When will your custom tin boxes be ready? The honest answer depends on your design and order size — but our process is built for speed at every step. Here is exactly how the timeline works, from first inquiry to delivery.
The Timeline, Step by Step
1. Sampling: 12~15 Days
Once your design and structure are confirmed, a custom sample is ready in 12~15 days. With more than 2,000 existing molds in our library, most sizes are sampled directly from existing tooling — no waiting for a new mold to be made.
2. Mass Production: Confirmed at Quotation
Production lead time for your bulk order depends on the quantity, structure complexity and finishing requirements of your project. Rather than quote a generic number, we confirm the exact production schedule with your quotation — and we stick to it.
3. Packing & Shipping
Finished goods are packed in opp bags and export cartons (palletized shipment available) and dispatched by sea, air or international express according to your schedule. See our Packaging & Shipping page for details.
Why Our Lead Time Is Reliable
A schedule is only as good as the factory behind it. Ours is built for on-time delivery:
- 2,000+ existing molds — most projects skip tooling time entirely
- 20 production lines — capacity is never a bottleneck for standard orders
- 3,000,000 cans per month — from 5,000-piece trial orders to multi-container programs
- 30 years of experience — we plan seasonal production backward from your in-store date
Planning a Seasonal Launch?
Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Halloween and other seasonal windows are fixed dates — tell us your in-store date as early as possible, and we will plan sampling, production and shipping backward from it.
