Tin Boxes Jars Unique Design Metal Empty Round Circle .35mm

Round tin boxes and jars pressed from food grade tinplate in thicknesses from 0.23mm to 0.35mm, printed by silk screen, CMYK, laser or 3D methods. Lids are supplied hinged or as a removable slip lid, and the body can be round or any custom shape, although a new shape requires new moulds. Cosmetic, candle, tea, biscuit and confectionery brands order them as gift packaging, candle tins, tea canisters and pill boxes, in custom sizes to their own product.

Key Benefits

What This Product Gives You

  • Food grade tinplate means the same box can hold tea, chocolate or biscuits without a separate liner
  • Thicknesses from 0.23mm to 0.35mm let you add rigidity where a large biscuit tin needs it and save cost on a small pill box
  • Hinged and slip lid options match how often the customer will open the pack
  • CMYK, silk screen, laser and 3D printing cover both photographic artwork and simple metallic branding
  • Recyclable and reusable metal packaging keeps a container in the customer's home rather than the bin
  • Standard round sizes avoid the new mould cost that a custom shape brings

Comparison

Compared With the Alternatives

AlternativeHow This Compares
Glass candle jarsTinplate will not break in transit and weighs less to ship, though glass shows the wax and reads as more premium on a shelf
Paperboard gift boxesA tin protects contents from damp and is reused, while card is cheaper and prints photographic artwork more easily
Plastic cosmetic jarsTinplate is recyclable and rigid, but plastic can be moulded with threaded closures that metal cannot match
Use Guide

Getting the Best Result

  • Supply artwork as PDF, AI, PSD or JPEG at 300dpi minimum with fonts outlined
  • Pick a standard round size where possible, since a custom shape requires new moulds
  • Choose 0.35mm for larger biscuit and gift tins, 0.23mm where the box is small and pocket sized
  • Specify hinged lids for packs opened daily and slip lids for sealed gift packaging
  • Keep full colour and special finishes to the areas that need them, as they add cost
  • Order in larger quantities where possible, since unit cost falls significantly with volume
Answers

Tin Boxes Jars Unique Design Metal Empty Round Circle .35mm FAQ

What thickness are the tins?

0.23mm to 0.35mm. Heavier gauges suit large gift and biscuit tins, lighter gauges suit small pocket boxes.

Is the tinplate safe for food?

Food grade tinplate is used, which is why the same tins are supplied for tea, chocolate, biscuits and candy.

Can I get a shape other than round?

Yes, custom shapes are accepted. A new shape requires new moulds, which adds cost to the first order.

What lid types are available?

A hinged lid, or a removable slip lid for easier access on canisters and gift tins.

How is the artwork printed?

Silk screen printing, CMYK, laser or 3D printing depending on whether the design is photographic or a simple brand mark.

What tolerance applies?

0.35mm on the formed dimensions, which should be allowed for when sizing contents or inserts.

How can I reduce the unit cost?

Order in larger quantities, choose a standard size rather than a new mould, and keep full colour and special finishes to the areas that need them.
