Custom Toy & Collectible Tins
Nostalgic, colourful tins for toys, figures and collectibles kids keep forever.
A tin turns a toy or collectible into a keepsake — sturdy enough for play, handsome enough to display, and reusable as the storage box the set lives in. Rigid tinplate protects small parts, prints in vivid full colour, and gives licensed and craft toys a premium, giftable presence. Tooled, printed and formed in-house. Offset-printed on durable tinplate and produced to order, these custom toy tins ship as wholesale runs from our own factory.

Make it unmistakably yours
Every tin is designed, tooled, offset-printed and formed under our own roof. Choose the shape and size, your Pantone-matched artwork, a food-safe interior lacquer, and finishes from matte and gloss to soft-touch, embossing and metallic inks.
Frequently asked questions
Can the tin hold small parts safely?
Yes. We add trays, foam or dividers so pieces are organised and protected, and the rigid body keeps the set intact through play and storage.
Can you match our brand colours and finish?
Yes — we offset-print to your exact artwork in Pantone-matched colour, then add matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot-UV, embossing or metallic-ink effects to suit a premium toy-brand brand.
What is the minimum order for a custom tin?
Custom-printed toy tins run 5,000–25,000 pieces per design — larger tins sit at the lower end, smaller ones higher. Plain, unprinted tins on a mould we already hold can be supplied in smaller quantities; printed tins are always made to order, because we hold moulds rather than finished printed stock.
Can you make a custom shape or size?
Yes. We build our own tooling in-house, so a bespoke shape, embossed lid or special format for your toy or kit tin is all possible. New-tooling lead times are confirmed with your quote.
Is the printing bright enough for character artwork?
Yes — offset printing reproduces vivid, detailed artwork and Pantone colours, ideal for licensed and character ranges.
