Best Cylinder Tin

A slim cylinder tin is one of the most elegant ways to package specialty products. This tall round tin (dia 40 x 160 mm) suits single-serve treats, rolled wafers, tea sticks and gift items, and its clean vertical lines give any design a premium, bottle-like presence on the shelf. Brands use it for gift editions, promotional sets and high-end retail lines.

Customization covers size, material and structure. The body is food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate, and an optional food-grade interior lacquer prevents corrosion and any reaction with edible contents. This model comes from our library of more than 2,000 existing molds, so most cylinder diameters and heights are available without new tooling.

Printing is handled in-house with CMYK offset printing and oil-based inks; Pantone spot colors, including Pantone Metallic, are available when your brand needs an exact match. As a rule of thumb, a glossy finish makes printed colors look brighter and more saturated, while a matte finish reads subtler and more premium. Embossing or debossing adds a tactile accent to your logo. Foam or paper cushion inserts can hold fragile contents upright and secure.

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.
