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 Packaging, a leading tea tin manufacturer, crafts tins that 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 enhanced sealing, we offer double lids: a main lid plus an inner plug for dual air protection. Clasp-lock or latch lids (metal or plastic latches with rubber gaskets) ensure a tight clamp for maximum airtightness. Screw-top (twist-on) lids with threaded rings provide a secure seal, while lids with clear viewing windows allow consumers to see the tea inside. Each lid design ensures easy opening and re-closing while maintaining a sealed environment to keep 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 produces premium tea tins using automated high-volume production lines, beginning with food-grade tinplate (0.23 mm thick) that is precision-stamped into bodies, bases, and lids. Each component then receives high-resolution lithographic printing and coating before assembly with lids and optional inner seals. Every tin is rigorously inspected and leak-tested to ensure integrity and freshness. Our facilities meet major international certifications including ISO 9001 and SEDEX, and comply with FDA and LFGB safety standards, guaranteeing products that are fully food-safe and manufacturered under strict quality controls.
With advanced automation and multi-shift operations, we produce up to 80,000 tea tins daily—delivering both high volume and meticulous attention to detail. Built for commercial use, Shining tins offer robust sealing, premium materials, and exceptional decoration to highlight your brand. We are a trusted global partner for custom tea tins of any size or design, offering reliable quality and on-time delivery.
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 offer custom tea tins in rectangular, square, and cylindrical shapes, with heights adjustable from 83 mm to 188 mm. All dimensions—including width, length, and height—can be tailored to your specific needs, from compact travel sizes to large-capacity canisters.
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 minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom designs is 20,000 units, offering scalable and cost-effective production tailored for both 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.
