What Do You Need to Start a Custom Tin Project?

To start a custom tin project, we need a few basic details about your product and packaging requirements. The more information you can provide, the more accurately we can recommend the right tin structure, dimensions, materials, printing, and accessories, and prepare a quotation for your project.

1. Product Information

Tell us what product you plan to package in the tin, including its type, size, weight, and any special packaging requirements. This information helps us determine the appropriate tin dimensions, structure, and inserts for your product.

2. Quantity

Let us know the quantity you plan to order, whether you need an initial sample run or a larger production order. The required quantity helps us determine the appropriate production method, tooling requirements, unit cost, and quotation for your custom tin project.

3. Dimensions and Structure

Provide your preferred tin dimensions and describe how you would like the tin to open, close, and hold your product. If you are not sure about the exact dimensions or structure, we can recommend a suitable solution based on your product size, capacity, and packaging requirements.

4.Artwork

Provide your artwork or packaging design for the custom tin, preferably in an editable vector format such as AI, EPS, or PDF. Our team can review the artwork for printing requirements and help ensure that the design fits the tin structure and printable areas correctly.

5.Printing and Finishing

Let us know your printing and finishing requirements, including your artwork, logo, colors, and preferred surface finish. We can help determine suitable printing methods and finishes, such as matte, gloss, metallic effects, embossing, and debossing, to achieve the desired appearance for your custom tins.

6. Inserts and Accessories

Let us know if your product requires inserts or other accessories inside the tin. Depending on your product and packaging requirements, we can provide custom plastic trays, paper inserts, dividers, product holders, and other components to keep the contents organized, protected, and securely in place.

Custom Tin Tooling and Prototype Development

For custom tin shapes and structures, tooling and prototype development may be required before mass production. We develop the necessary tooling and create prototypes or samples to verify the tin’s dimensions, structure, appearance, and functionality before moving forward with final production.

When Does a Custom Tin Require New Tooling?
New tooling is required when you need a custom tin size or structure that is not available from our existing tooling. If your required size matches one of our existing tins, new tooling may not be necessary.
Handmade Prototype
Handmade prototypes help verify the custom tin’s size, structure, and appearance before tooling and mass production.
Custom Tooling Development
Custom tooling typically costs around US$5,000–7,000, with a lead time of approximately 30 working days, depending on the tin’s design and structure.
Final Sample Confirmation
We provide a final sample for your approval, allowing you to confirm the tin’s dimensions, structure, printing, finish, and overall appearance before mass production.

From Custom Tin Sample to Mass Production

Once the custom tin sample meets your requirements, we move forward with mass production. We confirm the final specifications and sample approval before production, then carry out quality checks throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the finished tins match the approved sample and agreed requirements.

Sample Inspection
We inspect the final sample to confirm its dimensions, structure, printing, finish, and overall quality.
Customer Approval
After sample inspection, we send the final sample for your approval before starting mass production.
Quality Inspection
We inspect the finished tins during and after production to ensure they meet the approved sample and agreed quality standards.

Production

Once the sample is approved, we proceed with mass production according to the confirmed specifications and approved artwork.
