Built for Bulk — Capacity, Materials & Format Range

DOLYPACK’s aluminum catalog spans 5 ml to 6,000 ml, and extra large tin containers sit at the top of that range — 500 ml to 6 L, round or square. DOLYPACK also produces smaller-format tins, such as 1 oz metal tins, using the same tooling and finish options.

Larger bodies use the same construction logic as the smaller sizes, scaled up: matched dies, comparable seam and lid systems, and the same finish palette.

Capacity & Specification Table

Capacity	Diameter × Height	Closure Options	Handle	Wall Gauge
500 ml – 1 L	Confirmed from container drawing	Screw, slip, or click lid	Optional	Standard aluminum wall; gauge confirmed per drawing
1 L – 3 L	Confirmed from container drawing	Screw, slip, click, or lug-style lid	Optional, sized to carry weight	Reinforced wall option available for denser fills
3 L – 6 L	Confirmed from container drawing	Slip, click, or lug-style lid	Recommended for carry weight	Reinforced construction recommended; confirmed per fill weight

Exact dimensions and gauge are set from the container drawing once capacity, shape, and fill weight are known — they are not standardized across suppliers at this size.

Closures & Handles for Heavy Fills

A bigger can means a heavier filled unit, and closure choice has to account for that:

Closures
Screw, slip, click, and lug-style lids are available on large-diameter bodies. The right choice depends on how the product is scooped, poured, or resealed.
Handles
Once a container carries several kilograms of product, the attachment point and lift method need to be confirmed alongside the lid, not chosen separately.

Lining, Compatibility & Documentation

Interior lacquer and anodized finishes are available on aluminum bodies, selected to match the product’s water and oil content, pH, and filling temperature rather than assumed from the material alone.

DOLYPACK provides the lining and material information available for the selected construction, but does not hold third-party certifications such as FDA listing or BPA-free registration. Compatibility is verified through a sample trial run with the actual production formula before the order is confirmed.

Decoration at Large-Format Scale

Large flat panels and curved bodies give artwork more room, but fine detail loses definition at scale faster than bold shapes do. Embossing, debossing, screen printing, laser marking, and full-color printing are all available, finished in matte, glossy, metallic, lacquer, or anodized surfaces on aluminum. Vector artwork gets the cleanest result on a big panel.

Application

Use Cases for High-Capacity Tins

Common high-capacity applications include:

Request a Quote

Food

Bulk coffee, tea, and dry goods where a case-quantity retail tin is not enough.
Gift assortments

Larger round and square bodies that bundle multiple products into one presentation piece.
Candles

Multi-wick vessels in the same capacity range.
Industrial or institutional products

Bulk-fill products that do not need retail-scale packaging.
Wellness and supplements

Single-serving softgels typically use fish oil containers instead.

Export Packing for Oversized Containers

A filled 6 L tin is heavier and bulkier than DOLYPACK’s smaller formats, so stacking and transport are specified alongside the container itself.

Filled weight, handle placement, interior lining, and pallet configuration all belong in the inquiry, not after tooling is set. This information determines whether the container needs stretch wrap and corner protection or a sturdier base construction from the start.

Customization

Custom Development & Ordering Process

Quoting starts with a container drawing and, for decorated projects, vector artwork. DOLYPACK confirms the tooling, decoration method, and sample route after reviewing these inputs.

Lead time and sample turnaround are set at the same review. They vary with wall construction, closure, and decoration, so no fixed schedule applies before the drawing stage. There is no fixed minimum order quantity either; MOQ is confirmed once the tin, decoration, artwork, and quantity are agreed.

FAQ

What sizes do tin cans come in?

DOLYPACK’s aluminum catalog runs from 5 ml up to 6,000 ml. Extra large tin containers occupy the top of that range, from 500 ml to 6 L.

What is the largest container you can buy?

DOLYPACK’s largest aluminum tin container is 6 L (6,000 ml). Larger volumes fall outside the current catalog range.

How is the interior lining selected for a large tin container?

Lining is matched to the product’s water and oil content, pH, and filling temperature, using interior lacquer or an anodized finish rather than the base metal alone. A sample trial with the actual production formula confirms compatibility before the order is finalized.
