Tin cans wholesale orders cover candles, coffee and tea, candy, cosmetics, and wellness products. Stock formats suit standard shapes, while custom lids, bodies, and embossing move through in-house tooling; the cans arrive empty for the buyer's own filling line within the broader tins for packaging range.
Browse DOLYPACK's aluminum and tinplate packaging range, including tins, jars, cans, and other formats for different applications. Select a product to review its available options and discuss your requirements with our team.
Six shapes cover most wholesale briefs. Capacity and lid type hold across the catalog; exact diameter and order quantity move with decoration and are confirmed against the drawing rather than a fixed size chart.
| Shape | Capacity Range | Lid Type | Diameter | Typical MOQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round tin cans | 5 ml – 6,000 ml catalog range | Slip or snap lid | Confirmed per drawing | Confirmed after review |
| Square metal tins | 5 ml – 6,000 ml catalog range | Slip lid | Confirmed per drawing | Confirmed after review |
| Cylinder tins | 5 ml – 6,000 ml catalog range | Slip or screw lid | Confirmed per drawing | Confirmed after review |
| Flat tins | 60 ml / 130 ml low-profile formats | Slip lid | Confirmed per drawing | Confirmed after review |
| Screw-top tins | 5 ml – 6,000 ml catalog range | Screw cap | Ø17.5 mm – 89 mm | Confirmed after review |
| Hinged tin boxes | 5 ml – 6,000 ml catalog range | Hinged lid | Confirmed per drawing | Confirmed after review |
Stock shapes with an existing mold move straight to production without new tooling. A shape, lid, or embossing detail outside this table routes through the in-house tooling team, which cuts a new die for the body, lid, or decoration before MOQ and pricing are confirmed.
A single-cavity die and a multi-cavity die do not carry the same cost or turnaround, so both are quoted against the actual drawing.
Match capacity to the actual fill volume, not a nominal size — powders, wax, and loose leaf pack at different densities in the same body.
Match lid type to product form: screw caps seal loose powders and creams, hinged lids suit dry snacks and gifting, flat slip lids suit balms and mints.
Match shape to shelf presentation: round reads traditional or premium; square and rectangular pack tighter into a case for freight.
Confirm interior finish compatibility with oily, waxed, or acidic fills before the order is placed.
Sourcing mechanics and MOQ patterns for wholesale tin containers follow decoration complexity and order quantity rather than a single flat minimum.
Steel gauge, interior coating, and liner choice are matched to the fill — dry, oily, liquid, or waxed — and set against the product drawing rather than fixed across the whole catalog. A candle tin and a powder tin need different interior protection.
Food-contact or destination-market documentation is checked per project. Flag the product type and target market in the inquiry so the applicable material information is confirmed before tooling starts.
Tin cans with lids take embossing and debossing, label or screen printing, laser marking, and full-color printing, with matte, glossy, frosted, and metallic finishes plus spot varnish available depending on the structure chosen.
Artwork should be supplied in vector format (AI, EPS, or vector PDF). Pattern depth and print alignment are confirmed once DOLYPACK reviews the container drawing alongside the artwork, since a fine detail that reproduces cleanly on a flat lid may not survive a curved body.
Beyond the six core shapes, the catalog groups further by use case:
— Candy tins, cookie tins, gift boxes, craft tin boxes — decorative structures built for confections and presentation packaging.
— metal cosmetic jars, lip balm tins, 2 oz metal tins — shallow profiles for balm, wax, and compact fills.
— candle tins, hinged and slide tins — candle tins need a burn test with the actual wax and wick before approval; hinged lids stay connected to the body on the shelf.
— tea tins, rectangular tin boxes, extra large tin containers — capacity runs toward the top of the 6,000 ml catalog range.
Cylinder and round bodies protect coffee and tea tin cans against light and moisture better than a printed bag, while aluminum matcha tins use a lighter body when the fill is a fine powder rather than a leaf.
Candy and cookie tins use the same shape logic with a different interior finish. Candle tins need a burn test on the finished body, wax, wick, and fill combination before production is approved.
Tinplate isn’t always the lighter or cheaper option — for weight-sensitive or drawn-body projects:
Stock shapes can be ordered directly from the catalog without new tooling. Custom shapes, lids, or decoration are quoted after reviewing the container drawing, artwork, and order quantity. MOQ and tooling turnaround are confirmed at this stage.
A sample is available before production to check lid fit, finish, and artwork placement. Round tin box gifting formats use a slip lid for retail presentation, while small-format lip balm tins use a shallow flat lid for balm and wax fills.
