What is your Tool Boxes MOQ and wholesale price?

Standard MOQ is 1,000 pcs per design — uniform across every case in this library. Unit price runs $0.45 – $1.35 for the middle 50% of cases, with a median of $0.62 – 0.95. The insert and the closure move the price more than the artwork does.

Do you supply empty tins, or filled ones?

Empty — we are a tin box manufacturer and supplier, not a packer. Bodies and lids ship empty, so your own contents go in on your own line.

Can one order cover several shapes at once?

Yes. Wholesale programmes are quoted per mould, so a small box and a large box can sit in one purchase order with separate minimums.

Can I print my own artwork?

Yes — that is the whole point of reusing a mould. Send artwork or a sketch and we proof it on the real substrate within 48 hours, up to 8 colours in CMYK or spot.

What shapes and sizes can you make?

Everything in the register above, plus bespoke geometry. The library runs round, square, deep rectangular bodies with slip/hinged/magnetic lids; shaped bodies are cut to a new die.

What is the wholesale unit price of a Tool Boxes?

It follows the mould and the insert, not the artwork: $0.45 – $1.35 per unit for the middle 50% of cases at 1,000 pcs, before packing and freight. A magnetic lid with flocked insert sits at the top of that band.

What are your production lead times after sample approval?

An existing mould ships in 15–20 days; a new die adds 20–25 days. Sea freight to the US and Europe is quoted separately. Ahead of peak season we schedule against your date rather than a nominal lead time.

Do you support private label and OEM programmes?

Yes. As an OEM tin box manufacturer we run private label programmes end to end — tooling, print, insert, packing and export documents on one line, with your brand on the box and nothing of ours.

Can you ship to the UK, US, Australia and Canada?

Yes, FOB Ningbo / Shanghai / Shenzhen. Tell us the destination market and we match the relevant requirements — toy and packaging compliance such as small-parts warnings and EN71.

Do tools mix, spill or rust inside the box?

Not if the insert is cut to the count. Dividers lock screws, bits and washers in place even upside down; where the fill is metal, the inner wall carries a rust-resistant layer so it won't rust through in storage.

Do you make tool boxes with divided inserts?

Yes. Screws, bits and small hardware get slotted dividers cut to the count, so nothing mixes or drops even when the box is upside down. EVA or flocked lining is specified to your tool list.

Can you print inside the lid?

Yes. Body and lid are quoted as separate printing passes, so a lid-only print is the cheapest way to add a second surface — common on branded tool sets, where the inside of the lid carries a tool list or brand story.

Does a shaped or magnetic-lid box need a new mould?

Only when no close profile exists in the library. Square and deep rectangular bodies are already held; a genuinely new shape or magnetic structure adds 20–25 days of tooling and is quoted as a separate line.

Tool Boxes

Built Around the Contents

Turning Any Case Above Into Custom Tool Boxes

As a tool box manufacturer, a tool build is specified against what it holds, how many pieces and whether it seals before it is specified against artwork — mixed, spilled or loose contents is the most common reason one of these gets returned. Four things get settled before one goes back on the line.

An insert cut to the contents

Give us the tool or hardware count, and the insert is cut with slots and dividers to them rather than to a stock size. These tool box moulds are re-run for that interior, which is why small parts don't mix, get lost or roll — the difference between a tool box and an empty tin.

The right closure: slip lid, hinged or magnetic

A sealed, dust-tight box uses a slip lid; one that stands on a shelf uses a hinged lid; a limited branded set uses a magnetic lid. All three run the same mould, and the choice is made before the artwork because it changes the lid layout.

Wall gauge matched to the filled weight

A box full of metal parts is carried and stacked. The wall gauge is matched to that weight rather than to the cheapest option, so a tool box holds its shape through three pallet layers and arrives without a dent.

Rust-resistant lining for metal fill

Where the fill is screws or drivers, the inner wall carries a rust-resistant lacquer or barrier layer; the print sits under an abrasion-resistant varnish so the lid survives workshop handling.

Built for Storage and Wear

How These Tool Box Cases Hold Up

A tool box has to survive the workshop, the van and being opened repeatedly. Three things decide whether it lasts, and on every case above all three were fixed before printing started.

Divided insert cut to the toolsScrews, drill bits and drivers mixed together are useless. The insert is cut with slots and dividers to the tool count and sizes rather than to a stock size, so drivers don't scratch, bits don't get lost and small parts don't roll.
