10ml aluminium tins are a popular choice for compact and travel cosmetics including creams and lip balms.
Premium Design
Modern and minimal, with stunning aesthetics that make every product stand out on the shelf.
Perfect For Lip Balm
The EPE liner, a key component added to our aluminium screw lid tins, acts as a barrier to protect your product.
Versatile Unbranded Tins
Simply add your own stick-on labels to transform these blank aluminium tins into beautiful, own-brand packaging.
Tinplate Tins
These two premium tinplate tins are coated in a food-safe lacquer, protecting them from stains and blemishes, and provide a modern aesthetic.
The round lip balm tin comes in a single 15ml size, rather than 10ml, but the rectangular sliding-lid tin comes in three sizes: 10ml, 20ml, and 40ml.
Why Use 10ml Tins
Both aluminium and tinplate small tins (5ml to 20ml) provide lightweight and protective packaging for your products. Whilst commonly used for cosmetics and skincare products, these tins are also great for waxes, creams, herbs and spices and other food stuffs.
Our ready-to-ship tins have no Tinware Direct branding or other markings on. This allows you to apply your own labels to ally the packaging to your brand and your brand alone. We are happy to advise on label sizes if needed, and even offer a label printing service if that is easier for you.
10ml is a common size for many products. You will often see many flavours of lip balm available in gift shops or pharmacies in 10ml or 15ml tins. These allow for a decent amount of product in a size that is great for a pocket or a handbag.
The EPE liner on the aluminium screw lid tins, helps to protect and seal the join between lid and tin making it more air-tight than the slip lid or sliding lid of the tinplate tins shown here. However, they are all coated in a food-safe lacquer and are all suitable for many cosmetic and food products.
Samples are available, and we recommend thoroughly testing your product in your chosen tin(s) before buying in bulk. Shipping to you is free for sample orders.
Samples and Freebies
Small tins, 5ml and 10ml allow cosmetics, skincare, and food brands to provide samples sizes without reformulating. They are popular as hotel freebies to spread a brand amongst hotel guests.
Travel Size
10ml aluminium tins are often a perfect size for travel versions of your products.
Manageable % Packaging Cost
Where product per-ml pricing is high, 10ml packaging as a percentage of product value usually remains comfortably low. The products on this page start at only 21p per 5ml tin and 24p for a 10ml tin.
Low Shipping Costs
Small volumes of product in lightweight but sturdy tins keeps your to-customer postage costs down. Their small size also means that they are letterbox friendly.
