Aluminum Matcha Tin
An aluminum matcha tin from DOLYPACK is built for 20–100 g matcha packaging, with the closure and first-opening seal matched to the filling method. These are empty containers for private-label and wholesale brands, not single-unit retail products.
Built for Matcha’s Freshness Requirements
Aluminum blocks light from reaching the matcha powder inside, while protection from air and moisture depends on the closure and sealing system. Available components include:
- Threaded screw cap
- Removable inner lid
- Foil or ring-pull tamper-evident seal
These components can be used individually or combined according to how the tin is filled and reopened. A screw cap with an inner liner suits daily reopening, while a first-opening seal gives retail buyers visible evidence of tamper protection. For bulk or foodservice fill, the outer tin can hold a separately sealed pouch, with the pouch providing most of the barrier protection. A sample filled with the actual matcha can then be used to check thread sealing, powder buildup on the sealing surface, and closure performance after repeated opening.
Sizes & Formats: 20–100 g
Matcha brands typically work in four weight bands. Each is mapped to a diameter, cap size, and liner drawn from DOLYPACK’s aluminum capacity range (5 ml–6,000 ml) and screw-cap range (Ø17.5–89 mm):
| Fill weight | Typical diameter | Typical height | Wall thickness | Alloy | Liner | Cap size | Product Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20–30 g | Ø40–50 mm | 55–65 mm | Confirmed per drawing | Aluminum (grade confirmed per drawing) | Paper or foam seal pad | Ø40–50 mm |
|
| 40–50 g | Ø50–60 mm | 65–75 mm | Confirmed per drawing | Aluminum (grade confirmed per drawing) | Paper or foam seal pad | Ø50–60 mm |
|
| 60–80 g | Ø60–70 mm | 80–95 mm | Confirmed per drawing | Aluminum (grade confirmed per drawing) | Paper or foam seal pad | Ø60–70 mm |
|
| 90–100 g | Ø70–80 mm | 95–110 mm | Confirmed per drawing | Aluminum (grade confirmed per drawing) | Paper or foam seal pad | Ø70–80 mm |
Diameter, height, and wall thickness lock in once the fill trial confirms headspace for the actual matcha; the ranges above show which band a project typically falls into, not a fixed SKU.
Design Options
Closure & Lid Options
-
Screw Lid + Inner Seal
A threaded closure paired with a matched liner and a first-opening seal — built on the aluminum screw-lid jars range — supports daily reseal while still showing proof of first opening on the shelf. Thread and liner fit for screw top tins are matched to the selected body diameter.
-
Click or Slip Lid
A push-fit or slip-on lid costs less to tool than a threaded closure and suits gift sets or accessory formats where quick opening matters more than daily reseal performance.
Custom Printing & Branding
Decoration options include:
Embossed tins reproduce bold shapes more cleanly than fine detail, since metal gauge, body curvature, and seam position set how deep a pattern can run. Vector artwork speeds up tooling review.
On a compact matcha tin the lid is usually the main branding surface, since side artwork competes for space with the thread or body seam.
Material & Food-Contact Documentation
Bodies are constructed from aluminum, with interior finish, liner material, and manufacturing spec confirmed for the selected configuration. Food-contact documents are available on request — flag any destination-market requirement in the inquiry so the applicable declarations can be checked against the chosen tin, coating, and closure.
Brands packaging both matcha and coffee lines can compare the parallel aluminum coffee tin range for shared tooling opportunities.
FAQ
What is the best container to store matcha in?
An opaque, well-sealed container. Aluminum or tinplate tins with a tight-fitting or gasketed lid keep out light and limit air exchange better than clear glass or an open bag, which matters most once the tin is opened repeatedly.
Is matcha in a tin better?
A tin blocks light completely and holds its shape under shipping and shelf handling, which a flexible pouch doesn’t. The trade-off is that a tin’s real protection depends on its closure, not just the metal body.
Does metal mess with matcha?
Plain aluminum in direct contact with a dry powder generally doesn’t react with it. The practical concerns are powder collecting on the sealing surface and closure wear after repeated opening, both worth checking in a fill trial with the intended matcha.
Where can I buy matcha tin cans wholesale?
Directly from a manufacturer that will quote against your target fill weight, closure, and decoration. Submit those specs along with an estimated order quantity to get a size and structure matched to the project.

Sourcing Process
Wholesale orders with custom printing typically start around 3,000–5,000 units; stock tin bodies without decoration can move in smaller counts. Once the fill weight, closure, and artwork are set, samples usually ship within 1–2 weeks, with bulk production following in 4–6 weeks depending on decoration and order size.
Provide the target fill weight, estimated order quantity, preferred closure, direct-fill or inner-pouch method, decoration, and destination market to get a matched structure and drawing.
