Details of Metal popcorn tin

01

Size & Capacity

Wide volume range: Standard popcorn tins range from small single-serving sizes up to multi-gallon tins. Shining offers empty popcorn tin containers in capacities from 1 gallon (3.8 L) through 6.5 gallons (24.6 L) or more.
Common shapes: Most popcorn tins are round or tall cylindrical “bucket” shapes. We also supply square, oval or novelty shapes as needed. Specialty shapes (heart, triangular, etc.) can be produced for unique branding.
Custom dimensions: Each tin’s diameter and height can be adjusted to your product fill level and design concept. We work with clients to match tin size to popcorn weight or gift set dimensions (even very large “cinema-sized” popcorn tins).

02

Lid Options

Slip-On Covers (Telescoping Lids): These smooth slip-on covers offer a snug, hassle-free fit that protects contents from dust and moisture while ensuring easy opening and reclosing. With neatly rolled edges and a seamless finish, the lid slides effortlessly over the can mouth for a streamlined look. Designed for practicality and reuse, it’s a popular choice for tins meant for gifting, retail, or repeated everyday use.

Snap-On Metal Lids: Featuring a secure snap-fastener mechanism built into the container, these decorative metal lids deliver a reliable, airtight seal. Perfect for preserving freshness and enhancing reusability, the clasp design ensures the lid stays firmly in place—ideal for coffee, nuts, and premium popcorn packaging. The sleek embossed or debossed options allow for custom logos or patterns, adding a tactile, high-end finish that elevates brand appeal and collectibility.

Printing Options

Full-color customization: Offers CMYK offset and digital printing on tin surfaces, ideal for photorealistic graphics, logos, and multi-color designs. Spot-color or metallic inks can enhance artwork.

Embossing and stamping: Features 3D embossing or flat debossing for logos, text, or patterns, adding a tactile, luxurious effect.
Seasonal/promotional themes: Perfect for holiday or promotional tins (e.g., Christmas popcorn tins) with vibrant, branded graphics on the metallic surface.

04

Interior Coating

Food-grade lacquers: All tins feature a food-safe interior coating, available in gold-colored lacquer, silver/clear varnish, or other FDA-compliant linings. These coatings protect the metal and prevent tin or oil contact with snacks.
Meets safety standards: The interior coating is certified food-grade, ensuring safe use with oil-rich popcorn or wet/dry snacks. It prevents corrosion and maintains food freshness and safety.
Natural tin finish: For dry confections or non-oily gifts, tins can have a bare tinplate interior with a classic “silver” finish when no coating is required. All materials and coatings comply with FDA/EU food-contact regulations.

Accessories

Metal Handles & Clasps – Durable metal handles make popcorn tins easy to carry, offering convenience for customers and portability for retail or events. Secure clasps keep lids tightly closed, adding an extra layer of protection during handling, transport, and storage.
Padded Tops – Protective liners placed beneath the lid provide added cushioning, helping to safeguard contents during storage and transport.
Tamper-Evident Shrink Bands – Clear shrink bands seal tins securely, preventing tampering and ensuring product freshness and integrity until opened.
Multi-Flavor Dividers – Durable paperboard dividers separate the interior into 2 or 3 compartments, keeping different popcorn flavors fresh and neatly partitioned. The 3-way divider is a classic choice for assorted popcorn tins.
