Oval Mini Tin Box for Food, Candy Storage

An oval mini tin box makes small food and candy storage feel gift-worthy. The pocket-size oval format holds candies, mints, pills, nuts and small treats, keeping them fresh and intact while the charming shape encourages customers to keep and refill it. Confectionery brands and gift companies use oval mini tins for favors, samples and impulse-buy lines.

Food safety is built in: the body is food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for direct contact with candies and snacks. The snug lid keeps contents secure in pockets and bags, and the flat oval face takes crisp custom printing. Most mini sizes exist in our mold library without tooling cost.

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.
