Dimensions: Available sizes range roughly from 155–275 mm (length) × 103–206 mm (width) × 52–95 mm (height), covering most standard lunchbox needs.
Rectangular Form: The flat, rectangular profile provides maximum interior space and an efficient stackable shape. A hinged lid keeps the profile low while allowing easy one-handed opening.
Portability: Despite the rigid metal construction, these tins are surprisingly lightweight. The low-profile shape and smooth surfaces make them easy to transport and stow in backpacks or briefcases.
Alternate Shapes: In addition to standard rectangles, Shining Packaging can fabricate custom molds in other geometries (square, oval, hexagon, heart shape, etc.) to match unique design requirements . This flexibility ensures your packaging can stand out with a distinctive form factor while retaining the same high-quality tinplate materials.
Hinged Lid: Each lunch box features a sturdy one-piece hinge attaching the lid to the base. The integrated hinge mechanism ensures smooth opening and reliable alignment every time, without separate loose parts.
Secure Closure: To keep contents sealed during transport, optional metal clasp or padlock-style fasteners can be added. These clips grip the lid tightly to the body, preventing accidental openings on the go . The hinge and clasp system is built for durability, with rounded edges and strong metal components that withstand repeated use.
Shining Packaging provides a comprehensive range of printing and finishing techniques to elevate your brand with stunning detail:
CMYK Offset Printing: Utilizes full-color offset lithography with CMYK or Pantone (PMS) designs for vibrant, photo-quality graphics and metallic effects on the natural silver tin surface.
Silk-Screen & Digital Printing: Ideal for short runs or spot-color designs, offering low minimum orders and fast turnaround for limited editions or promotional updates.
Embossing/Debossing: Adds tactile elegance with raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) logos and patterns. Embossing creates a striking 3D effect, while debossing subtly highlights areas without color.
Matte/Gloss Lacquers: Protective glossy or matte clear lacquers enhance durability and aesthetics. Glossy finishes add shine, while matte provides a modern, understated look. Combine them for contrast (e.g., matte background with spot-gloss accents). Metallic foils and specialty coatings can further enhance with authentic metallic sheens or textured details.
The inside of each tin is finished with a transparent, food-grade coating to prevent corrosion and ensure safety. By default, a clear “silver” lacquer is applied, but a gold-tinted varnish is also available upon request. These interior lacquers have been BPA-free for years and are rigorously tested by food-safety labs . The coating creates a smooth, non-reactive barrier so the tin can safely hold snacks, candies, tea leaves or other edibles without affecting taste or quality.
Handles & Clasps: Optional side handles (in metal or durable plastic) can be fitted to larger tins for easy carrying. Metal clasps or loop latches can be added to the lid for extra security.
Window Lids: A clear acrylic or PVC window insert in the lid lets recipients see the contents at a glance, which is popular for retail and gift tins. The window panel is flush with the metal frame to keep dust out while showcasing your product.
Internal Inlays: Custom-cut foam, PET trays, or paperboard dividers can be supplied to organize and protect contents. These inserts hold items in place and enhance presentation for things like promotional sets or delicate goods.
Decorative Add-Ons: Enhance the aesthetic with additional elements like custom-printed sleeves, ribbons, paper labels, shrink bands or branded stickers. (All accessories are applied at the factory, ensuring a neat, professional finish .)
Shining Packaging’s facilities employ advanced automated production lines (stamping, forming, printing and assembly) to deliver high-volume, consistent quality. The company holds key international certifications: ISO 9001 quality management, FDA and LFGB (EU food-contact) compliance, BSCI social responsibility audit, SGS testing and more . These credentials underscore the safety and reliability of the tin construction for global markets. In keeping with sustainable goals, the tinplate material is 100% recyclable, and the robust construction allows each lunch box tin to be reused hundreds of times .
