Printing Options for Customization
There are several printing techniques to customize square window tins:
Offset Printing
Offset printing is the most common and cost-effective method for tin customization. Using metal printing plates, it applies ink and designs directly onto tins.
Benefits:
- Affordable for large volume orders
- Permanent printing withstands scuffing

Digital Printing
Digital printing uses variable inkjet technology to print onto tins. It applies UV-curable inks that dry instantly.
Benefits:
- Ideal for lower volume orders and customization
- Ability to print different designs in a single print run
- Vibrant full color printing
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping presses an engraved die onto metallic foil to transfer designs onto tins.
Benefits:
- Striking reflective results
- Metallic sheen perfect for logos
- Permanent customization
Embossing
Embossing presses a die into the tin to create a raised relief design.
Benefits:
- Subtle tactile customization
- No inks or foils needed
- Draws interest with dimensional results
Square vs Round Window Tin Branding
The shape of window tins affects branding potential:
- Square tins have large flat surfaces ideal for prominent logo and design placement.
- Round tins only allow small branding on the lid due to curved surface.
Square window tins lend themselves better to bold design elements like patterns, mascots, logos, and text. Their flat faces maximize branding real estate.
Design Recommendations
Some tips for eye-catching square window tin designs:
- Place logo on center panel for high visibility
- Use patterns or colors to reflect brand identity
