Our tea tins come in round, square and rectangular forms to suit any product or branding. We offer compact travel-size tins and large-capacity canisters (heights typically from a few centimeters up to around 18–20 cm), and all dimensions can be tailored to your needs. For example, popular round caddies range 45–106 mm in diameter with modifiable height. Square and rectangular tins provide efficient use of shelf space (the walls can be made thin but strong thanks to 0.23 mm tinplate). Because our molds are highly flexible, customers can choose any combination of width, length and height – from “pocket” tea tin for travel to a large tea tin for bulk storage – without wasting shelf space.
Shining tea tins can be fitted with a variety of lid styles to balance airtightness and convenience. Common options include slip-fit lids (simple friction-fit or “flip” lids) and levered/pillow lids (snap-in inner plugs for a flush top) . For extra sealing power, we offer double lids: a main lid plus an inner plug that provides two barriers against air. Clasp-lock or latch lids (metal or plastic latches with rubber gaskets) clamp the lid tightly closed and make the tin highly airtight. There are also screw-top (twist-on) lids with threaded rings for a secure seal, and even lids with clear viewing windows so consumers can see the product inside. In every case the lid design ensures easy opening and re-closing, while maintaining a sealed environment that keeps tea fresh.
Shining Packaging offers full customization of graphics and finishes to make your brand stand out. We can print designs in full-color CMYK (offset) or spot colors, as well as use screen-printing or digital-printing processes for special cases. Embossing or debossing is available to add tactile, 3D logos or patterns. After printing, we apply protective varnishes or coatings in your choice of gloss, matte or satin finish (even textured varnishes like crackle or rubbery “pebble” finish) . For premium accents, metallic foil stamping or hot-stamping can highlight logos or design elements. We also offer spot UV varnish to make certain areas glossy and eye-catching. These options ensure that each tin is not only protective but visually appealing on the shelf.
Each tea tin has a food-grade inner lacquer to safeguard the contents. We typically coat the interior with a neutral food-safe lacquer in gold, silver (aluminum) or clear. This lining prevents any metal-to-tea contact, eliminating metallic taste. It also blocks moisture and oxygen: by protecting the tea leaves or spices from air, light and humidity, the coating helps preserve aroma and flavor. The FDA-approved inner finish is ideal for dry foods – teas, herbs, baking mixes and more – so your product stays fresh as long as possible.
Shining Packaging uses automated, high-volume production lines to deliver consistent quality. We begin with carefully sourced food-grade tinplate (typically 0.23 mm thick). The metal sheets are precision-stamped and formed into the tin bodies, bases and lids. Next, each piece goes through high-resolution lithographic printing and coating stations. After decoration, lids and optional inner seals are assembled to the bodies. Throughout production, every tin is inspected and leak-tested to ensure a tight seal. Our factories hold international certifications (ISO 9001, BSCI, FDA, LFGB, etc.) to guarantee food-safety and quality. With dozens of automated stamping and printing machines, Shining Packaging can produce tens of thousands of tea tins per day (e.g. ~80,000 units daily in a multi-shift line) without sacrificing attention to detail.
Each Shining tea tin is therefore built for rigorous B2B use: made from premium, food-safe materials, sealed for freshness, and finished to highlight your brand. For custom tea tins of any size and design, Shining Packaging provides reliable quality and on-time delivery, making us a top choice among tea tin manufacturers worldwide.
Our tea tins are crafted from premium 0.23mm food-grade tinplate, a durable tinplated steel that’s non-reactive, BPA-free, and recyclable. This ensures no metallic taste transfer while providing excellent protection against light, oxygen, and moisture.
Metal tea tins offer superior airtight and watertight seals to keep tea fresh longer, preventing staleness. They’re portable, decorative for shelf appeal, durable for reuse, and eco-friendly as they’re fully recyclable, reducing waste compared to plastic or paper options.
Unlike glass or bamboo, our tinplate tea tins are lighter, shatter-resistant, and more opaque to block light degradation. They provide better airtightness for flavor preservation, affordability, and full customization, making them ideal for bulk tea storage and branding.
We provide cylindrical tins (diameters 45-106mm, adjustable heights), square tins for multi-pack needs, rectangular, and novelty shapes like stars or books. Capacities range from mini 50g to large 500g, tailored to loose-leaf tea, bags, or herbs.
Choose from slip lids for easy access, double lids for enhanced sealing, lever lids, clasp locks with rubber gaskets for anti-oxidation, pillow lids for flush designs, or window lids for visibility. All prioritize freshness and convenience.
We use CMYK offset printing, silk screen for simple logos, embossing/debossing, and finishes like glossy, matte, spot varnish, or metallic gold/silver. Inner coatings include gold, silver, or clear lacquer for rust protection and food safety.
Absolutely—our versatile tins suit herbs, spices, coffee beans, sugar, candies, chocolate powder, pepper, baking mixes, or general dry food storage. Their durable, space-saving design makes them perfect for kitchen organization or travel.
Our MOQ starts at 500 units for custom designs, with flexible options for bulk wholesale. This allows cost-effective production while accommodating small to large orders for tea manufacturers and resellers.
From design approval, production typically takes 4-6 weeks, including material selection, printing, shaping, assembly, and quality checks. We ensure timely delivery with updates throughout for your peace of mind.
