Beard Balm Tins
DOLYPACK manufactures aluminum beard balm tins for solid, finger-scooped wax-and-oil formulas, not creams or liquids. Each beard balm tin can use a screw or slip lid, with size and finish matched to the fill during tooling review. Request samples to check lid feel and fill depth before production.
Fill Sizes for Balm Formulas
| Capacity | Typical Use | Diameter × Height | Wall Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 oz | Travel size, one-handed scoop | Set at tooling | Standard aluminum gauge |
| 1 oz | Gift-set or pocket fill — see 1 oz metal tins | Set at tooling | Standard aluminum gauge |
| 2 oz | Standard retail SKU | Set at tooling | Standard aluminum gauge |
| 3.5 oz | Full-size shelf tin, thicker balm | Set at tooling | Standard aluminum gauge |
| 4 oz | Barbershop refill / value SKU | Set at tooling | Standard aluminum gauge |
These are common balm fills, not a fixed stock list. Diameter, height, and wall gauge are confirmed per order rather than published as generic specifications. The aluminum range spans 5 ml to 6,000 ml, so smaller or larger custom capacities are made to order once fill volume and lid style are set.

Screw Lid vs. Slip Lid — Which Fits Your Balm
Slip lid
A firmer, wax-heavy balm holds its shape and works well with a lift-off tin. It suits counter displays and barbershop products opened frequently.
VS
Screw lid
A softer, oil-heavy balm benefits from a tighter reseal, especially in a dopp kit or checked bag. Threading adds a manufacturing step, so it costs more per unit than a slip lid of the same size.
The extra cost of a screw lid makes sense for shelf or travel products, but may be unnecessary for a gift-set piece opened once at home. For thread pitch, gasket, and closure details, see the screw-top tin closure guide.
Liners & Finish Options
Wax-and-oil balm needs a liner sized for oil contact, not just moisture. Options include:
- PE film liner
- EPE foam seal pad under the lid
- Lacquer coating baked onto the tin’s inner surface
Each option slows air and oil migration, but none is a guaranteed long-term seal against a formula that is still settling after fill, especially one that leans heavily toward oil over wax. Test a filled sample before locking in a liner choice.
Softer, creamier formulas that do not need this liner logic generally fit aluminum cream jars better. Finish options for the tin itself include matte, glossy, frosted, metallic, anodized, and lacquered surfaces.
Custom Branding
Branding runs to embossed or debossed logos, label and screen printing, laser marking, and custom color, with artwork reviewed before a tooling quote is issued.

Samples & Wholesale Quotes
The order sequence runs from drawing and artwork review to color matching, sample approval, and production. Decoration method can affect the required order quantity and turnaround time.
A label or laser-marked run may move through trial batches in days. Full-color printing or a cut-out window lid may require a larger production run and longer lead time because tooling and color matching involve additional steps.
Exact MOQ and timing are confirmed once DOLYPACK reviews your tin, decoration, and artwork. The wholesale tin container ordering guide explains typical order-size ranges by decoration method, while the embossed tin tooling cost guide covers the factors that affect embossing lead time.
