</p><p>In 1810, Frenchman <a href="Philippe_de_Girard" title="Philippe de Girard">Philippe de Girard</a> came to London and used British merchant <a href="Peter_Durand" title="Peter Durand">Peter Durand</a> as an agent to patent his own idea for a process for making <a href="Tin_can" class="mw-redirect" title="Tin can">tin cans</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The canning concept was based on experimental <a href="Food_preservation" title="Food preservation">food preservation</a> work in glass containers the year before by the French inventor <a href="Nicholas_Appert" class="mw-redirect" title="Nicholas Appert">Nicholas Appert</a>. Durand did not pursue food canning, but, in 1812, sold his patent to two Englishmen, <a href="Bryan_Donkin" title="Bryan Donkin">Bryan Donkin</a> and John Hall, who refined the process and product, and set up the world's first commercial canning factory on Southwark Park Road, London. By 1813 they were producing their first tin canned goods for the <a href="Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a>.
</p><p>For transportation of goods on a larger scale, larger containers remained a problem, as customs officials inspecting imports had to deal with a lack of standardization in this field, and because predominantly wooden containers in use well into the twentieth century were prone to leaking or breaking.<sup id="cite_ref-Chains_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chains-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The standardized steel <a href="Shipping_container" title="Shipping container">shipping container</a> was developed in the 1950s, and quickly became ubiquitous for the large-scale transportation of commercial goods.
</p><p>Towards the end of the Twentieth century, the introduction of <a href="Computer-aided_design" title="Computer-aided design">computer-aided design</a> made it possible to design highly specialized containers and container arrangements, and also to make form-fitting labels for containers of unusual shapes.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
