Gift Tin Box Formats
Each shape fits a different gifting occasion or retail bundle:
All eight accept insert trays, window lids, hardware buckles, handles, or carrying rope.
For plain storage-style shapes without gifting hardware, square tin boxes and rectangular tin boxes run a leaner build. The craft tin box line does the same for hobby and craft use.

Decoration & Branding Options
Gift tin decoration and finish options include:
-
Printing
CMYK, Pantone spot color, UV, and hot foil stamping
-
Branding
Laser marking, self-adhesive labels, and window die-cuts that show the product without opening the lid
-
Finishes
Matte, glossy, frosted, metallic, lacquered, and anodized surfaces
-
Embossing and debossing
Matched dies in aluminum or tinplate; metal gauge, body seams, and lid curvature limit pattern depth, so bold shapes hold up better than fine detail
Custom embossed tins applies matched-die embossing across finishes and shapes beyond the gift-box line. Vector artwork (AI, EPS, vector PDF) gets the cleanest result across these methods.
Sizing & Capacity Range
The aluminum catalog behind these gift formats spans 5 ml to 6,000 ml, but gift tins themselves run small to mid-format. Most gifting occasions call for something a hand can hold, not a bulk container.
Low-profile flat tins at 60 ml and 130 ml work well for jewelry, small confections, or single-favor gifts where a shallow, wide format shows the contents better than a tall one.

FAQ
Ordering starts with a drawing or vector artwork file. MOQ is set per shape, decoration method, and order review rather than as one blanket number across the line.
Full-color printing and custom color matching need higher volume to justify plate and tooling setup, while laser marking, labels, and screen printing can run at smaller batches. DOLYPACK reviews the tin shape, decoration method, and tooling needs against the submitted artwork, then confirms order quantity and production timing. A physical sample follows artwork approval, ahead of any full-volume run.
