Product Overview

About Tins and Metal Containers

Custom tins and metal containers are rigid, infinitely recyclable primary and gift packages stamped from 0.21mm to 0.28mm food-grade electrolytic tinplate steel and seamless drawn aluminum. Coated internally with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 compliant BPA-Non-Intent (BPA-NI) gold or clear epoxy-phenolic lacquer to prevent corrosion and flavor transfer, they feature direct 4-color metal offset lithography and multi-level 3D lid embossing. Wholesale orders start at 250 units from $0.85/unit with 10–14 business day turnaround and Always Free DDP Shipping.

Custom tins and metal containers combine hermetic light, oxygen, and moisture barrier protection with permanent keepsake value that consumers reuse long after the product is finished. Stamped on high-precision progressive dies from 0.21mm to 0.28mm prime electrolytic tinplate (ETP) or deep-drawn seamless aluminum, our metal containers feature rolled safety curls on all exposed edges and tight-tolerance lid closures that lock in volatile essential oils, loose-leaf tea aromas, poured candle wax, and delicate confectionery.

Closure Architectures, Food-Safe Linings & Metal Decoration

Unlike paperboard boxes that rely on adhesive labels, custom metal tins can be printed directly onto the bare or white-basecoated steel sheet via UV metal offset lithography before stamping:

  • Seamless Deep-Drawn & Three-Piece Seamed Styles: Choose seamless aluminum screw-top salve/candle tins (1 oz to 16 oz), rectangular hinged-lid pocket tins, slip-cover tea and cookie canisters with stepped plug lids, or ASTM D3475 child-resistant push-and-snap tins.
  • FDA BPA-NI Internal Barrier Lacquers: Food-contact gold, clear, or white internal coatings prevent citric acid, water, or candle fragrance oils from oxidizing the metal wall.
  • 3D Multi-Level Lid Embossing & Debossing: Custom steel embossing dies raise your logo and intricate filigree patterns up to 1.5mm in tactile metallic relief.

Wholesale Production, Custom Inserts & Always Free DDP Shipping

Pair your custom tins with die-cut EVA foam, velvet-flocked VAC trays, or molded paper pulp inserts and outer retail sleeves. Wholesale orders start at 250 units from $0.85/unit with 10–14 business day turnaround, Always Free DDP Shipping, and our 30-Day Free Reprint & Return Guarantee.
