Valentine's tins
Three of them are heart-shaped moulds, not printed hearts
Ready-made Valentine designs for chocolate and confectionery, three on true heart-shaped moulds. Printed on moulds we already own — no tooling cost, no wait.
Most Valentine's packaging is a heart printed on a rectangle. These are not. Masaş owns four genuine heart-shaped moulds — 235 × 223 × 75, 203 × 195 × 40, 92 × 88 × 25 and a 263 × 263 mm heart tray — cut and held in İstanbul, so the shape itself is the gift rather than the graphic on top of it.
What you are looking at
The designs on this page are ours — drawn in-house and shown here so you can see what the range looks like before committing to anything. Each one is ready to print on moulds we already own, and goes into production once there is an order behind it. That means no tooling cost and no wait for a new shape — only printing and forming.
Tins in this range
Our own designs, printed on our own moulds.
Ordering from this range
- Minimum order
- From 5,000 pieces per design
- Lead time
- 4–6 weeks from artwork approval
- Tooling
- None — these use moulds we already own
Because the mould already exists, a ready-made range skips the eight weeks and the tooling cost a new shape needs. What is left is printing and forming.
What this range is not
A ready-made design is not exclusive. Anyone can order the same tin, and some of them will be your competitors. If you need artwork nobody else can buy, that is a custom project — same moulds, your own design, and the exclusivity applies to the artwork, not to the shape.
How custom projects work →Frequently asked questions
Are these really heart-shaped tins, or printed hearts?
Three of them are heart-shaped moulds: 235 × 223 × 75 mm deep, 203 × 195 × 40 mm shallow, and a 263 × 263 mm heart tray. The tooling exists and belongs to us. The rest of the range is printed artwork on round and rectangular bodies, and the page says which is which.
When are Valentine's tins ordered?
For 14 February, artwork should be approved by October. Printing and forming take four to six weeks, filling and freight take the rest, and European retail wants chocolate on shelf in the first days of January. Autumn is the window.
Is Valentine's worth a tin at all, or is card enough?
It depends what is inside. For a boxed chocolate that is bought as the gift itself, the tin is what makes it feel like one, and it is kept afterwards — which is the whole argument for metal. For a cheap impulse line, card is honestly the right call and we will say so.
Can we get the heart shape with our own artwork?
Yes, and that is the more interesting order. The mould is ours and stays in İstanbul, but the artwork printed on it can be entirely yours and exclusive to you. Same shape, same lead time, no tooling to cut.
