Custom Cookie Tins are printed tinplate metal containers built for bakeries, holiday gift programs, and food brands that want a reusable package customers keep on the shelf. Every tin is custom-printed in full color so your artwork wraps the lid and body.
A sturdy metal tin protects fragile cookies and treats in transit better than a folding carton, and the printed lid turns a simple gift into something memorable. Reach buyers reorder seasonal tins year after year, which makes them a strong pick for limited-run holiday assortments, corporate gifting, and subscription dessert boxes.

Planning a Wholesale Cookie Tin Run
Tins are tooled goods, so shell shape is the first commitment. Round shells are the most widely stocked and the cheapest route to a custom look; square and rectangular shells cost more to draw but stack tighter on a shelf. Artwork is lithographed onto the metal before forming, which means color placement has to account for the draw. Interior lacquer is specified by coating type.
| Tins per order | Shell, lid and artwork guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Smallest run that still carries printed metal. |
| 500 | One shell size with a full wrap litho design. |
| 1,000 | Slip lid and hinged lid variants from one artwork set. |
| 5,000 | Embossing on the lid becomes worth the tooling. |
| 10,000+ | Retail program scale from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Metal work is rarely quick: reserve about 7 business days when a tin qualifies as in-house eligible, and assume about 12 weeks for specialty imported shells, which is the more common route. Hold each loosely while you plan. Free dieline work covers the flat artwork layout before the shell is drawn.
Quote requests need shell shape, capacity, lid style, interior coating, artwork colors, and order size.
