How to Choose an Aluminum Box Size: A Guide to 10g–200g Standard Sizes
Start with fill weight, then check the complete set size. For small fills, the 10g to 20g boxes are the compact choices. For mid-size fills, the 30g to 80g boxes are the middle choices. For larger fills, the 100g to 200g boxes are the large choices. The standard MOQ is 5,000 pcs per SKU, samples usually take 3–7 days, and bulk production usually takes 15–20 days after sample approval.

Step 1: Match the box to the fill weight
Use fill weight as the first filter, not the box name alone:
- Small: 10g, 15g, and 20g.
- Mid-size: 30g, 50g, 60g, and 80g.
- Large: 100g, 150g, and 200g.
A box that is too small for the fill can be hard to close and label. A box that is much larger than the fill can look empty. Confirm the chosen size with a sample before bulk production.
Step 2: Check the complete set size
The table above lists the complete set size for each box. Check both numbers against your fill, label, and outer box before ordering. If the standard sizes do not fit, in-house mold development can design and tool a custom diameter, height, or shape, and mold development typically adds 7–15 days before mass production.
Step 3: Choose finish and printing
The finish and printing options listed in the FAQ are:
- Surface finish: Silver, matte, brushed, polished, and custom color finishes.
- Logo printing: Silk screen, laser engraving, or offset printing, plus embossing and debossing.
Choose a finish that matches the product position first, then confirm the printing method for the logo or artwork.
Step 4: Plan MOQ, samples, and production time
Use the FAQ figures for planning:
- Standard MOQ: 5,000 pcs per SKU. Smaller trial orders may be available depending on the product.
- Sample production: Usually 3–7 days.
- Bulk production: 15–20 days after sample approval.
- Custom mold development: Typically adds 7–15 days before mass production.
A practical order is: confirm size and finish, approve a sample, then confirm bulk production.
