Application
Aluminum Tins for Candles
Sizes, wall thickness and lids for poured soy, paraffin and coconut wax.
Choose a candle tin by wax volume first, then by tin size and lid fit. A tin that is too small for the wax volume can be hard to fill and label, and a tin that is much larger than the wax volume can look empty. Confirm the chosen size and lid with a sample before bulk production, and check the closed tin for appearance and fit on the actual container.
- Wall thickness that survives a hot pour
- Lids that still seat after the first burn
- Sizes matched to common wax volumes

How to Choose a Screw-Top Aluminum Tin: Size, Finish, and Lead Time
Start with your fill size, then check diameter and height, then choose finish and printing. For small balms and samples, the 10g and 15ml screw-top options are the compact choices. For creams, wax, tea, and gifts, the 100g option is the mid-size choice. For larger-volume balm, wax, tea, and coffee packaging, the 200ml option is the large choice. All four standard options below are aluminum screw-top containers, with a standard MOQ of 5,000 pcs.

Read MoreFrequently asked questions
What size tin suits a candle?
Start with the wax volume, then choose a tin size that fits that volume without excess empty space. Confirm the size with a sample before bulk production, because the right size depends on the wax volume and the container shape.
What is the MOQ for candle tins?
The standard MOQ is 5,000 pcs per SKU. Smaller trial orders may be available depending on the product, so confirm volume before ordering.
How long do candle tins take?
Bulk production is 15–20 days after sample approval. Sample production usually takes 3–7 days, and custom mold development typically adds 7–15 days before mass production.
Can I order a custom candle tin size?
Yes. In-house mold development can design and tool a custom diameter, height, or shape. Confirm the final dimensions with a sample before bulk production.
