Decorative Metal Tin Boxes for Packaging and Storage

A decorative metal tin box turns packaging into storage customers keep long after the product is gone. This slim flat tin (132 x 82 x 19 mm) suits gift cards, photos, stationery, sewing kits and small keepsakes, protecting contents while looking beautiful on a desk or shelf. Brands use decorative tins to add perceived value to gift sets and limited editions.

The body is sturdy 0.23 mm tinplate, food-grade with an optional food-grade interior lacquer if you plan to pack edibles. Size, lid style and interior fittings can all be tailored, and foam or paper cushion pads keep delicate contents in place. Many decorative sizes already exist in our mold library, so tooling cost is usually avoidable.

We print directly on the tinplate using CMYK offset printing with oil-based inks, with Pantone spot colors (Pantone Metallic included) for exact brand matching. A glossy finish gives maximum color vibrancy; a matte finish feels more refined and shows fewer fingerprints. Embossing and debossing are available to give your branding a tactile edge.

Tin Men has been manufacturing tin packaging for over 17 years. Our factory keeps more than 2,000 existing molds in stock and produces 3,000,000 cans every month. Orders built on an existing mold start at just 5,000 pieces; a completely new size is also possible, but it involves custom tooling, a higher minimum order and additional mold cost. If one of our 2,000+ molds fits your product, it will save you both time and money — and custom samples are ready in 12~15 days.
