Custom child resistant hinged tin cases are a practical choice for brands looking for a durable, retail-ready package for multi-pack pre-roll joints. The flip-top hinged structure gives the package a familiar opening experience, while the integrated child-resistant mechanism helps support packaging requirements in regulated cannabis markets.
Unlike a standard hinged tin, a child resistant hinged tin is designed around the opening mechanism as well as the product fit. The exterior size, hinge position, press area, and internal insert can all be developed around the length, diameter, and quantity of the pre-rolls inside.
YARK supports custom hinged tin cases in 3-pack, 5-pack, 7-pack, 10-pack and other configurations, with custom printing, embossing, foil stamping, finishes, and paperboard or PVC inserts available for different product lines.
The hinged tin structure can be customized around the product rather than forcing every SKU into one standard size. This is especially useful when different pre-roll lengths or pack counts need to maintain the same brand appearance.
Hinged tins are particularly useful when a brand wants the package to feel like a finished retail product rather than simply an outer container. The attached lid also makes the package convenient for repeated opening and closing.
The lid remains attached to the tin, making the package convenient for daily handling and repeated opening.
The rigid metal structure provides stronger physical protection than many flexible packaging formats.
Internal trays can be designed around 3, 5, 7, 10 or other pre-roll quantities without changing the overall brand direction.
Pre-rolls can be aligned inside individual channels so the contents look organized when the tin is opened.
The CR mechanism is one of the most important parts of a hinged tin. The exact structure can be developed according to the tin dimensions, opening area, and desired user experience. Common directions include front-press and side-press mechanisms.
For projects requiring a specific compliance standard, the CR mechanism and testing requirements should be confirmed before production. YARK can review the intended market and packaging structure during the project development stage.
A two-side press version uses a squeeze-and-open mechanism on both sides of the lid. Users press both sides to release the closure before lifting the hinged lid. This structure gives the tin a different exterior appearance while maintaining the familiar flip-top format.
Both sides are pressed to release the lid.
No separate lid to remove or replace.
Suitable for 3, 5, 7, 10 or other pack configurations.
Paperboard and PVC tray options can be developed around the pre-rolls.
The internal insert is developed around the actual pre-roll dimensions and quantity. This allows different SKUs to share a similar exterior design while using different internal layouts where necessary.
Compact option for smaller product bundles, promotional packs or trial-size formats.
A practical multi-pack format with a good balance between capacity and portability.
A larger retail format for brands that want more units in one package.
Higher-capacity option for value packs and larger multi-SKU product lines.
A good hinged tin is not only about the metal shell. The internal insert determines how the pre-rolls sit inside the package, how much movement is allowed, and how the product looks when the lid is opened.
Useful when individual pre-roll positions need a clean and structured layout.
Internal channels can be arranged around the product diameter and pack count.
If your pre-rolls have different lengths or diameters, provide the product dimensions before we develop the insert. The internal layout should be designed around the actual product rather than using unnecessary empty space.
The exterior of the hinged tin can be developed to match your brand identity while keeping the structure practical for production. Common customization options include:
Dimensions developed around your pre-roll size and pack count.
Custom artwork and brand colors.
Embossing or debossing for a tactile brand effect.
Gold, silver, holographic and other foil options.
Matte, gloss and other surface treatments.
Paperboard or PVC insert based on the product layout.
Before production, the tin dimensions, hinge position, CR opening area and internal insert should be checked together. This helps avoid a situation where the exterior looks correct but the pre-rolls do not fit properly inside.
Engineering drawings can be reviewed before mass production to confirm the overall size, hinge position, opening mechanism and internal tray layout.
Our recommended quantity is 5,000 pcs for better unit cost and shipping efficiency. Projects starting at 3,000 pcs can also be discussed.
Existing or similar-size samples can be used to evaluate fit, capacity, opening feel and insert layout before production.
Once the structure and artwork are confirmed, 3D renderings can be prepared to preview the final appearance.
Most custom hinged tin projects take around 30 days after artwork and structure are confirmed. Special finishes or multiple SKUs may require additional time.
A hinged tin is one option within a broader child resistant packaging program. If you are still comparing structures, these pages can help you choose the right direction:

Our recommended MOQ is 5,000 pcs because the quantity usually provides a better balance between unit cost and shipping efficiency. We can also discuss projects starting at 3,000 pcs, although the unit cost may be higher.
Yes. Common configurations include 3-pack, 5-pack, 7-pack and 10-pack formats. Other quantities can also be developed depending on the pre-roll dimensions and desired internal layout.
Yes. Paperboard inserts and PVC trays can be developed around the actual pre-roll length, diameter and quantity. The purpose is to keep the products organized and reduce unnecessary movement inside the tin.
Yes. Custom printing can include CMYK or Pantone colors, while finishing options include matte, gloss, foil stamping, embossing and debossing. The available combination depends on the final tin structure and production requirements.
Yes. Multiple SKUs can be considered when the tin structure and size remain the same. Different artworks can be produced for different strains, flavors or product variants.
Existing samples in the same or similar size can normally be provided for checking fit, capacity, insert layout and opening feel. Fully customized printed tin samples require additional tooling and setup, so we normally use 3D renderings to preview the final artwork before mass production.
Most custom hinged tin projects take around 30 days after the artwork and structure are confirmed. Projects involving special finishes or multiple SKUs may require additional production time.
