The featured green square tea tin box is suitable for retail green
tea, tea bags, jasmine green tea, loose leaf products and premium
tea gift collections. For stronger moisture and oxygen protection,
we recommend combining the metal tin with a properly sealed inner
pouch selected for the specific tea product.

and estimated order quantity. Our team will recommend a suitable tin
structure before quotation.
Why This Green Tea Tin Box Works for Wholesale Tea Brands
A successful green tea package must do more than look attractive on a
retail shelf. It must fit the actual tea, support the inner pouch,
communicate the brand clearly, withstand export handling and remain
practical for future repeat orders.
Designed Around Green Tea Packaging
This custom green tea tin is designed for packaged tea products
rather than general household storage. It can be developed for
loose leaf green tea, individually wrapped tea bags, matcha,
jasmine green tea, tea samples and premium gift collections.
The exterior colour does not have to be green. Buyers may choose
botanical artwork, a signature Pantone green, a natural metallic
finish or a completely different colour system based on their
brand guidelines.
Rigid and Light-Blocking Outer Packaging
The metal body provides a rigid outer package that helps protect
the packed tea from crushing, direct light and ordinary handling
during storage, retail display and transportation.
A metal tin should not automatically be treated as the complete
moisture and oxygen barrier. For green tea products that require
stronger freshness protection, a sealed aluminium foil pouch or
another suitable primary packaging system should be used inside
the tin.
One Tin Structure for Multiple Green Tea SKUs
Tea brands can use one existing mould for several green tea
products and distinguish each SKU through artwork, colour,
labels or paper sleeves. This approach helps reduce repeated
tooling costs and creates a consistent retail packaging family.
- Sencha green tea
- Dragon Well tea
- Gunpowder green tea
- Chunmee green tea
- Jasmine green tea
- Organic green tea
- Green tea bags
- Seasonal green tea blends
Efficient Retail and Gift Packaging
A green square tea tin box provides broad printable panels for
product names, logos, botanical artwork, brewing instructions,
barcodes, QR codes and importer information.
Square and rectangular structures also arrange neatly inside
gift boxes, master cartons, retail displays and warehouse
shelving.
Custom Colour Control
Pantone colour references can be used when a buyer needs a
consistent signature green across several tin sizes or repeat
production orders.
CMYK printing is suitable for botanical illustrations, tea
garden photography, detailed patterns and multi-colour artwork.
A physical printed sample is recommended because colour on
printed metal may differ slightly from artwork shown on a screen.
Bulk Manufacturing and Export Support
Our project service covers structure selection, existing mould
recommendations, artwork checking, sampling, metal printing,
forming, quality inspection and export packing.
Buyers may also request support for foil pouches, paper dividers,
inserts, sleeves and outer gift packaging.
Choosing the Right Tin for Different Green Tea Products
Different types of green tea require different internal space, lid
structures and packing methods. The following guide can help purchasing
teams prepare an initial packaging specification.
| Green Tea Product | Recommended Structure | Packaging Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Loose Leaf Green Tea | Square or round tin | Confirm the actual leaf volume and use a sealed inner pouch when stronger barrier protection is required. |
| Dragon Well or Flat-Leaf Tea | Wider tin body | Allow sufficient internal space to reduce unnecessary compression of long or flat tea leaves. |
| Gunpowder Green Tea | Compact square or round tin | Rolled tea leaves normally have a higher packing density than loose flat-leaf tea. |
| Jasmine Green Tea | Tin with sealed foil pouch | Consider aroma retention, pouch sealing and separation from other strongly scented products. |
| Green Tea Bags | Square or rectangular tin | Confirm the individual tea bag size, quantity and packing direction before selecting the tin. |
| Matcha Powder | Small round tin with inner lid | Often selected for compact premium packaging. Final protection depends on the full closure and inner packing system. |
| Green Tea Gift Set | Several matching tins | Use one structure with different artwork to create a coordinated multi-flavour collection. |
| Tea Sample Collection | Mini tea tins | Suitable for tasting sets, subscription boxes, promotional gifts and seasonal launches. |
Do Not Select a Tea Tin by Weight Alone
Tea tin capacity should not be calculated only by the stated net
weight. A compact gunpowder green tea and a loose flat-leaf tea may
occupy very different volumes even when both products weigh 100g.
Final tin dimensions should be confirmed by testing the buyer’s
actual tea, tea bag arrangement or sealed inner pouch. Buyers can
provide pouch dimensions, filling samples or product photographs
for evaluation.
Existing Mould or Custom Mould?
Opening a new mould is not automatically the best choice for every green
tea packaging project. The correct option depends on order volume,
launch schedule, required dimensions and long-term brand strategy.
