Custom Tea Tins Sized to Your Leaf

Two teas can weigh exactly the same and need completely different tins. Tightly rolled Chinese teas like oolong and gunpowder green can be packed in different types of metal tin packaging. Long, twisted black leaves and fluffy white teas take up much more room. Powdered matcha is dense but needs a tight seal. That's why we size every custom tea tin around the tea going into it.

Usually a tin about 61 mm wide and 88 mm tall holds roughly 40 to 50 g of loose tea, less for very airy blends. A 4 oz plug-top tin holds around 100 to 125 g. Here are some suggestions to begin your custom tea tin packaging design.

Send us your product information, its weight, and a photo, and we'll match the tin height and diameter to it so the tin looks full, not half empty, when customers open it.

Choosing the Seal for Your Tea in Tin Box Packaging

The seal of your custom tea tin box depends on how long your tea needs to stay fresh. We offer you plenty of options to choose from 

• Double lid (inner lid plus outer lid): The tin comes with two separate lids. One sits inside the opening, directly on top of the tea, while the second fits over the top of the tin. Both lids work together to keep the tea covered and fresh. A silicone or foam ring can be added to make the closure tighter.

• Single slip lid. Simple and quick to open. Fine for tea bags and blends that get used up fast.

• Hinged lid. Stays attached, so it's handy for counter displays and cafes where tins are opened all day.

• Screw lid. A good fit for small matcha and powdered tea tins, where a fine powder shouldn't escape.

Should you add a foil pouch inside? If your tea will travel far, sit on a shelf for a long time, or you sell high-end leaves, packing it in a sealed pouch inside the tin gives the strongest protection. The tin then becomes the beautiful outer layer. For tea that's sold and used quickly, a well-fitted double lid is usually enough.

Will the tin change the taste? It does not. For further assurance and security, you can add food safe linings that not only preserve the texture of the tea but also keep it fresh and away from moisture. 

Mini Tea Tins for Tasting Flights and Samples

Mini tea tins hold just a few cups' worth and do a job big tins can't: they let people try before they commit. For this, tea brands order our 2 oz metal tins that hold 60 gm of the product. You have the option to go with 1 oz metal tins that complete the sample kit, carrying multiple flavored teas for the buyers to test. 

Tea brands use them for discovery sets of four or six blends, subscription boxes, hotel room amenities, trade show samples, and wedding favors. Because each one is small, the lid has room for little more than the blend name, so color coding by tea type (green for green tea, deep red for black, and so on) helps customers tell them apart at a glance.

Plan Every Panel of Your Tea Tin Packaging Design 

A round tea tin has more surfaces than people expect, and you can utilize every corner of it. Planning the design up front keeps your custom printed tea tins clean and easy to read:

• Front: brand name, blend name, and tea type. This is what a shopper sees on the shelf.

• Back or side: ingredients, net weight, best-by date, and any certifications such as organic.

• Opposite side: steeping guide with water temperature, time, and amount per cup.

• Lid top: your logo, or a color that identifies the blend when tins are stacked or stored in a drawer.

• Base: batch or lot number, and space for a barcode if you sell in shops.

For the finish, a matte varnish gives a calm, natural feel that suits green and herbal teas. Gloss makes rich colors pop. Textured varnishes, embossed logos, and metallic foil details add a premium touch to customized tea tins for gifting ranges. Visualize your design and leave the rest to expert tea tin packaging manufacturers. At HOF Pack, we give attention to detail to make your custom tea tin packaging a success. 

Printable Tea Tins for Retailers and Tea Brands

Not every tea seller wants a separate printed tin for every blend. Every customer requires a different type of printed tea tin to sell them as a collection.

• Printable tea tins for retailers: tea shops and cafes with a rotating menu can order tins printed with their shop branding and a blank panel left for a blend label. Change the label, and keep the tin.

• Printable tea tins for tea brands: brands with a fixed range can print every blend in full, so the whole line looks finished and retail-ready from day one.

• Plain tins: branded tea blends can also be sold in plain gold metal tins that exude elegance and communicate luxury. 

Custom Tea Tin Packaging Boxes for Gift Sets

A single tin is a purchase; three tins in a printed rigid box is a gift. Custom tea tin packaging boxes hold two to six tins in a fitted insert, with your branding on the outside and room on the back to describe each blend. 

They turn a tasting flight or a holiday trio into a present, and they protect the tins from scuffing in transit.
