Just noticed these holes on the backside of the CCI tins I just got from Academy. Aren’t these tins supposed to be airtight?

Hmm, interesting, the only thing I can think of is they are there as venting in case of a detonation, cook off. Perhaps a legal thing.Just noticed these holes on the backside of the CCI tins I just got from Academy. Aren’t these tins supposed to be airtight?

RWS tins/plastic have had them for years. All to do with being able to open them.Just noticed these holes on the backside of the CCI tins I just got from Academy. Aren’t these tins supposed to be airtight?

Did they come in a plastic blister pack or a carboard box?
Them exploding chips go great with bang bang chicken.It's for atmospheric pressure changes during shipping from different altitudes. Potato chip bags would explode if you shipped them from Death Valley to Denver from the atmospheric pressure changes. When I flew in the air force, we would depressurize for tactical missions and sometimes the chips in our box lunches would explode.
Which would keep them dry and protect t hem from contamination during storage shipping and sale prior to purchase.Blister pack.
Here is the new style altoids tin.I use defarbed tins a lot (paint burned off), and it’s really disappointing how all the good tins that used to be available for recycling are not usable at all.
How am I to use a CCI tin to hold some grease if it has holes in it?
Can’t use Altoid tins anymore since they started embossing their name into the top.
There was a brand of hard candy I used to get that had a nice round tin about 2 1/2” diameter that was awesome, but they switched to plastic.
AARRRRGGGGG!!!
