Custom slide tins are compact metal containers designed for products that need convenient access and reliable protection. A sliding lid moves through a built-in slide, creating a secure closure without a separate lid. Made from durable tinplate or recyclable aluminum, these tins are suitable for mints, solid lip balm bars, travel soap, small hardware, craft goods, and novelty items. Choose mini, small, or medium sizes with custom printing, colours, finishes, windows, inserts, and dividers. We offer wholesale slide tins with a low MOQ, physical sample fit-testing, and a 10–12 business day turnaround. Create practical packaging that keeps your products protected and easy to access.

Packaging should protect your products without making them difficult to access. Custom Slide Tins offer a practical solution with a compact shape, reusable construction, and convenient sliding opening.
A sliding tin uses a lid that moves along the top of the container instead of lifting completely away. This makes the format particularly useful for products that customers may open and close regularly. The captured lid also reduces the chance of losing a separate lid.
Our slider tins are available in durable tinplate and recyclable aluminium. You can customise their dimensions, printing, finishes, and additional features to suit your product and brand.
From mints and lip balm to travel soap and small craft supplies, slide tins provide a compact packaging format for both retail and e-commerce products.
Tin packaging is considered a sensitive packaging material as compared to aluminium, while aluminium is a strong material that has corrosion-resistant properties. Aluminium protects the contents of your packaging from heat, moisture, and dirt. Place your order for slide tins and unveil unlimited packaging perks!
The defining feature of a slide tin is its slide rail. The lid slides through a channel formed into the tin's rim. As the lid moves, the channel guides it while friction keeps it in the required position. There is no magnet, hinge, or separate latch holding the lid closed. Instead, the design relies on carefully controlled friction tolerance.
This tolerance needs to sit within a narrow range. If the lid is too loose, it may gradually work open inside a pocket or bag. This can cause loose contents such as mints to spill. If it is too tight, customers may need considerable force or two hands to open the tin.
A well-designed rail provides a smoother balance. The lid stays secure during pocket carry while remaining easy to reopen with one hand.
Another practical advantage is the captured lid. Unlike a snap tin where the lid comes completely off, a slide lid stays attached to the tin through its rail. There is therefore no separate lid to drop, misplace, or carry around.
This differs from self-seal tin cans, which use a separate press-on lid construction. The slide format is designed around movement along the rail rather than full lid removal.
Choosing the right size starts with the product rather than the tin itself. Consider the item's dimensions, quantity, required protection, and available space.

Special product requirements |
Craft custom slide tin cans with sturdy materials. Ensure your chosen materials are corrosion-resistant and don’t rust. Opt for the following materials to elevate your product packaging:
You can choose from the given options:
The manufacturing process begins with sheet metal formed into the required tin shape. This rim is engineered to create the channel that guides the sliding lid. The lid is then shaped to work with this rail and maintain the required friction tolerance.
After forming, the components are checked for dimensions, alignment, and opening performance. Printing and finishing are applied according to the selected design.
Metal tins can also support reuse. Customers can repurpose them for small storage after the original contents are finished. This extends the practical life of the packaging beyond its first use.
For brands looking for other metal packaging structures, custom tin boxes provide additional options. You can also explore custom aluminium tins for lightweight metal packaging.
