Custom Tin Boxes
Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs):
We provide this area to assist you with
immediate answers to frequently asked
questions. Certainly, you can email us
for additional clarification or answers to
questions not mentioned here.
What is Tinplate? Tinplate is
sheet steel covered with a thin layer of
tin. We use tinplate to manufacture
our custom tin boxes.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
for custom tins?
1. Blank Tins: The
minimum order for blank tins from an
existing mold is 5000 pieces. Blank
tins have no artwork attached.
2. Printed or Embossed Tins:
The minimum order for printed or embossed
tins is 10000 pieces.
3. New Mold: If you have
a design that requires us to make a new
mold, the minimum order is 10000 pieces.
How long does the whole process take?
Make new mold: 20 days. This is
not necessary if you use one of our existing
designs.
Create your sample using your artwork:
15 days.
Production of your order: 30 - 45
days.
Delivery from China or Germany to your
location: 30 days.
If you use an existing design, we can
proceed directly into making the sample with
your artwork. After receiving your artwork
and payment, it will takes us about 15
working days to produce the sample. After
your approval of the sample, production time
in our factory can take up to 45 days. The
transit time for the freight from China or
Germany can take up to one month. These
estimates can vary by order quantity. If you
use a custom design (not an existing mold in
our stock) it may take another 20 days to
create the custom mold. Delays occur with
slow approvals and slow payments. We submit
approvals to you by email. You do not
receive an actual sample of the tin. We send
pictures. If you require an actual sample,
there is a USD$75.00 shipping charge.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept payment via VISA, MasterCard,
PayPal, company check and wire transfer.
What are the payment terms? All
terms are prepaid. We do not provide credit
terms for custom orders. Please note that we
do not start production on samples or
approved designs until payment has been
received and verified by our bank.
Do you offer RUSH Service? We cannot
decrease the production time overseas. We
can offer to air freight the tins to your
address. Using international air freight
will save time on the shipping from
overseas. However, the air freight charges
are very cost prohibitive.
Are you sure that no lead paint is used
in the manufacturing process? We do not
use lead paint in the imprint process. The
imprint is applied by silk-screen and uses
ink, not paint. All of our containers are
safe for use with food and related products.
We always suggest that you place a proper
barrier between the tin and the edible
foodstuffs. Most customers use plastic or
paper as a safe barrier.
