Yes, everything was in boxes...and if you read my earlier post some of the tins had no labels on them......so it was pot luck if you bought those......you could be on prunes and custard or tinned steak...sardines and corned beef were a fairly safe bet though. The tins without labels were very cheap though. I think that is what my mum used to go in his shop for...to rummage among the bargains.
