We offer these lip balm tins in a range of sizes from mini 5 g tins up to 50 g (custom volumes available). They come in classic and creative shapes: round, square, rectangular, oval or even heart-shaped formats. Despite the variety, all designs remain compact – typically just 1–2 inches across. This small footprint makes them ideal for travel kits, gift sets and retail point-of-sale displays. In fact, by industry standards, lip balm tins generally hold about 5–10 g of product, perfect for trial sizes or daily lip care. Our compact metal tins fit easily into a purse or pocket, ensuring your product is always on hand.
Choose from multiple lid styles to suit your needs: slip-on (friction-fit) lids, screw-on caps, sliding (slider) tops or click-clack snap lids. Friction-fit lids snap shut securely but open smoothly, giving a high-barrier seal without fuss. All lid types keep the tin airtight, locking out oxygen and lightto preserve fragrance and potency. We also offer special lid customizations: for example, a clear window or cut-out lets customers see the product inside, while embossed/debossed logos or varnishes add a tactile brand accent. These bespoke lid features make each tin uniquely yours – whether it’s a glossy see-through top or a metal surface stamped with your logo.
Our lip balm tins support full-color decoration by virtually any printing method. You can choose CMYK offset printing, silk-screen, digital or flexographic techniques, plus embossing or debossing for texture. Surface finishes include matte, glossy, crackle or soft-touch (rubber) varnish, and special effects like UV spot highlights. In practice, you might opt for full-litho printing directly on the tin, or apply premium pressure-sensitive labels after production – both routes let your artwork shine. This level of customization allows your brand to stand out: multi-color graphics, embossed logos, foil stamps or a mix of finishes can all elevate the appearance and shelf impact of your product.
Inside each tin, we apply a food-safe lining that protects both the metal and your product. Options include a clear, golden or glossy varnish specifically formulated for oil- and wax-based contents. These FDA-compliant coatings prevent corrosion and transfer of metal ions, keeping salves and balms pure. (Importantly, they are BPA-free and designed to resist rust.) In short, the interior coating creates a non-reactive barrier – it won’t taint flavors or cause odors – while extending shelf life. This anti-rust, food-grade lining is an invisible yet crucial feature that ensures each batch of lip balm comes out pristine.
