Custom Mini Metal Tins for Candy, Mint & Small Products

Custom mini metal tins are the small-format packaging that big brands rely on for mints, candy, pills and small products. This slim tin (89 x 38 x 19 mm) slides into pockets and handbags, keeps contents fresh and intact, and carries full branding on every panel. Candy brands, pharmaceutical companies and promotional product buyers use mini tins for retail lines, samples and giveaways.

The body is sturdy 0.23 mm food-grade tinplate with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for direct contact with mints and candy. The tight-fitting lid keeps contents secure through shipping and daily carry. Size and closure can be tailored, and with 2,000+ molds in our library, most mini formats are available 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.

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.
