Rectangular Tins
For long, flat, or multi-item layouts, rectangular tins offer more usable face area than round or square footprints. DOLYPACK builds them in aluminum or tinplate with slide, hinged, lift-off, or window-lid formats, using existing tooling or a custom brief.
Lid Styles for Rectangular Tins
Rectangular tins use four main lid styles:
-
Slide lid
Runs through channels on the long sides and suits flat, compact products. Leave clearance between raised artwork and the sliding edge.
-
Hinged lid
Stays attached to the base and suits kits, mints, and products opened repeatedly. See the hinged tin options.
-
Lift-off lid
Gives an uninterrupted top panel for gift and confectionery packs.
-
Window lid
Adds a clear viewing panel on select structures, with size and position confirmed against the body and lid together.
None of these accept a threaded closure. Where a screw neck is required, an aluminum screw-lid jar is the right shape, and screw-top closures cover that mechanism directly.
Stock Sizes & Capacity Range
Capacity is calculated from the outer dimensions before wall allowance; usable internal volume is confirmed on the item drawing. Aluminum is available on select shallow-drawn models, with material confirmed per model rather than assumed across the range.
Below this range, 1 oz metal tins and 2 oz metal tins cover small-format needs; above it, extra large tin containers handle bulk sets.
For a shallow, wide layout instead of a boxy one, flat options run 60 ml and 130 ml low-profile formats. DOLYPACK’s full aluminum and tinplate line spans 5 ml to 6,000 ml overall.

Materials & Finishes
Tinplate is the default for hinges, slide channels, and formed seams; aluminum applies to select shallow-drawn shapes only. Matte, glossy, frosted, and metallic finishes work across both materials.
CMYK or Pantone printing, laser marking, or embossing can be added once the dieline is set. Keep artwork clear of hinges, channels, and window cut-outs. Closure comparisons across shapes, including tin containers with lids, are useful when a rectangular structure is not the final decision yet.

Custom Development & Wholesale Ordering
Quoting reviews the tin, decoration, artwork, tooling, and sample route together, and MOQ and production timing follow from that review rather than a fixed number. A sample is standard practice before committing to a full order. For sourcing volume tins outside the rectangular range, wholesale sourcing options are worth comparing.

FAQ
What’s the MOQ for a custom rectangular tin?
There’s no fixed minimum — running a design on existing slide or hinged tooling supports smaller quantities than commissioning a new die. The exact minimum is confirmed once the model, decoration, and order quantity are reviewed together.
How much does new tooling cost?
Tooling cost depends on the die’s complexity, size, and pattern depth (embossed, cut-out, or window). It’s quoted after the container drawing and artwork are reviewed, not set as a flat rate.
How long does a sample take?
Sample lead time depends on whether it uses existing tooling or requires a new die cut first. It’s confirmed once the drawing and decoration route are set, ahead of the full production quote.
Are rectangular tins food-contact safe?
No blanket certification applies across the line. When contents and destination market are declared, the interior coating and any required contact documentation are checked against that specific product and model.
