By referring to these types of tins all of them as very similar circular and long. Whilst the design atheistic are very simple and contemporary expect to the Betty's design which has more traditional patterns and illustrations. The only difference of these tins are the Selfridges packaging is made of paper or fabric material thus giving the design a more of a luxury approach. These design aspects are to be considered while designing, despite the design factor there is not much variety of a secondary/multi-usage when the content of the tin is finished. This is another element of the tin that needs to be consider when the consumer purchases the product. The main audience of this kind of product are tea/coffee lovers it is significant to cater for their preference this maybe of functionality, materials, distribution, multi-usages and design.
Colours of the tins can also be a big factor on how it attracts the consumers attention, patterns, shapes, illustrations are a very common theme for high end tea and coffee tins. Thus this is another consideration to think about in the design process of the tea design.
