Description
Our custom slim sliding lid tin box in 105 × 52 × 11 mm is developed for mint brands, confectionery companies, promotional suppliers, retailers and private label buyers that need compact metal packaging with a convenient sliding opening. The shallow rectangular format combines a printed tinplate body with a PP sliding lid, creating a practical pocket-size package for mints, lozenges, pressed candy and other small-format products.
At only 11 mm high, this tin is noticeably slimmer than many conventional small metal boxes. The low-profile structure makes it easy to carry, display and distribute, while the flat metal body provides useful space for custom graphics, logos and retail branding. For bulk buyers, the existing 105 × 52 × 11 mm format also provides a practical starting point for customised production without developing the product structure from zero.

Why Use a Sliding Lid for Compact Mint Packaging?
A sliding lid changes the way a small tin is opened and used. Instead of completely removing a loose lid or lifting a hinged cover, the user slides the cover to access the contents and pushes it back into position after use.
This type of opening is particularly suitable for products that may be accessed several times during the day, such as breath mints and lozenges.
- Quick sliding access for frequently used products
- No separate loose metal lid to place aside during use
- Compact construction suitable for pocket-size packaging
- Distinctive opening experience compared with conventional slip-lid tins
- Useful for branded retail and promotional products
The sliding action should feel controlled rather than excessively loose or difficult to move. For this reason, lid fit and sliding performance form an important part of production review and quality control.
Only 11mm High: A Slim Pocket-Size Tin Format
The 105 × 52 × 11 mm dimensions give this product a long, shallow profile. The slim format is especially useful where buyers want the durability and printable surface of metal packaging without the bulk of a deeper tin.
This makes it suitable for products designed to be carried in a pocket, handbag, travel kit or small retail display.
- 105 mm length provides useful branding space
- 52 mm width keeps the overall format compact
- 11 mm height creates a noticeably slim profile
- Flat rectangular shape supports efficient display arrangements
- Small format is suitable for promotional distribution and gift sets
For wholesale buyers ordering several thousand units, product dimensions also affect carton utilisation, warehousing and retail display. The shallow profile can help make better use of available packing space, although the final carton configuration should always be checked against the actual product and order quantity.
PP Sliding Lid with a Custom Printed Metal Body
This product combines two different material functions within one compact structure. The tinplate body provides the main branding surface, while the PP sliding lid creates the opening mechanism.
The printed metal body can carry brand artwork, product graphics and promotional messages, while the sliding cover provides repeated access to the contents. This combination gives the product a different feel from an all-metal hinged tin or traditional removable-lid box.
Depending on the project, customisation can include:
- Full-colour CMYK printing on the tin body
- Pantone colour matching for established brands
- CMYK and Pantone combinations
- Logo and product artwork placement
- Matt or gloss printed finish
- Selected metallic visual effects
- Custom retail labels or barcodes
- Individual packaging where required
- Custom export carton configuration
If the colour or appearance of the PP sliding component is important to the project, this should be discussed before artwork and production are finalised so that the complete product can be reviewed as one packaging system.
What Makes a Good Sliding Lid?
A sliding lid may appear simple, but the fit between the cover and the body has a direct effect on the user’s experience.
If the sliding component is too loose, the package may feel unstable or move too easily during handling. If it is too tight, opening becomes inconvenient and unnecessary friction may develop during repeated use.
A well-controlled sliding structure should balance:
- Smooth opening movement
- Controlled resistance
- Consistent alignment
- Reliable retention during normal handling
- Repeatable performance across the production batch
For B2B buyers, this is one reason a physical sample can be useful before mass production. Artwork can be evaluated visually, while the actual sliding action can be checked by hand.
Design the Artwork Around the Sliding Motion
Artwork for a sliding lid tin should not be treated exactly like artwork for a fixed-lid metal box. Because one component moves relative to the other, important graphics need to be positioned with the opening action in mind.
Before the design is approved, buyers should consider:
- Where the main logo appears when the tin is fully closed
- Which areas become exposed when the lid slides open
- Whether important text could be partially covered during movement
- The visual relationship between the sliding lid and printed tin body
- Front and back orientation when the product is displayed
- Barcode and regulatory information placement where required
This planning becomes especially important when the artwork includes large logos, detailed illustrations or information that needs to remain visible in a specific position.
