FAQ
Q1: Why should I choose YiCheng over other tin box manufacturers in China?
A: Finding a reliable partner can be tough, but our experience makes it easy. Since 2006, we have grown into one of the most trusted tin box manufacturers, serving global brands like Disney and Walmart. Unlike trading companies, we are a direct tin box factory. This means you get factory-direct pricing, strict quality control, and access to our massive library of over 6,000 existing molds—saving you significant time and tooling costs.
Q2: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom tin boxes?
A: For fully custom-printed metal packaging, our standard MOQ is typically 5,000 pieces per design. This is because offset printing requires a specific setup process. However, if you are ordering multiple designs of the same size, or if we have the material in stock, we can often be flexible. Just reach out to our sales team to discuss your specific project!
Q3: Do I have to pay for a new mold if I want a specific shape?
A: Not necessarily! As a well-established custom metal packaging supplier, we already own over 6,000 sets of molds covering round, square, rectangular, and unique shapes. There is a 90% chance we already have the exact size you need, which means zero tooling cost for you. If your project requires a completely unique 3D shape, we can develop a new mold, and the tooling fee is fully refundable once your accumulated order quantity reaches a certain amount.
Q4: Are your wholesale tin containers safe for direct food contact?
A: Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. All our wholesale tin containers—whether for tea, coffee, cookies, or mints—are manufactured using 100% food-grade tinplate. We use BPA-free clear varnish or gold lacquer for the interior coating. Our products strictly comply with FDA, LFGB, and EU food safety regulations, ensuring your consumables are perfectly safe. See our food-grade tin packaging options for cookies, chocolate, tea, coffee and other dry foods.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for samples and mass production?
A: We know that time-to-market is critical. Once your artwork is confirmed, creating a physical printed sample takes about 7 to 10 days. After you approve the sample, mass production usually takes 30 to 35 days. We operate multiple automated production lines to ensure we meet your deadlines, even during peak holiday seasons.
Q6: Can you handle the shipping and logistics to my warehouse?
A: Yes, we provide end-to-end solutions. Beyond manufacturing, our logistics team can arrange shipping via sea, air, or express train. Whether you prefer FOB Shenzhen, CIF, or DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) directly to your door or Amazon FBA warehouse, we handle the complex customs clearance so you can focus on selling.