Choose an Existing Mould When You Need:
- Lower initial development cost
- A shorter packaging development schedule
- A proven square, rectangular or round tin structure
- A first product launch or market test
- Several tea SKUs using the same tin dimensions
- Lower structural development risk
Existing moulds are usually the most practical option for a
first green tea tin project. The packaging can still be fully
customised through printing, colour, surface finish, labels,
sleeves and embossing.
Choose a Custom Mould When You Need:
- An exclusive tin dimension
- A unique branded shape
- A special lid or closure structure
- A tin designed around an existing pouch or gift box
- A long-term high-volume packaging programme
- A distinctive flagship package
New mould development adds tooling cost and development time.
It is most appropriate when the exclusive structure creates
meaningful commercial value for the tea brand.

Tea Importers and Distributors
Build a coordinated packaging range for several tea origins,
product varieties or private label customers.
Application Case: A Multi-SKU Green Tea Packaging Project
A private label tea company needed coordinated packaging for classic
green tea, jasmine green tea and a premium loose leaf blend. The buyer
wanted the three products to share one packaging structure while
remaining easy to distinguish on retail shelves.
Packaging Requirements
- One consistent tin structure for three tea varieties
- A sealed foil pouch inside each metal tin
- Clear visual differences between the three SKUs
- A consistent signature green across the collection
- Standardised export carton dimensions
Packaging Challenges
- The buyer wanted to avoid developing three separate moulds.
- The inner pouch dimensions had to fit comfortably.
- Each product needed a distinctive retail identity.
- Barcode and regulatory information required fixed positions.
Recommended Solution
- Select one existing square tea tin mould.
- Test the largest finished inner pouch before approval.
- Use one shared Pantone green across all three designs.
- Change secondary colours and botanical artwork by SKU.
- Keep barcode and legal information in consistent positions.
- Use paper dividers to reduce scratching during export.
Project Value
The shared tin format simplified artwork planning, carton
packing, warehouse handling and future repeat orders. Different
printed designs allowed each tea variety to maintain its own
identity without requiring a separate tin structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a green tea tin box?
A green tea tin box is a metal package used for green tea,
tea bags, matcha or related tea products. The word “green” may
describe the tea inside the package or the exterior colour of
the tin. The exterior can be green or customised to match the
buyer’s brand.
Are you a green tea tin box manufacturer in China?
Yes. TinpackPro provides custom China green tea tin box
manufacturing services for tea brands, importers, distributors,
gift suppliers and private label buyers requiring bulk
production.
Can the tin be used for loose leaf green tea?
Yes. A tin for green tea can be developed for loose leaf
products, but the dimensions should be confirmed using the
actual tea volume or sealed pouch. Different leaf shapes can
have very different packing densities.
Does a metal tin keep green tea fresh?
A green tea tin metal package provides a rigid and light-blocking
outer structure. Overall freshness protection also depends on
the lid, inner pouch, sealing process, filling environment and
storage conditions. A sealed foil pouch is recommended when
stronger moisture and oxygen protection is required.
Can I order a green square tea tin box?
Yes. Green square tea tin boxes are available for custom
printing and wholesale production. Round, rectangular and other
existing tin structures are also available.
What green tea tin sizes are available?
We offer existing mould sizes and custom dimensions. The
recommended size depends on the tea type, target weight, inner
pouch dimensions and preferred lid structure.
How do I choose a tin for 100g of green tea?
Do not select a tin based only on the 100g weight. A dense rolled
tea may require much less space than a loose flat-leaf tea.
Testing with the actual tea or completed inner pouch is the
safest way to confirm capacity.
Can you match our brand green colour?
Yes. Buyers can provide a Pantone reference, printed colour
sample or brand guideline. A physical printed sample is
recommended because the appearance of colour on metal may differ
from artwork displayed on a computer screen.
Can you print our logo and product information?
Yes. We can print logos, tea names, botanical artwork, brewing
instructions, barcodes, QR codes, origin information and
importer details. Embossed and debossed logos are also available.
What is the MOQ for custom green tea tins?
The standard MOQ is 5,000 pieces per design. The final MOQ may
depend on the tin size, printing arrangement, number of designs
and required surface treatment.
How long does sampling take?
A printed sample normally takes approximately 7–10 days after
the structure, artwork and production details are confirmed.
Complex embossing or custom mould development may require
additional time.
How long does bulk production take?
Standard production normally takes approximately 25–35 days
after sample approval, deposit and final order confirmation.
The schedule depends on the order quantity, printing process,
tooling and production capacity.
Can you supply foil pouches or gift boxes with the tins?
Yes. Inner foil pouches, paper dividers, inserts, sleeves and
outer gift boxes can be discussed as part of the complete
packaging project.
Can one tin structure be used for several tea flavours?
Yes. Many private label brands use one tin structure for several
tea SKUs and change the artwork, product name or secondary colour
for each variety. This can simplify procurement, storage and
future repeat orders.