Custom Printing for Mint and Lozenge Brands
The long rectangular body provides a useful canvas for branded retail packaging. Buyers can develop a clean corporate design, a colourful confectionery identity or a promotional graphic depending on the intended market.
Typical artwork can include:
- Brand logos
- Mint or lozenge product graphics
- Flavour identification
- Promotional campaign artwork
- Illustrations and patterns
- Retail product information
- Limited-edition or seasonal graphics
For colour-sensitive projects, Pantone references are recommended where exact corporate colours are important. Colours displayed on monitors can differ from the final appearance on printed metal, so physical or defined colour references provide a more reliable basis for approval.
Popular Applications for This Sliding Lid Tin
The 105 × 52 × 11 mm format is best suited to compact products that benefit from repeated access and portable packaging.
Breath Mints
The shallow pocket-size structure works well for branded mint products intended to be carried and opened frequently throughout the day.
Lozenges
The sliding format provides convenient access for individually counted or loose lozenge products, subject to the final internal packing and product requirements.
Pressed Candy and Candy Tablets
Brands can use the printed metal body to create a stronger retail identity than generic plastic packaging while keeping the overall pack compact.
Promotional Mint Tins
Logos and campaign artwork can turn the tin into a reusable promotional product for events, corporate programmes and branded giveaways.
Private Label Collections
Retailers and distributors can develop their own artwork around the same established tin format for different flavours, markets or campaigns.
One Tin Format, Multiple Artwork Designs
Wholesale buyers do not always need a different metal structure for every new product design. Once the 105 × 52 × 11 mm format has been approved, multiple artwork concepts can be developed around the same basic dimensions.
For example, a mint brand could use the same structure for several flavours, while a promotional supplier could create different graphics for separate campaigns or customers.
This approach can make repeat purchasing easier because the key structural dimensions and sliding mechanism remain consistent while the visual design changes.
- Different flavour artwork
- Seasonal editions
- Promotional campaign versions
- Retailer-specific branding
- Regional artwork variations
- Private label product collections
An Existing 105×52×11mm Format for Faster Project Development
When the required dimensions are close to this 105 × 52 × 11 mm format, buyers can begin from an existing product structure rather than immediately developing an entirely new tin.
This allows the early stages of the project to focus on practical questions such as artwork, lid appearance, packing and product compatibility.
If this size does not suit the intended product, send us the preferred length, width and height or a reference sample. We can review other available tin structures before discussing new tooling.
From Artwork Review to Bulk Production
A custom sliding tin project is easier to control when the product structure, printing and packing requirements are confirmed before mass production begins.
- Confirm the tin format. Check whether the 105 × 52 × 11 mm dimensions suit the intended product.
- Confirm the application. Tell us whether the tin will be used for mints, lozenges, pressed candy, promotional products or another suitable application.
- Review the sliding structure. Confirm the expected opening direction, lid fit and product handling requirements.
- Prepare the artwork. Graphics are positioned according to the actual tin body and sliding movement.
- Confirm colours and finishes. CMYK, Pantone references and surface finish requirements are reviewed before printing.
- Approve the sample where required. A physical sample can be used to review printing, dimensions and sliding performance.
- Proceed to bulk manufacturing. Approved products move through printing, forming, assembly, inspection and export packing.
Custom printed samples normally take approximately 7–10 days after artwork and production requirements have been confirmed. Typical mass production takes around 25–35 days, depending on quantity, printing complexity, packing requirements and the factory production schedule at the time of order.
Wholesale Sliding Tin Production for B2B Buyers
Itinbox supplies custom metal packaging for importers, distributors, mint and confectionery brands, promotional suppliers, retailers and private label buyers sourcing commercial quantities.

Buyers planning repeat orders can retain the approved product format while updating artwork, flavours or campaign graphics according to future requirements.
Quality Checks for Sliding Lid Tin Production
For a sliding tin, visual appearance is only one part of quality control. The lid movement and alignment also need to remain consistent across the production batch.
Typical production checks may include:
- Overall tin dimensions
- Tinplate surface condition
- Body forming and edge quality
- Artwork position and print registration
- Colour comparison with approved references
- Sliding lid alignment
- Opening resistance and movement
- Retention during normal handling
- Surface scratches or dents
- Individual packing where specified
- Export carton condition
For products intended for retail sale, barcode placement, individual packing and outer carton requirements should also be confirmed before mass production.
