Applications for Mint & Candy Brands

Suitable for mints, candy, gum, and small tablets.
Tin packaging is durable and reusable — customers often keep the tin, so your logo stays visible long after the product is gone.

Tinplate Thickness Options

Standard thickness: 0.23mm
This is the most common choice for custom mint tins — a good balance of cost, rigidity, and daily-use feel.

Thicker options: 0.25mm / 0.28mm+
If you need higher durability (for example, outdoor kits or long-term carry), we can increase thickness for better dent resistance.

How to choose
Share your application and packaging requirements — we’ll recommend the right thickness to control cost and reduce transit damage.

Quality Control for Consistent Reorders

For mint and candy brands, the biggest risk is inconsistency across batches. We focus on preventing: color deviation, scratches, loose lids, edge burrs, and rust spots.

A. Incoming Inspection (Raw Materials)

Tinplate surface check (scratches, dents, coating condition)
Basic dimensional checks before production

B. In-Process QC (During Production)

Fit & closure check (lid tightness and alignment)
Surface inspection (scratches, pinholes, edge burrs, curled edge smoothness)

C. Pre-Shipment QC (Before Loading)

Color consistency control based on the approved sample
100% inspection available for your orders
Carton drop test to reduce transit damage risk

Sampling & Customization Process

If you already have an artwork file (AI/PDF Format), we offer two options before we make the physical sample.

Option 1 – 3D effect drawing (Visual Mockup)
We put your artwork on our die-line and make the effect drawing. You can check the result on your computer or phone, including the embossing/debossing part. This step will be finished within 8 hours after we receive your artwork.

Option 2 – Plastic 3D mockup (Physical Mockup)
This is for new tooling projects. Mold accuracy is very important. We print a plastic mockup based on the die-line. You can check the exact size and test your product inside. It helps you avoid expensive mold mistakes (tooling can cost thousands of USD). Lead time is about one week. The cost is around USD 200 and can be deducted from your future order. See details here.

01. Submit your requirements
Size, quantity, lid type, bottom type, printing/finish.

02. Artwork check
We check your file and confirm the print area, key details (colors, gloss/matte finish etc.), and embossing/debossing position.

03. 3D effect drawing or plastic mockup (your choice)

3D effect drawing: Quick visual check (8 hours).
Plastic mockup: Physical check for new tooling (cost deductible).

04. Pre-Production Sample (PPS) – about 14 days
We make a real tinplate sample using the same production line and process. You will check all details including:

Size (exact size and tolerance)

Color (CMYK/Pantone, gloss/matte finish)

Lid type – choose from eight options (see details and pictures here):

Outer-rolled lid
Inner-rolled lid
Double layer lid
Arc lid
Step lid
Parabolic lid
Inset lid
Screw lid

Bottom type – choose from three:

Buttoned bottom – no step, inner-rolled edge visible. Sealing is lower.
Covered bottom – has a step, seals better than buttoned bottom.
One-time forming bottom – body and bottom are formed together. No edge or step. Used for small tins. Height cannot be too high.

- Printing & varnish – registration, gloss/matte area, scratch resistance
- Embossing/debossing – position, depth, clarity
- Inner coating – food-grade clear or custom color

We will share photos and send the Pre-Production Sample (PPS) to you by DHL/FedEx. You can check it by yourself.

05. Sample confirmation
You check the PPS. If everything is correct, we go to mass production. If you need changes, we will adjust and send a new PPS for you to confirm again.

06. Mass production & shipment
After you approve the PPS, we start mass production. Lead time is 25–35 days after PPS approval, depending on quantity.

Please note:

3D effect drawing is computer-made. Actual color may be slightly different due to metal and varnish.
Plastic 3D mockup is only for size and fit check. Final look is based on the approved PPS.
