What is the general cost of custom empty tin boxes?

2024-09-29 14:04:12

The cost of custom tin boxes is affected by many factors, and the price difference is large. Generally, the cost of a single tin box may range from a few yuan to tens of yuan, or even higher. The following are the main factors affecting the cost of custom tin boxes:

Cost of raw materials for custom tin boxes

The raw materials of custom tin boxes are mainly iron or tin and other materials. The raw material of tinplate boxes is tin-plated iron, that is, tinplate, and its market price fluctuations will affect the cost of tin boxes. Tin boxes of different specifications and processes have different requirements for the thickness of iron materials. Generally, the thickness of iron sheets is usually between 0.23mm and 0.38mm. The thickness of iron materials has a certain relationship with the size of the tin box. For example, the thickness of the stretched tin box is higher than that of the general tin box, because the stretching process will soften the iron material, and the iron is too thin and may burst and cause the tin box to be scrapped. Tin boxes come in a variety of styles, such as round, special-shaped, square, etc. Different shapes of tin boxes require different amounts of tinplate raw materials, which leads to differences in purchasing price costs. The cost of raw materials accounts for a certain proportion of the total cost of custom tin boxes, and its specific cost will vary depending on factors such as market conditions, tin box specifications and shapes.

Customized tin box process costs

The process costs of customized tin boxes include multiple aspects. A tin box production process must go through processes such as purchasing iron, printing, cutting, edge removal, curling, bone punching, hole expansion, bottom buckle, and gong bottom. Different process requirements require different production methods, and it is necessary to consider how many workers are needed to operate the tin box production process, which will also increase the costs of management, procurement and typesetting, water and electricity, equipment cleaning agents, and petroleum. For some high-end tin boxes, the more production processes there are, the longer the production cycle, which directly affects the increase in labor costs. In addition, the production of tin box packaging requires multiple processes, and the production process requires simple and uncomplicated production, so the price is relatively cheap. For example, when other factors are the same, a round tin box is generally easier to make than a square tin box, so a round tin box is generally cheaper than a square tin box.

Customized tin box design mold cost

The mold cost of a customized tin box depends on the size, shape, and complexity of the structure of the tin box. The larger the size and the more complex the structure, the higher the cost, and vice versa. Common rectangular, square, and round tin box molds are generally completed by more than 10 processes, and the processes such as upper mold, printing iron material, and iron material cutting are complicated and costly, which raises the price of the mold. The process of heterosexual tin boxes is more complicated, so the cost will be relatively higher. A delicate mold requires good mold materials and mold masters to carefully carve it. If the quality is not good, the mold is easy to crack during the production process of the tin box, delaying the delivery of the tin box. Usually a mold fee ranges from 10,000 to tens of thousands of yuan. The mold fee can be refunded for orders of 100,000 or more, and a free proofing is provided for the new mold.

Customized tin box printing cost

The printing cost of customized tin boxes is affected by many factors. First, let's consider the situation where the order quantity reaches the special edition quantity. If the special edition quantity of a large-sized tin box is 6,000, there are 1,500 iron sheets, and four tin boxes can be arranged on each iron sheet. If the printing factory's minimum sales are 6,000 yuan, then the printing cost of each tin box is 1 yuan/piece. If the special edition quantity is not enough, the printing will be done by imposition printing. If the order quantity is 500, then the 6,000 yuan of low sales will also be shared by the cost of other tin boxes. In this way, the printing cost of 500 tin boxes will be between 1 yuan and 12 yuan. If the special edition quantity is not enough, the special edition is made: if the order quantity is 500, and the printing factory prints on 1,500 iron sheets at a time, it means that only one set of tin boxes will be arranged on each iron sheet, and 5,500 tin boxes will be printed and wasted. The printing fee and iron material cost are wasted. If the printing factory sells at a low price of 6,000, then 6,000 divided by 500 is the printing cost of the box, which is 12 yuan.

Customized tin box surface treatment cost

The surface treatment cost of customized tin boxes will vary depending on the treatment method. Common surface treatments include spraying, leather grain spraying, electrophoretic paint, etc. The price of bright surface spraying is 0.5-0.55 yuan/square decimeter, and the thickness of the spraying layer is required to be 0.06-0.18mm. After the neutral salt spray test, the test cycle is 96h, and the evaluation level after the test is 6. According to the size of the surface area of ​​the part, the unit price of the part can be reduced accordingly, and the unit price of the large flat part can be 0.45-0.5 yuan/square decimeter. After the surface spraying, the threaded holes on the part need to be back-drilled. The price of surface leather spraying is 0.55-0.6 yuan/square decimeter, and the thickness requirements and test standards of the spraying layer are the same as those of surface bright spraying. The price of surface electrophoretic paint is 0.32 yuan/square decimeter, the surface coating thickness of the parts is 18-25цm, and the parts are subjected to neutral salt spray test with a test cycle of 96h. After the test, its evaluation level is 10. Electrophoretic paint coating has better anti-rust ability than most electroplating layers because its covering and dispersion capabilities are far superior to most electroplating processes.

The cost of custom tin boxes is affected by many factors, including raw material costs, process costs, design mold costs, printing costs, and surface treatment costs. Different specifications, processes, quantities, etc. will lead to differences in costs. To determine the specific cost of custom tin boxes, it is necessary to consider these factors comprehensively and communicate and inquire with the manufacturer in detail. At the same time, customers can choose the appropriate customization plan according to their needs and budget to achieve the best cost performance.

In summary; the cost of custom tin boxes is a complex comprehensive consideration system, involving multiple links such as raw materials, processes, design, printing, surface treatment, etc. Various factors in each link are intertwined and jointly determine the final cost. When customizing tin boxes, customers need to fully understand these factors and fully communicate and negotiate with suppliers. By reasonably selecting materials, optimizing designs, controlling production quantities, etc., costs can be reduced to a certain extent while meeting the needs of brand image building and product packaging. For enterprises, accurately grasping the cost of custom tin boxes can not only effectively control the budget, but also enhance the market competitiveness of products, and lay a solid foundation for the successful promotion and sales of products. Whether it is the pursuit of high-quality brand packaging or the focus on cost-effective business operations, in-depth understanding of the cost of custom tin boxes is a crucial step. I hope that the above content can provide you with a comprehensive and clear reference in the decision-making process of custom tin boxes, and help you create a tin box packaging that is both in line with brand characteristics and economical.
