The Ultimate Unique Gift!

CUSTOMIZE YOUR PURCHASE WITH A GIFT MESSAGE!
The Detroit Can Company was founded in 1890, according to an article in the The Detroit Free Press, describing "a crying necessity" for a local source of metal paint and varnish cans. The American Can Company was formed in 1901, and acquired the Detroit Can Company located at 1400 Trombly, Detroit. Over 120 years later, the new Detroit Can Company was proudly formed to introduce an exciting new concept in gift giving.

FROM OUR CUSTOMERS ...
Shipping ...
- Shipping is provided by UPS from our warehouse @ 33081 W. 8 Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan.

- Shipping costs are processed automatically with a discounted UPS rate using package weight, distance traveled and size of boxes.
Life happens …
We were running a family fundraising business for many years, traveling throughout Michigan working with many incredible organizations. We hosted hundreds of these events that helped many different charities and then Covid changed everything. Because these were congregating events in public places everything came to a screeching halt and the months began to add up.
It was time for us to start something new…
Through the many years of sourcing unique gifts, we have built many fantastic relationships with incredible people that have creative and amazing ideas. Detroit Can Company was built with the ever-evolving goal of finding new and exciting items that allow our customers to feel that they are giving gifts that are well thought out.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to earn your business!
All the best!
