Custom Tin Packaging Capabilities

Ten coordinated work areas connect structural decisions, decoration, sampling, production planning, and delivery.

Structure Selection
01

Structure Selection

What it is
Review standard and custom tin formats, closures, proportions, and functional requirements.
Best suited for
Programs defining the right container format before dimensions and decoration are finalized.
Project considerations
Product use, fill method, closure, stacking, presentation, and available structures.
Discuss This Capability
Dimensions & Product Fit
02

Dimensions & Product Fit

What it is
Define internal and external dimensions around the product, insert, filling, and packing method.
Best suited for
Projects where fit, protection, presentation, or pack-out efficiency is critical.
Project considerations
Product measurements, tolerances, clearance, insert space, and carton configuration.
Discuss This Capability
Existing Tooling Review
03

Existing Tooling Review

What it is
Compare the brief against available molds and proven structural options.
Best suited for
Programs seeking a suitable established format with reduced development scope.
Project considerations
Dimensions, closure behavior, decoration area, compatibility, and availability.
Discuss This Capability
New Tooling Development
04

New Tooling Development

What it is
Engineer new dimensions, shapes, components, or closure geometry when existing tooling does not fit.
Best suited for
Distinctive programs requiring a project-specific structure or functional detail.
Project considerations
Tooling scope, tolerances, sample stages, schedule, ownership, and approval criteria.
Discuss This Capability
Printing & Artwork
05

Printing & Artwork

What it is
Plan artwork coverage, spot colors, registration, seams, and production references.
Best suited for
Branded retail, gifting, promotional, and seasonal packaging programs.
Project considerations
Artwork readiness, color targets, curved surfaces, registration, and approved references.
Discuss This Capability
Coatings & Finishes
06

Coatings & Finishes

What it is
Define matte, gloss, metallic, textured, and application-specific surface treatments.
Best suited for
Programs requiring a controlled visual, tactile, or protective finish.
Project considerations
Product compatibility, appearance target, abrasion, handling, and production reference.
Discuss This Capability
Embossing & Debossing
07

Embossing & Debossing

What it is
Coordinate raised or recessed metal details with structure and printed artwork.
Best suited for
Logos, patterns, borders, tactile details, and premium presentation.
Project considerations
Depth, location, artwork registration, tooling, and forming limitations.
Discuss This Capability
Windows, Handles & Inserts
08

Windows, Handles & Inserts

What it is
Integrate viewing windows, carrying hardware, and internal product-fit components.
Best suited for
Gift packs, portable kits, assortments, and products requiring controlled presentation.
Project considerations
Component fit, assembly, load, protection, material choice, and packing requirements.
Discuss This Capability
Sampling & Approval
09

Sampling & Approval

What it is
Confirm structure, fit, function, decoration, and finish against a physical reference.
Best suited for
Commercial programs requiring a documented production approval standard.
Project considerations
Approval responsibilities, artwork stage, testing needs, revision scope, and timing.
Discuss This Capability
Packing & Delivery
10

Packing & Delivery

What it is
Plan inner protection, master cartons, pallets, documentation, and transportation handoff.
Best suited for
Programs with defined handling, storage, freight, destination, or delivery requirements.
Project considerations
Pack count, abrasion protection, carton strength, labels, destination, and logistics.
