Tin boxes are made from tinplate steel - a material that blocks moisture, resists crushing, and holds its shape through shipping, stacking, and retail handling. Your product arrives exactly the way you packed it.
⭐
Packaging That Sells on the Shelf
A printed tin box commands attention. The metallic surface holds full-color lithography, embossed logos, and premium finishes that paper and cardboard simply cannot replicate. Customers pick up tins. They keep them.
🍃
100% Recyclable and Responsible
Tinplate has one of the highest recycling rates of any packaging material — over 90% globally. When your customers reuse your tin box for storage, they carry your brand into their daily lives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Tin Boxes
What is the minimum order quantity for custom tin boxes?
Our standard minimum starts at 50 units for most styles using existing mold sizes. For fully custom dimensions, minimums start at 100–500 units. We accommodate sample orders for product testing. Contact us and we'll find a practical path forward.
Are custom tin boxes food safe?
Yes. All food-contact tins from Urgent Custom Boxes use food-grade tinplate with an FDA-compliant food-grade lacquer interior coating. This prevents metal-to-food interaction, moisture transfer, and corrosion. Our materials are BPA-free.
How long does it take to produce custom tin boxes?
Standard production completes in 10–14 business days from artwork approval. Rush production is available for urgent orders. Contact our team before placing a rush order to confirm capacity.
Can I print my logo on custom tin boxes?
Yes. We print logos, brand names, barcodes, and regulatory text on all tin surfaces using offset lithography, screen printing, or digital printing. Full 360-degree print coverage is available on round and cylindrical tin formats.
What is the difference between a hinged tin and a sliding lid tin?
A hinged tin has an attached lid that opens like a book, closing with a snap or friction fit. A sliding lid tin (drawer tin) has a sleeve that slides over an inner tray. Hinged tins suit gift and food packaging. Sliding lids are preferred by cannabis, cosmetic, and pharma brands.
Do you offer child-resistant tin boxes for cannabis packaging?
Yes. Our CRC tin closures use multi-step mechanisms that meet CPSC regulations and state cannabis packaging requirements. Available in sliding drawer, screw-top, and push-and-turn configurations. Over 80% of children under five cannot open them within five minutes.
Are tin boxes recyclable and eco-friendly?
Tinplate carries a global recycling rate over 90% - among the highest of any packaging material. Unlike single-use plastic, tinplate recycles indefinitely without quality loss. Many customers reuse tin boxes for storage, extending your brand's daily visibility.
Do you offer free design support?
Yes. Every order includes free dieline templates, a free digital proof, and access to our in-house design team for artwork creation or adjustment. We accept AI, EPS, PDF, and PNG files. Artwork corrections are handled at no extra charge.
What sizes are available for custom tin boxes?
We produce small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes across all tin styles. Custom sizes are available for brands with specific dimension requirements - provide your product dimensions and we engineer the tin around your product.
Do you ship custom tin boxes across the USA?
Yes. We ship to all 50 US states. Qualifying wholesale orders ship free. For large volumes we offer freight shipping and blanket order programmes - place one order, draw inventory over 6–12 months at a locked unit price.
