Dolphin-shaped gift box

A dolphin shaped gift box turns packaging into the present itself. The playful silhouette delights children and gift buyers, making it perfect for candies, small toys, jewelry and keepsakes — and the tin is kept as a decoration long after the contents are gone. Gift brands, aquariums, zoos and tourist shops use novelty shaped tins for merchandise and souvenir lines.

Novelty shapes demand manufacturing experience: the dolphin form is made from sturdy 0.23 mm food-grade tinplate with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for edible contents, and custom printing brings the shape to life with color and character details. Our mold library includes many novelty shapes — tell us your idea and we will check for the closest match.

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 30 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.
