Cylinder Tin with Lid

A slim cylinder tin with lid turns everyday dry goods into gift-worthy packaging. This lidded round tin (dia 52 x 160 mm) suits tea, biscuits, rolled wafers and small gift sets, and its tall, narrow profile gives shelves a distinctive vertical accent. Food brands and gift companies use it for retail lines, holiday editions and sampler sets.

The tin is made from food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate, with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for direct food contact. Lid style, diameter and height are customizable, and because this model is one of more than 2,000 existing molds, most similar sizes are available without tooling cost.

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. Paper cushion or foam inserts can be added for delicate contents.

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.
