Built for Craft Businesses, Not Single-Unit Retail
Etsy sellers, candle and soap makers, and favor businesses outgrow six-packs from Amazon or Walmart quickly. A tin that ships blank today can carry your logo once the design is locked — decoration and tooling are quoted after DOLYPACK reviews your artwork and container, not applied by default.
Available Formats
Common format choices include:
- Round tin boxes for jewelry and notions
- Square tin boxes in 3-piece formats that snap flush for shelf display
- Rectangular tin boxes for larger gift-set inserts
- Candy tins for single-serving favors at the smallest end of the range
| Shape | Material | Lid Type |
|---|---|---|
| Round | Aluminum or tinplate | Slip-lid, click-lid, window |
| Rectangular | Aluminum or tinplate | Hinged, slip-lid |
| Square | Aluminum | Click-lid, 3-piece |
Aluminum tins support click-lid, slip-lid, 3-piece, and window-panel closures. Tinplate is offered for classic tea, coffee, and candle-tin lines and typically runs in a heavier gauge.
The physical differences between the two metals — weight, cost per unit, and how each holds a finish — are broken down in the tin vs. aluminum comparison.

Tooling and pattern depth are quoted after DOLYPACK reviews your container drawing and artwork. Raised or recessed patterns come from matched dies; bold shapes and vector artwork (AI, EPS, vector PDF) reproduce more cleanly than fine detail, as explained in custom embossed tins.
Fully custom shapes and finish matching run through custom tin packaging.
Common Craft & Small-Business Uses

Why Source From a Manufacturer Instead of Retail




Send your container drawing and artwork, and DOLYPACK quotes tooling, decoration, and sample route before confirming order quantity. MOQ scales with the decoration method: a plain or laser-marked tin needs a smaller run than a fully tooled embossed or full-color job, and the exact threshold is set per project rather than pulled from a fixed tier.
Sample cost and lead time depend on shape, material, and decoration and are confirmed once DOLYPACK reviews your specifications.
