Custom Mint Tin Containers

Mint tin containers are used for various purposes. From giveaways to everyday use, these boxes are the most effective packaging solution. At our company, we manufacture these tin containers under the guidance of experts. From core material to advanced finishings, every element of the packaging shows functionality and finesse.

Although these tin containers are more expensive than the disposable packaging, their repetitive use makes them an economical choice. In addition to this, custom mint tin containers are an excellent option to enhance the market value of your product and get the maximum value due to their high-end look.

What Mint Tins Are Made Of

Tin plate is used in the manufacturing of these containers. Tin is a time-tested material that has high strength and is sustainable. The tip place that is commonly used in the manufacturing of the boxes consists of two layers.

Cold-Rolled Mild Steel Core

The inner side of the tin plate features cold-rolled mild steel, providing structural rigidity to custom tin boxes. To refine steel and give it a smooth and refined structure, we process it through heated rollers at room temperature. This step also gives a uniform structure and thickness to the material that helps in precise box forming.

Tin Coating

After passing the steel layer to the rollers, the tin coating is applied via electroplating. This coating prevents the corrosion of the steel and keeps it flawless for a long duration. In addition to this, tin acts as a food-safe barrier and improves the lateral forming characteristics. Key characteristics are as follows:

• Lightweight but strong enough to protect contents
• Recyclable and eco-friendly
• Support sustainability goals
• Safe for food contact
• Compliant with FDA and EU standards
• Malleable that can be converted into a small and malleable form.
• Customizable for embossed designs and closures

How Mint Tins Are Made

As a custom mint tin containers wholesale manufacturer, we use a precisely engineered process to produce your boxes. The mechanical forming is combined with protective and decorative finishes that ensure your tin boxes meet hygiene standards. The following steps are involved in the production of tin containers:

Sheet Cutting

Large coils of tin plates are flattened and cut into blanks. This is done as per the required size of the tins. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation for accurate box formation.

Stamping And Forming

Custom dies and high-tonnage presses are used for forming and stamping. The blank sheet is deep drawn into a cylindrical or rectangular shape for the base. Some of the blanks are formed into matching lids using shallow drawers or press-and-bend methods.

Trimming And Curling

After the formation of the sheet, the sharp edges are trimmed to the final dimension and then curled or hemmed. From round metal tin boxes to square ones, any shape can be provided for the boxes. Trimming and cutting ensure:

• Smooth handling
• Improved safety
• Better lid fit 

Assembly Of Hinges Or Sliding Mechanisms

Depending on the container’s design, the lids are assembled and mechanically integrated into the base of the boxes. Hinged lids are mechanically riveted or integrated into the body, while sliding lids are assembled using guide channels. We also have the option of snap-fit or friction-fit lids that are formed with micron-level edge control to ensure a smooth and secure seal.

If a welding or locking mechanism is applicable on custom mint tin containers with lids, then mechanical fasteners or spot welding are used to join the different parts of the boxes that reinforce the structural integrity of the packaging.

What To Do For Accurate Fitting 

At our company, we make sure that each and every aspect of custom mint tin boxes is accurate and free from any kind of error. For this, you have to consider the following technicalities of the packaging:

• Dimensional Accuracy: Tight tolerance of ±0. 1 mm is required for the functionality of the lid. This is more accurately required
• Friction Fit Precision: Edge forming is controlled to strike a balance between ease of opening and secure closure.
• Surface Preparation: Before printing and coating, we pass the metal surface through degreasing processes and pre-treatment that improve ink adhesion.

Printing On Mint Tin Containers

At our company, custom mint tin containers no minimum design limitations are available. For this, we are giving custom printing. Printing is one of the crucial aspects of the packaging that directly influences how a brand is perceived by the customers. Our printing process is done in the following ways:

Artwork Separation into CMYK Layers

In this process, the artwork is digitally separated into four primary color layers. Each color is handled separately to allow precise blending and image reproduction. The four colors used in the manufacturing are:

• Cyan
• Magenta
• Yellow
• Black (Key)

Plate Preparation And Ink Transfer

For CMYK color plates, which are created using photosensitive materials that hold the design in a specific color. Ink is applied to the plate and then transferred to the rubber blanket. From the rubber blank, the design is transferred to the tin surface. The indirect method of ink transfer is used for custom-printed mint tins because it ensures smooth coverage without direct contact between the plate and the tin. This reduces the wear and maintains a sharp image quality.

Curing In Ovens

After the application of ink, the tins are passed through high-temperature ovens. This process hardens the ink and eyes that it bonds securely to the metal and becomes scratch and moisture resistant. Whether you need cannabis tin containers or you require spice tin boxes, the color will last for years.

Printing Enhancements

If you want to enhance the overall look and uniqueness of your custom empty mint tins, then you can go with our printing enhancement features. Post-printing enhancements give you simple, round metal tin boxes a look that will remarkably differentiate your brand from others. These options are:

• Full-Wrap Printing
• Metallic Inks and Gradients
• Edge-to-Edge Color Coverage
• Anti-Scratch Topcoats

Coatings

Coatings are essential to preserve the quality of mint tin containers. They also extend tin’s life and enhance its finish. From food-grade lacquer coating on the internal side to the application of anti-rust coatings on the exterior. Some of the coating options are:

• Clear or white epoxy coating
• Prevents direct contact between mints and metal
• Maintains freshness and flavor
• FDA-compliant and moisture-resistant

• Transparent protective layer
• Prevents corrosion from humidity or handling
• Ensures longevity and aesthetics
