Custom Spherical Chocolate Tin Boxes for Holiday Gift Packaging

A custom spherical chocolate tin box is the holiday showpiece that stops shoppers mid-aisle. This ball-shaped tin (152 x 152 mm) holds truffles, pralines or assorted chocolates and doubles as a hanging ornament or table decoration — packaging that becomes part of the celebration. Chocolatiers and gift brands use it for Christmas, Easter and Lunar New Year editions.

Chocolate demands proper materials: the body is food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for direct contact, protecting contents from light, heat transfer and moisture. Foam inserts can cradle individual pieces. The spherical form takes full-wrap printing beautifully, and Pantone Metallic inks make festive artwork shimmer.

Your artwork is applied with CMYK offset printing using oil-based inks, and we can match Pantone spot colors — including Pantone Metallic — for precise branding. Choose a glossy varnish if you want colors to pop on the shelf, or a matte varnish for a softer, more understated feel. Logo embossing is available as a finishing touch.

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.
