Custom Candle Tin Packaging for Scented Candles

Custom candle tin packaging helps scented candle brands stand out in a crowded market. This round tin (dia 65 x 40 mm, with a 47 mm height option) is sized for travel candles, samples and gift sets, and its smooth body gives your label design a clean, uninterrupted canvas. Candle makers, home-fragrance brands and promotional gift companies use it for retail lines as well as seasonal editions.

Every dimension can be tailored to your fill weight. This model comes from a library of more than 2,000 existing molds, so most diameters and heights are available without new tooling. The tin is made from 0.23 mm food-grade tinplate, and an interior lacquer coating is available to protect the metal from fragrance oils over time. Foam inserts can be added to hold candles securely inside gift sets.

Your artwork is applied with CMYK offset printing using oil-based inks, and we can match Pantone spot colors — including Pantone Metallic — for precise branding. Choose a glossy varnish if you want colors to pop on the shelf, or a matte varnish for a softer, more understated feel. Logo embossing is available as a finishing touch.

We have been making tin boxes for more than 30 years, with 2,000+ molds on the shelf and a monthly capacity of 3,000,000 cans. Choosing an existing mold keeps your MOQ at 5,000 pieces and your lead time short. Developing a brand-new size means new tooling, a higher MOQ and extra mold fees, so it is usually worth checking our mold library first. Custom samples take 12~15 days.

This model is dia 65 x 40 mm with a 47 mm height option. With 2,000+ existing molds, we cover many other diameters and heights without new tooling.

Q: Can I print my logo and choose a finish?
Yes. We offer CMYK offset printing and Pantone spot colors including Pantone Metallic. A glossy finish makes colors more vivid; a matte finish gives a subtler, more premium look.
