В 1877 году был запатентован метод литографской печати на металле, и в конце 19 века появилась металлические коробочки с красивыми рисунками, их обычно покупали, как подарок и потом использовали для всяких мелочей.

Very Old French Biscuit Tin, Biscuiterie De Bretagne

Vintage Unidentified Biscuit Tin, Chess Game
This early biscuit tin is not marked. It has all the appearances of a very early 1900's tin. The top is lithographed with a chess game. This is probably a famous painting of an old master, but I have not found it as yet. The clasp on this tin is unusual.

The British biscuit tin came about when the Licensed Grocer's Act of 1861 allowed groceries to be individually packaged and sold. Coinciding with the removal of the duty on paper for printed labels. It was only a short step to the idea of printing directly on to tinplate. The new process of offset lithography, patented in 1877 allowed multicoloured designs to be printed on to exotically shaped tins.
The most exotic designs were produced in the early years of the 20th century, just prior to the First World War. In the 1920s and 1930s, costs had risen substantially and the design of biscuit tins tended to be more conservative, with the exception of the tins targeted at the Christmas market and intended to appeal primarily to children. The designs, generally speaking are a barometer of popular interests.
