Confectionery is where tins do their best work. A candy tin is bought as a gift, kept as a container and reopened dozens of times, which is exactly the behavior a brand wants. GTS Packaging Solutions manufactures custom tins for candy, chocolate, mints, cookies, nuts and seasonal assortments, all food-grade certified. Shape is not limited to a size chart: we work from hundreds of existing molds and usually find one that fits without a mold charge. Minimum order is 1,000 units.

FAQs

A hinged lid, because it stays attached through hundreds of openings. Pop lock and mini pop lids are the alternatives for very small formats.

Can chocolates be held in place inside the tin?

Yes, food-grade certified.
Can one tin carry several seasonal designs?
