Custom logo travel tin candles put your branding directly on the lid or, for the largest size, across the whole tin, rather than on a paper label wrapped around a jar. Bath Promotions manufactures travel tin candles in Los Angeles across three sizes, a 2 oz and 4 oz metal tin plus an 8 oz paint can style, with a minimum as low as 100 units and a flat one-time setup charge that covers every reorder after. Here is what actually changes the price, the format, and the timeline, with real numbers so you can budget before you request a quote.
What is a travel tin candle, and why do buyers choose it?
A travel tin candle is poured into a metal tin instead of a glass jar, which makes it lighter to ship, harder to break in transit, and a natural fit for anything that travels: a hotel amenity, an airline or event giveaway, a subscription box, or a retail impulse buy near the register. Because the tin itself carries the decoration, either imprinted directly on the lid or labeled across the body, the branding is part of the container rather than something that can peel off a jar during shipping or storage.
The three sizes, and what each one costs
All three sizes ship with decoration included in the unit price, and all use the same proof-and-produce process. The 2 oz tin is the most compact and travel-friendly format; the 4 oz tin is the most accessible standard size at a 100-unit minimum; the 8 oz paint can is the largest format, wrapped in a full 4-color label across the lid and body for a bigger canvas.
250-unit minimum, 4-color imprint on lid, from $4.05 per unit at volume.
100-unit minimum, 4-color imprint on lid, from $6.85 per unit at volume.
100-unit minimum, full 4-color label on lid and body, from $14.15 per unit at volume.
How much do custom logo travel tin candles cost?
Pricing steps down at every volume break, with slightly different break points by size since the 2 oz starts at 250 units while the 4 oz and 8 oz start at 100. Here is the real per-unit pricing at each tier:
| Size | 100 / 250 units | 500 units | 1,000 units | 2,500 / 5,000 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 oz Tin | $4.45 ea. (250) | $4.35 ea. | $4.25 ea. | $4.05 ea. (5,000) |
| 4 oz Tin | $7.25 ea. (100) | $7.05 ea. | $6.95 ea. | $6.85 ea. (2,500) |
| 8 oz Paint Can | $15.00 ea. (100) | $14.50 ea. | $14.25 ea. | $14.15 ea. (2,500) |
Pricing includes decoration on every size. A one-time setup charge of $65 applies to a new design; reorders of the same design do not pay it again.
What does the $65 setup charge actually cover?
The $65 setup charge pays for the plates used for your 4-color imprint or label, and it applies once per design rather than once per order. It is the same flat fee across all three sizes, whether you choose the imprinted 2 oz or 4 oz tin or the fully labeled 8 oz paint can. Reorder the same design later and it goes straight to unit pricing with no setup fee added back in.
Tin colors and decoration by size
The 2 oz and 4 oz tins are available in a Silver or Black body. The 2 oz size pairs with a clear or black lid, while the 4 oz size ships with a clear lid, and both use a 4-color imprint applied directly to the lid. The 8 oz paint can takes a different approach: a full 4-color label wraps both the lid and the body, giving more surface area for a bigger logo, more text, or a fuller design than the smaller tins can carry.
How long does production take?
Custom logo travel tin candles follow the same production window as the rest of our line: standard production is 10 to 15 business days after you approve your free proof, shipped from our own facility in Carson, CA. We do not route orders through a third-party fulfillment center, which is what keeps that window consistent regardless of size.
Who orders custom logo travel tin candles from us?
Travel tin candles show up most often in hotel and hospitality amenity programs, event and conference giveaways, subscription box inserts, and retail brands that want a lower price point next to their glass jar candle line. Because tins ship lighter and hold up better in transit than glass, they are also a common pick for anything mailed directly to a customer rather than handed out in person.
