Aluminum Tin Jars

The aluminum tin jar range covers 5 ml sample sizes to 6-liter bulk canisters. Options include screw, slip, click, and window lids, with matte, glossy, frosted, or metallic finishes. Existing body-and-lid combinations use stock molds, while new shapes or capacities require custom development.

The Aluminum Tin Jar Range at a Glance

The catalog spans 5 ml to 6,000 ml on existing molds, with no tooling order required for models already in the range. That covers travel-size cosmetic tins, mid-size cream and coffee jars, and bulk aluminum tin containers for candles or dry-goods storage.

Each model is a finished, production-ready jar with body, lid, and liner already matched, so sourcing usually comes down to which existing size and lid fits. Projects needing a new shape, embossed pattern, or capacity outside this range go through custom aluminum jar tooling, where DOLYPACK’s in-house team develops new molds and dies from a drawing or reference sample.

Lid Styles & Closures

Every aluminum jar with lid ships as a matched body-and-closure set. Screw, slip-cover, click, and window lids are not interchangeable across models, since liner and thread details are set per body.

  • Screw lid

    Threaded closure for creams, balms, and pomades needing a tighter, leak-resistant seal.

  • Slip-cover

    Friction-fit lid for candies, mints, dry goods, and tins that open and close often.

  • Click/snap lid

    Tamper-visible closure common on cosmetic and food samples.

  • Window/specialty lid

    Clear or cut-out panel for retail shelf visibility on candy, tea, and gift tins.

Screw lids run across the full 5 ml–6 L range and are most common on creams and balms, covered under screw-lid jars. Slip-cover, click, and window formats are matched to specific bodies within the cosmetic jar, cream jar, and candy tin lines.

Construction & Liner Options

Aluminum cap diameters range from Ø17.5 mm to Ø89 mm. Each cap is matched to the jar neck and closure design, so thread size is confirmed for the selected model.

Wall thickness and alloy grade vary by model. Thinner-gauge drawn aluminum may suit smaller jars and sample formats, while larger canisters use heavier-gauge bodies. Both are confirmed against the container drawing.

Liner options include foam discs, EPE foam, PE film, and induction-seal inserts. For edible or food-contact fills, liner selection and material documentation are confirmed for the specific product.

Sizes & Capacities (5 ml – 6 L)

Fill volume splits into three practical bands:

  • Sample/travel — 5–30 ml

    lip balm, solid fragrance, cosmetic samples, compact personal care.

  • Mid-size — 60–250 ml

    creams, balms, powders, and standard candle fills.

  • Bulk — 500 ml–6 L

    food, coffee, tea, dry goods, and large-format candle or storage jars.

Empty aluminum tins in the mid-size band also double as candle vessels — buyers filling standard candle sizes can go straight to the finished 4 oz candle jars, 8 oz candle jars, or 16 oz candle jars rather than starting a generic-size inquiry.

Finishes & Decoration

  • Finish

    Matte, glossy, frosted, and metallic-effect finishes are standard options. Anodizing, lacquering, and spot varnish can also be selected according to the required appearance and production route.

  • Decoration

    Options include embossing, debossing, labeling, screen printing, laser marking, and full-color printing with custom color matching. Bold shapes and vector artwork in AI, EPS, or vector PDF format reproduce more reliably than fine detail. Tooling depth and decoration pricing are confirmed after reviewing the container drawing and artwork.

Where Aluminum Tin Jars Are Used

  • Cosmetics & personal care

    — cream, balm, powder, and clay mask jars sized for retail and sample formats.

  • Candles

    — aluminum bodies matched to wick size and burn profile; see metal candle jar supplier options and aluminum candle jars and lids built specifically for candle fills.

  • Food & beverage

    — coffee, tea, and candy packaging; see tea tin cans and coffee packaging formats used by roasters and tea brands.

  • Wellness

    — pill, powder, and fish oil containers for supplement fills.

Custom Sizes, Molds & Decoration

When a project needs a shape, capacity, or decoration outside the existing range, DOLYPACK’s in-house tooling team develops new molds and dies rather than adapting a stock body. That covers new jar profiles, custom cap threads, and decoration that requires its own die.

Sourcing

Ordering, Samples & MOQ

  • Stock or custom

    Plain stock jars in existing colors and finishes carry lower minimums. Runs requiring new printing plates or tooling need higher volume commitments.

  • MOQ and production timing

    Exact requirements depend on the selected jar, lid, liner, decoration, and order quantity. A bare aluminum tin and a five-color printed run do not share the same minimum.

FAQ

What is a tin jar?
A tin jar is a lightweight metal container with a fitted lid — screw, slip, or click — sized to hold a scoopable or pourable fill. Aluminum tin jars specifically use aluminum bodies and caps, chosen for cosmetics, candles, food, and wellness packaging where a rigid, opaque container is needed.
