Custom Money Tin Box | Metal Piggy Bank & Coin Saving Tin
A money tin box is a metal container designed for saving coins, banknotes and small valuables. Unlike a traditional ceramic piggy bank, a tin money box is lightweight, durable and reusable — the lid can be opened without breaking the container, so savings can be counted and the tin reused. It is widely used for personal saving, kids' financial education, retail promotions and branded giveaways. As a tin box manufacturer, we offer full customization from mold selection to surface printing.
Common Sizes and Materials
Money tin boxes come in several formats. A classic coin-saving tin is often a rectangular or square box around 150×100×60mm, with a coin slot on the lid and a secure press-fit or hinged lid. Round money tins around 80–100mm in diameter work well for pocket change. Larger cash boxes can hold banknotes and documents. Most products use tinplate with thickness from 0.23mm to 0.35mm — thicker plate gives a more rigid feel and better protection. Food-grade interior coatings are available, and BPA-free options can be specified. A lockable version with a small padlock or combination latch is also available for extra security.
Printing and Surface Finishes
Surface printing supports CMYK four-color offset printing, so brand artwork, saving goals and promotional messages can be reproduced clearly on the lid and body. Finishes include glossy, matte, soft-touch and embossed relief, with options such as spot UV, metallic effect and inside printing to lift perceived value. For banks, schools and brands running saving campaigns, the tin is often the first physical touchpoint — crisp printing and a consistent finish directly affect how premium the giveaway feels.
Customization Options
We support size, shape, printing and interior customization. Existing stock molds cover many standard sizes and are free to use, which keeps tooling costs down for new brands and promotional campaigns. A coin slot can be added to the lid, and the lid can be press-fit, hinged or lockable depending on the use case. Interior inserts such as EVA foam or cardboard dividers can separate coins and notes. Artwork is provided by the customer, and mass production begins after sample confirmation.
Why Choose Metal Money Tins
Metal packaging is 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without loss of performance, supporting brand sustainability claims. Tinplate is also cost-effective compared with other premium materials, keeping material, printing and labor costs manageable. The rigid structure protects coins and notes from bending and moisture, and the material accepts high-quality printing that conveys a premium, giftable image — which is why banks, schools and brands increasingly use tin money boxes for saving campaigns, holiday gifts and promotional packaging.
