Custom OEM Metal Tin Candles Factory & Suppliers

Standard catalog metal tins with private label screen printing or custom labels start at 600 to 1,000 units per design. Fully custom tooling for non-standard tin shapes, proprietary embossing dies, or custom Pantone lacquer spraying generally carries an MOQ of 1,200 to 2,500 units depending on vessel size and packaging complexity.

Essential oils containing organic acids or citrus compounds can react with raw metal over time. We eliminate oxidation risk by applying a double-pass food-grade epoxy-phenolic inner lining to all tinplate blanks prior to forming. This barrier prevents direct chemical contact between acidic fragrance terpenes and the electrolytic iron core.

Yes. All wax blends (100% soy wax, coconut-soy, or hydrogenated vegetable wax), wicks (lead-free unbleached cotton or natural wood wicks), and fragrance compounds supplied by Shanghai Qusden comply fully with REACH, RoHS, IFRA guidelines, and California Proposition 65 requirements. Full Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and CLP warning text templates are provided with each production run.

Because metal walls conduct heat faster than thick glass, wicks must be calibrated precisely to prevent the tin from overheating during extended 4-hour burn cycles. We utilize specialized flat-braided cotton wicks with paper filament threads (such as HTP or Premier series) or rigid FSC-certified wooden wicks designed for controlled melt pool depths, maintaining tin exterior temperatures under safety thresholds compliant with ASTM F2417 fire safety standards.

We accept vector artwork files in AI, PDF, or EPS formats (min 300 DPI). Our in-house decorative processes include CMYK offset metal printing, high-precision UV screen printing, 3D embossing/debossing on tin lids, soft-touch matte lacquers, metallic foil stamping, laser etching, and custom outer rigid box packaging production.

Digital or physical pre-production candle samples with standard tin blanks require 5 to 7 business days. Custom metal tin tooling and color-matched print samples require 12 to 15 days. Mass production lead time typically ranges between 25 and 35 days post-sample approval, backed by FOB, CIF, or EXW export terms settled in USD.
