Updated June 30, 2026 · Teal Packaging operates a US facility in West Chicago, Illinois.

Custom tin boxes are durable metal containers, typically made from tinplate (steel coated with a thin layer of tin), that pair a sturdy body with a close-fitting lid. They give small products a premium, reusable home that holds up far better than a folding carton. Brands reach for tin packaging when they want something customers keep on a shelf long after the contents are gone, turning everyday packaging into a lasting brand touchpoint.

The tinplate body is rigid, dent-resistant, and built for repeated opening and closing. Tinplate is also a recyclable material option where applicable, so it can fit into a thoughtful packaging program. Metal lends itself to clean print results: artwork can be applied in full-color custom print directly on the surface, and you can layer effects like matte or gloss varnish, embossing, and spot detailing to add depth and texture.

We produce tin boxes in formats and lid styles to match your product, then wrap the design across the lid, sides, and base for a fully branded look. Free design help is included on every order, so our team can refine your artwork, set up the print file, and confirm how colors and finishes will read on metal before anything goes to production.

  • Formats: rectangular, square, and round profiles
  • Lids: hinged, slip-on, slide-top, or screw-top
  • Print: full-color custom print applied directly to the metal
  • Finishes: matte or gloss varnish, embossing, and spot detailing

Custom tin boxes suit candles, balms and salves, cosmetics, jewelry, small hardware, gift sets, and promotional kits. They are a strong choice for subscription brands, makers selling at markets and online, and companies assembling premium corporate gifts. The weight and finish of metal signal quality the moment a customer picks the box up.

As a US custom-packaging manufacturer, Teal Packaging makes custom tin boxes accessible at a low minimum order of 50 units, with volume pricing from $0.44 per unit as quantities grow. Every order includes free design support and ships with free US shipping. Standard production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with longer timelines for complex or high-volume orders. Request a quote with your size, lid style, and artwork, and we will help you bring a polished metal package to market.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Tin Boxes

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom tin boxes requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
