Elegant Custom Tea Tins for Gift Packaging

Elegant custom tea tins turn a simple tea gift into something worth keeping. This low-profile round tin (dia 85 x 41 mm) presents loose-leaf teas, tea bags and flowering teas beautifully, and it slips easily into gift boxes and hamper sets. Tea brands, gift companies and corporate buyers choose it for holiday editions and premium private-label lines.

Customization starts with size and material. This model is one of more than 2,000 molds in our library, so most dimensions are available without new tooling. The body is made from food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate, and the interior can be lined with a food-grade lacquer that prevents corrosion and stops the metal from reacting with your tea — a must for long shelf life.

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. Foam or food-grade paper cushion inserts are available to hold sachets or accessories neatly in place.

We have been making tin boxes for more than 17 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.
