Small Tin Containers are compact tinplate metal boxes, custom-printed in full color for brands packing balms, mints, samples, and small retail goods. They suit cosmetics, food, and specialty makers who need a sturdy, pocket-friendly container that protects its contents.

A snug slip lid keeps small items secure and lets customers reopen the container again and again, which is why so many of these tins get reused for travel and storage. That reuse keeps your printed logo in circulation. A lip balm brand, for instance, can pack salve in a printed tin that customers toss in a bag and refill mentally with your name.

Small Tin Containers - Materials & Specifications

  • Material: tinplate metal
  • Printing: full-color CMYK
  • Lid styles: slip lid or hinged lid
  • Finishing: printed lid, embossed lid

Best Used For

  • Lip balm, salves, and solid cosmetics
  • Mints, pastilles, and small candy
  • Product samples and trial sizes
  • Pins, jewelry, and small accessories

Printing & Finishing

Wrap the lid and body in full-color CMYK so even a small footprint carries your full brand. Add an embossed lid for a raised logo, or choose a hinged lid for a container that stays attached and easy to reopen.
