Aluminum or Tinplate — Choosing Your Base Material

Aluminum

Resists corrosion and stays stable against moisture, making it the default for creams, balms, and oil-based fills. The trade-off is a higher per-unit cost than tinplate.

VS

Tinplate

Is more rigid and generally more affordable for dry, solid, or lightweight goods like tea, candy, and cookies. The trade-off is lower corrosion resistance in humid or high-moisture environments.

For a closer look at weight, rigidity, and finish differences, see tin vs aluminum. For how metal compares to plastic on barrier protection and shelf presence, see aluminum tin vs plastic.

Sizes & Capacities Available

The aluminum range covers empty tins from 5 ml for trial runs up to 6,000 ml containers for bulk fill, with screw caps sized independently across the same catalog to match jar necks.

  • Low-profile flat tins

    60 ml, 130 ml

  • Candle jar sizes

Custom Decoration and Tooling Options

DOLYPACK can decorate stock tin shapes or develop containers around a new custom die. Available options include embossing and debossing, laser marking, screen or full-color printing, labels, and finishes such as matte, glossy, frosted, metallic, lacquered, and anodized surfaces for aluminum.

Embossing results depend on the artwork, metal gauge, panel shape, lid or body construction, and seam placement. Bold logos and lettering usually reproduce more clearly than fine detail. For custom relief work, vector artwork in AI, EPS, or vector PDF format helps the tooling team check the design before the die is cut.

Tooling and pattern depth are quoted after reviewing the container drawing and artwork. See embossed tin tooling costs and materials for embossed tins for more detail, or tin case construction for container structures and applications.

Industries We Package For

DOLYPACK has supplied 441+ references to more than 80 countries over 10+ years in metal packaging. Applications include Candles, Coffee & Tea, Cosmetics, Food, Pet Products, and Pharmaceutical.

Each category has different fill, closure, and decoration needs. Cosmetics brands often choose aluminum for cream and balm formats, while wellness and pharmaceutical buyers use pill jars, powder jars, and fish oil containers for actives that need light protection.

How Sourcing Works With DOLYPACK

  1. Choose a starting point.

    Select a stock size and finish, or provide a drawing and vector artwork for something custom.

  2. Review the specification.

    DOLYPACK reviews the container, decoration method, and finish, then quotes tooling, position, print alignment, pattern depth, and sample route based on that review.

  3. Confirm MOQ and timing.

    There's no fixed minimum order quantity published up front. MOQ and production timing are confirmed once the tin, decoration, artwork, tooling, sample route, and order quantity are reviewed together.

  4. Move to quote.

    For sourcing standard formats at case quantities, see wholesale tin sourcing. For naming and production details on round formats, see round tin box manufacturing. To move a project forward, request a quote with a sketch, reference SKU, or 3D file attached.

FAQ

What is the difference between cans and tins?
Tins are typically lidded, reusable containers — screw-top, hinge-top, or slip-lid — meant to be opened and closed repeatedly. Cans are usually sealed at the factory for a single opening, like a beverage or food can. Buyers choose tins when reusability and shelf presence matter, and cans when a permanent seal is the priority.
Where can I find tins for sale?
Stock formats such as candle jars, cosmetic jars, and food tins are available in standard sizes and finishes. Brands that need a specific size, material, or decoration not covered by a stock mold can request custom development instead, starting from a sketch or reference sample.
What are those tin boxes called?
Common formats include screw-top tins, hinge-top tins, slide or slip-lid tins, and square three-piece tins. The name usually describes the closure — a "slide tin" opens by sliding the inner tray out of an outer sleeve, while a "hinge-top" has a lid attached on one side.
Is tin packaging expensive?
Cost depends on container size, material (aluminum vs. tinplate), decoration method (plain, printed, or embossed), finish, and order volume — a small plain tin costs far less per unit than a fully embossed, multi-color container run in low quantities.
