About Your Metal Storage Tins With Lids
Give these household staples a makeover and print your custom design on metal tins. It's A5 in size - 22 x 16 x 9 cm - a handy size for storing small bits and pieces that can easily get lost. We digitally print directly onto the metal, leaving a silvery metallic finish that adds authenticity. If you’re a designer or business owner, you can even create metal tins at wholesale prices.
Custom tins are recyclable and a great way for labelling various collections, and the hinged lid is a convenient feature that gives you easy access even with your hands full. Distinctive and unique, your custom rustproof metal tin box has a variety of uses, all while adding a special decorative touch.

How your Metal Tins are Printed
We use dye sublimation printing that fuses the inks directly to the surface of the custom metal tin box. There's no paper that peels away, so your design is long-lasting. We don't print any white, so your image will have an authentic silvery metallic finish due to the surface underneath. Manufactured with a hinged lid, your metal storage tins with lids are a no-hassle option when it comes to protecting your bits and pieces. At Contrado, we also make sure to print all our products on demand. This means we custom-make your metal tins for wholesale or small runs only when an order is placed.
Design Tips
As mentioned above, no white is printing during the process, so all designs will naturally have a distinguished silvery base tone, with a metallic finish. Printing directly onto the surface ensures your print is long lasting. There's so many uses for custom tins, and so many creative design ideas. Decorate your tin with a colourful mosaic pattern that is sure to stand out in any desk unit, or for practical purposes you can print designs that resemble labels.
How does this product enhance my...
Home
Get your crafty corner in order and design metal tins to store your materials, equipment and embellishments. They are an ideal size for keeping in drawers, shelves or cupboards, and your custom print will help you identify which tin contains what. They're also useful for organising your medication, plasters and band aid, so in an emergency there's no delays.
Business
Design metal storage tins for sewing classes and painting workshops. The easy clean silver metal makes them a perfect place to hold paint brushes and other embellishments. Print your logo or your own name to differentiate it from other boxes that members might use. Wholesale metal tins can also be used for offices as a fun way to keep stationery in order.
Design Brand
Offer customers bespoke custom tins printed with your design brand's unique artistic style. You can advertise them as paintbrush tins, craft tins, sewing kit boxes or a place for extra storage in the kitchen. The authentic silvery finish is a nice selling point, and who doesn't need metal tins for an array of uses?
Print guidelines & finishing
Print Guideline
![DPI-Print Guideline Icon]()
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
![Jpeg-Tiff Print Guideline Icon]()
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
![RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon]()
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
![GSM ICON]()
What does GSM mean?
Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
![Fill Bleed Areas ICON]()
What are the bleed areas?
When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.
![Transfer-Print Guideline Icon]()
Do you print on garments a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better, finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
![Pattern Alignment Across Seams ICON]()
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?
We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which Is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
![print label option icon]()
Can I print my own Labels?
Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding! If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
![Eco friendly Printing]()
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
FAQ
Is the lid removable?
The tin is built with a hinged lid to ensure the contents of your storage tins are secure, and fresh if you're using it as a biscuit tin.
Is my design printed directly on the metal?
We print directly onto the metal without applying a white base, creating a rustic, 'etched' or engraved effect that looks super authentic.
What size is my metal tin?
It's A5 in size, which is a cute and compact size but still with significant storage capabilities for biscuits, sewing and crafty supplies.
