent oxidation of the tin.   The clear lid for the Applause tins is Food Grade Polystyrol.  

Every tin, except the Tea Tin, is seamless. The Tea Tin is a welded seam tin.
