Wholesale Tin Canister Specifications
The same body platform scales from sample-size trial packs to bulk industrial storage in aluminum or tinplate:
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Materials | Aluminum or tinplate (tin-plated steel) |
| Capacity range | 5 ml to 6,000 ml across the catalog |
| Cap sizes | Ø17.5 mm to 89 mm on screw-lid formats |
| Low-profile formats | Flat canister formats at 60 ml and 130 ml |
| Lid systems | Screw-top, slip/slide, click-lid, hinged, clear-window |
| MOQ by tooling route | Confirmed after review — stock-mold orders and custom-die orders are each assessed against size, decoration, and quantity |
| Lead time | Confirmed after drawing and artwork review; timing depends on whether the order uses an existing mold or new tooling |
That numeric span matters for buyers testing across a product line. A supplement brand and a candle line can share the same tooling family instead of sourcing from two different suppliers.
Canister Shapes & Lid Systems
Round & square canister bodies
Round bodies suit shelf display and hand-fill lines where a classic silhouette reads as premium; square bodies pack tighter in cartons and shipping cases, which matters at higher order volumes where freight density affects landed cost.
Lid options
Screw-top tins — reusable seal for balms, powders, and refillable retail formats.
Hinged tin boxes and slide lids — quick single-hand open/close for gifting and candy.
Candle metal lid options — flat or domed tops matched to candle canister bodies.
Round tin boxes and square tin boxes — body/lid pairs already tooled for common footprint sizes.
A cut acrylic or PET panel set into the lid for product visibility, common on candy and tea canisters.
Custom Decoration & Branding
Canister branding runs through embossing/debossing (raised or recessed artwork pressed with a matched die), label or screen printing, laser marking, and full-color printing. Finish options layer on top: matte, glossy, frosted, metallic effect, anodizing on aluminum bodies, lacquering, and spot varnish.
Tooling depth, print alignment, and finish combinations are quoted after DOLYPACK reviews your container drawing and vector artwork. Bold shapes and simple geometry reproduce more cleanly in metal than fine detail, so simplifying artwork early speeds up the quote. Buyers building a full branding package can review custom tin packaging options or the material trade-offs in the embossed tin material guide.
Industries We Supply Canisters For
The same canister platform covers multiple product lines rather than locking a buyer into one vertical:

02
Aluminum candy tins for confectionery and gifting runs
-
03
Metal cosmetic jars for balms, creams, and personal care

Why Source Tin Canisters from DOLYPACK
DOLYPACK operates an in-house tooling team that develops both stock molds and custom dies, backed by over 10 years in metal packaging manufacturing. That combination lets a buyer start from an existing mold to keep costs and timing predictable, or commission a fully custom body and lid when the product needs a distinct shape — without switching suppliers between the two routes.
That flexibility is the practical reason to consolidate canister sourcing with one manufacturer instead of splitting orders between a stock-tin importer and a separate custom-tooling shop.
