Custom Printed Tins with Inserts – The Secret to Premium, Organized Packaging and Effective Tin Packaging
When it comes to packaging premium products—whether it’s loose-leaf tea, gourmet chocolates, skincare balms, or artisanal cookies—how your product is presented matters just as much as what’s inside. That’s where custom printed tins with inserts and Tin Packaging play a vital role in creating a lasting impression. Incorporating Tin Packaging elevates your product’s appeal.
At Stannum Can, we design and manufacture fully customized metal tins with tailored internal inserts that keep products secure, organized, and elegantly displayed. Our Tin Packaging solutions, from soft foam cushions to molded pulp trays and precision-cut cardboard dividers, transform your tin from a simple container into a luxurious unboxing experience. Tin Packaging enhances overall presentation and maximizes shelf appeal.
And with full lithographic (litho) printing on the exterior, your branding stays sharp, vibrant, and shelf-ready—no labels, no peeling, just premium metal packaging that lasts.

Full-Color Litho Printing: Brand Every Surface
Your tin isn’t just a container—it’s a billboard. That’s why we use lithographic printing, the highest-quality method for metal packaging:
- Photo-realistic CMYK + optional spot colors
- Print on lid, base, and sides—full 360° branding
- Matte, gloss, or soft-touch varnishes available
- No adhesive labels = no peeling or fading
Whether your design is minimalist or intricate, litho printing delivers crisp lines, rich gradients, and consistent color across your entire order.
Food-Safe & Sustainable by Design
All tins intended for food, tea, coffee, or cosmetics are produced with food-grade interior coatings, including BPA-non-intent (BPA-NI) options where required. The steel body is non-porous, odor-resistant, and blocks light and moisture—critical for preserving freshness and potency.
And because steel is infinitely recyclable, your packaging supports circular economy goals. According to the World Steel Association, over 85% of steel packaging is recovered and recycled globally—more than any other material.
MOQ 5,000 – Flexible for Growing Brands
We work with:
- Emerging DTC brands launching signature collections
- Established companies refreshing seasonal packaging
- Specialty retailers creating exclusive gift sets
Our 5,000-unit minimum per design balances accessibility with production efficiency. Need two versions (e.g., holiday vs. everyday)? We can often split the order (e.g., 3K + 2K) with minimal retooling—just ask.

Packaging That Protects, Delights & Gets Reused
A well-designed tin with a thoughtful insert doesn’t end up in the trash. Customers repurpose it for jewelry, desk storage, travel kits, or kitchen organization—keeping your brand in their daily lives long after purchase.
That’s the power of custom printed tins with inserts: they’re not just packaging. They’re a lasting impression.
