About Us

A Factory-Direct Tin Can Manufacturer, Not a Trading Intermediary

DOLYPACK sells directly from its production floor, without a trading company or broker between your order and the factory. Dedicated lines cover aluminum forming, tinplate forming, printing, and final assembly.


With more than a decade of specialization in aluminum and tinplate, DOLYPACK offers a catalog buyers can start from. Orders ship to 80-plus countries. Floor area, line allocation, and current capacity vary by season and decoration method, so confirm them with your project quote.

Materials

Choosing Between Aluminum and Tinplate

Both metals recycle indefinitely and form a natural barrier against moisture and oxidation, but the right pick depends on fill weight and how the container gets used:

  • Aluminum

    Suits lighter fills and finer deep-draw shapes — cosmetics jars, lip balms, and candle vessels benefit from its lower weight and smoother finish. See how it's applied in cosmetics packaging and candle packaging.

  • Tinplate

    Holds up better under higher fill volumes and pressure — edible oil, powders, and sealed actives typically ship in tinplate for its rigidity and compatibility with degassing valves and tamper seals. See food packaging and pharmaceutical packaging uses.

  • Pet product packaging

    Treats, supplements, grooming balms — draws on either material depending on fill weight and shelf display; see pet product packaging.

For strength, weight, and recyclability trade-offs in more depth, see how tinplate and aluminum compare, how recyclable metal stacks up against plastic, and the eco-focused case for aluminum tins.

Technical Specifications & Export Packing

Finish and coating options include matte, glossy, frosted, metallic effect, lacquering, and anodizing. Interior lacquer and liner options, including food-contact-grade linings for edible oil and powder cans, vary by product line.

Request market-specific documentation and test reports before placing a production order. Wall thickness, dimensional tolerances, and SKU drawings are listed in Aluminum Tins — 2026 Technical Specifications. Export carton and pallet configurations are confirmed per order in Export Packing & Shipping Options.

Quality Control & Sampling

Every order passes through a 6-step quality-control process, from raw material inspection to final inspection before shipment. Before mass production, the main checkpoints are artwork review, color matching, and a physical sample run.

This helps identify print mismatches or lid-fit issues before volume production. Request an aluminum tin free sample to check color, wall thickness, and lid fit.

QUICK ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a custom tin can made?
Yes. DOLYPACK offers full OEM/ODM customization covering structure, printing, finish, and accessories, and several decoration methods — labels, screen printing, laser marking, embossing — carry no minimum order quantity.
How are tin cans manufactured?
Metal sheet is formed and shaped, printed or coated, then assembled with lids and seals before quality checks and packing. DOLYPACK's process runs structure selection through size adaptation, printing, finishing, accessories, sampling, mass production, and export packing.
What's the typical lead time for a custom tin can order?
It depends on decoration method: self-adhesive labels ship in about 4–6 business days, screen printing in 5–7, laser marking in 1–3, and embossing in 10–15. Full-color printing, cut-out finishes, and custom colors run about 25 business days due to plate setup and the 5,000-unit minimum.
What artwork do I need to provide for custom printing?
Print-ready artwork specifying colors in CMYK or Pantone is used during the color-matching step, and a physical sample is produced to confirm accuracy before mass production. Exact file specifications can be confirmed with your account contact once your project and decoration method are set.
Do you offer wholesale tin cans?
Yes — DOLYPACK supplies wholesale volumes factory-direct across its 636+ combined aluminum and tinplate references, without a trading-company layer in between.
Is there a minimum order quantity for custom tin cans?
Self-adhesive labels, screen printing, laser marking, and embossing/debossing carry no minimum. Full-color printing, cut-out finishes, and custom ink colors require 5,000 units per order.
Can I order tin cans online or request a quote online?
Yes — quotes and free samples can be requested directly online without going through a distributor.
Do you manufacture tin cans in the USA?
DOLYPACK exports to 80+ countries, including the United States, but does not operate a U.S.-based manufacturing facility — production is factory-direct from its own plant, then shipped internationally.
What's the difference between empty stock tin cans and custom tin cans?
Stock tins use existing molds and sizes for faster turnaround, while custom tins involve OEM/ODM structure and design work built around a new spec. DOLYPACK offers both — ready sizes from its 636+ references, or a fully custom build.
