About TinPax

With over 20+ years experience in the metal packaging industry, the team at TinPax Corporation is far from being a new enterprise. We were formed with the purpose of providing the best possible tin packaging with unmatched service throughout the order process. Combining unique packaging ideas with high-end manufacturing, we can be an effective resource to see those beginning ideas through to the end package. We ultimately give our clients their exact package at a very competitive price with reliable and accurate delivery schedules. 100% transparency is what makes us different from our competitors as we are not a broker, but fully aligned with a single factory in Shenzhen, China.

We are driven by the desire to come up with new, innovative packaging to distinguish our client's products in the marketplace in a variety of industries. We are confident we can pool together our ideas to create the exact package to meet and exceed your sales, budget, and timing goals.
