Phil has always had a special admiration for some of these painterly relics &#8211; and with Dean&#8217;s love for typography, they&#8217;re a design\u00a0team&#8217;s\u00a0dream!<\/p>\n<p>Tin advertising first appeared on signage and packaging at the start of the 19th century in America. Back then, each piece of tin was hand painted, meaning that they were fairy costly to produce. It was the lithograph that changed the face of this process however, as industrialisation rumbled on,\u00a0paper became the preferred option for advertising. At this time, most food products came in tin-plated packaging, which was then adorned with labels that had either been stencilled or printed onto paper. As the century progressed, tin signs were painted, stencilled and lithographed &#8211; creating durable, vibrant advertising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/typehunting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3999 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mzuridesign.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/TBT_Vintage_Packaging_Blog.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Packaging Design\" width=\"715\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/TBT_Vintage_Packaging_Blog.jpg 715w, https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/TBT_Vintage_Packaging_Blog-300x126.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nImages courtesy of Jonathan Lawrence, <a href=\"http:\/\/typehunting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">typehunting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These revolutionary processes\u00a0challenged and transformed typography &#8211; bringing about much of the brand imagery that we know and love today.
