Vintage Cylinder Tin with Lid

A vintage cylinder tin with lid gives heritage brands the packaging their story deserves. This tall lidded tin (dia 89 x 220 mm) holds generous fills of cookies, tea, coffee or confectionery, and its classic proportions pair beautifully with retro artwork, muted palettes and metallic accents. It is a favorite for anniversary editions, gift lines and old-world brand revivals.

Behind the vintage look is modern food safety: the body is food-grade 0.23 mm tinplate with an optional food-grade interior lacquer for direct food contact. Diameter, height and lid style can be tailored, and with more than 2,000 molds in our library, most vintage-style dimensions are available without new tooling.

We print directly on the tinplate using CMYK offset printing with oil-based inks, with Pantone spot colors (Pantone Metallic included) for exact brand matching. A glossy finish gives maximum color vibrancy; a matte finish feels more refined and shows fewer fingerprints. Embossing and debossing are available to give your branding a tactile edge.

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.
