Description
Our custom hinged mint tin box is designed for mints, candy tablets, lozenges, breath fresheners and small sweets packaging. The hinged lid keeps the cover connected to the tin body, making this small hinged mint tin convenient for repeated opening, pocket-size use and retail display.
As a China tin box manufacturer, we support OEM and wholesale projects for mint brands, candy companies, private label buyers, promotional gift suppliers and packaging distributors. Custom size, printing, embossing, surface finish, food-grade inner coating and packing options are available for different hinged mint tin projects.
Product Overview
A mint tin box with hinged lid is a practical packaging format for small dry products that need compact storage, easy access and a reusable metal container. Compared with paper boxes or soft packaging, a hinged metal tin provides stronger protection, a cleaner appearance and better long-term brand visibility.
This product is suitable for brands that need a small custom hinged mint tin for retail packaging, promotional use or private label candy projects. The lid, body, sidewall and bottom can be customized with your artwork, logo, colour system and product information.
Technical Structure of the Hinged Lid
The hinge structure is the key feature of this product. A well-made hinged lid helps improve the user experience by keeping the lid attached to the tin body during daily use. It also reduces the risk of losing the cover after opening.
For hinged mint tins, the structure should be checked from several points, including the hinge connection, lid alignment, rolled edge, front closing lip and opening angle. These details affect how smoothly the tin opens, how securely it closes and how consistent the product feels in bulk production.
| Structure Area | Function |
|---|---|
| Hinged Lid | Keeps the lid connected to the tin body for repeated opening and closing |
| Tin Body | Provides the main storage space for mints, candy tablets or small sweets |
| Rolled Edge | Improves edge safety, structure strength and handling feel |
| Front Closing Lip | Helps the lid sit properly on the body after closing |
| Inner Space | Can be adjusted according to product size, filling quantity and packing method |

Size, Capacity and Mold Selection
For a small hinged mint tin project, size selection should be based on the product dimensions, target filling quantity and retail positioning. If your product is a mint tablet, lozenge or small sweet, the internal length, width and height of the tin should match the product arrangement and filling method.
Existing molds can help reduce development time and tooling cost. If your brand requires a special size, new mold development can be evaluated according to your design, quantity and project timeline.
| Project Factor | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Mints, candy tablets, lozenges, gum pieces or small sweets |
| Target Capacity | Filling quantity, product count or target weight |
| Tin Size | Length, width, height and internal depth requirement |
| Mold Option | Existing mold selection or custom mold development |
| Packing Method | Direct filling, inner bag, paper insert or tray packing |
Material and Food Contact Considerations
This small metal mint tin can be made from food-grade tinplate with suitable surface printing and inner coating options. For dry confectionery products, the inner packing method should be confirmed before production.
If the mints or candy tablets will directly contact the tin, a suitable food-grade inner coating can be selected according to the product type. If the product is packed in an inner bag first, the tin mainly works as an outer metal container for protection, branding and retail presentation.
- Food-grade tinplate material available
- Inner coating option for direct food contact projects
- Inner bag or liner option for separated product packing
- Suitable for dry mints, lozenges, candy tablets and small sweets
- Reusable metal structure for long-term brand exposure
Printing and Branding Control Points
A custom hinged mint tin is not only a container but also a compact brand display surface. The lid is usually the primary branding area, while the sidewall and bottom can be used for colour extension, product information, barcode placement or repeating brand patterns.
We support CMYK printing, Pantone colour matching, matte finish, glossy finish, metallic effects, embossing and debossing. For private label mint tin packaging, these options help create a consistent product identity across different flavours or product lines.
| Branding Area | Custom Option |
|---|---|
| Lid | Logo, product name, flavour design and main artwork |
| Sidewall | Brand colour, pattern, product information or barcode area |
| Bottom | Batch information, label area or simple brand mark |
| Surface Finish | Matte, glossy, metallic effect, embossing or debossing |
