Custom Sweet Tin Box

A custom sweet tin box does something no plastic bag can: it makes sweets feel special and keeps the tin — and your brand — in the home for years. Hard candies, toffees, bonbons and sugar-free sweets all stay fresh behind a tight lid, while the printed tin becomes a keepsake customers refill and reuse. Sweet brands use tins for gift lines, heritage ranges and travel retail.

The body is food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for direct contact with sweets — important for sugar-based products. Round, square, heart and novelty shapes are all available, and most sweet tin sizes exist in our 2,000+ mold library without tooling cost.

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.

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.
