Rectangular Tinplate Storage Box: 175x60x18mm Dimensions for Pens and Accessories

This rectangular tinplate box offers a practical and secure storage option for everyday stationery items like pens and pencils, as well as small cosmetic accessories. Its defined, square shape and robust metal build provide organised containment, helping to keep desks, drawers, or kits tidy. Manufactured from frosted iron, the box has a clean, matte aesthetic that works in various environments, from home offices to retail displays. The application of graphics via the offset printing process further enhances its utility for customised gifting, promotional purposes, or personal organisation.

Features and Construction

The box’s design centres on precise manufacturing and functional material choice. Its construction directly supports its primary role as a protective and organisable container for slender items.

Material and Build

The box is formed from 0.21mm frosted iron tinplate. This specific gauge of sheet metal provides the necessary rigidity to maintain its rectangular shape without being overly heavy. The frosted, or matte, finish on the iron reduces light reflection and gives the surface a subtle texture. This material choice results in a durable container that resists denting from typical handling and protects the contents inside.

Size and Practical Fit

With external dimensions of 175mm in length, 60mm in width, and 18mm in height, the box is tailored to hold longer, narrow items. The 175mm length accommodates standard pens and pencils, while the 60mm width allows for several items to be stored side-by-side. The 18mm height makes it a low-profile unit suitable for slipping into bags, placing on shelves, or arranging in drawers without taking up excessive vertical space.

Uses and Placement

Its specific size and sturdy build make this tinplate box suitable for multiple contexts, from personal use to more formal applications. The offset printing capability adds a layer of versatility for different settings.

Event or Professional Use

For professional or promotional settings, the box can serve as branded packaging. The offset printing process allows company logos, event details, or specific designs to be applied clearly and durably to the metal surface. This makes it functional for corporate gifting, as product packaging for high-end pens, or as a take-home item from conferences and seminars that holds utility beyond the event itself.

Everyday Home Use

In a home or personal office, it acts as a tidy organiser for a desk or vanity. Its capacity makes it ideal for corralling a collection of favourite writing instruments, makeup brushes, eyeliner pencils, or other similarly sized tools. The solid construction prevents items from being crushed, and the lid keeps dust away. Its neutral, frosted finish allows it to blend with different décors without appearing as conspicuous plastic storage.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this product lies in its material durability, specific sizing, and potential for reuse across different needs, supported by its straightforward construction.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The metal construction lends itself to long-term reuse. Unlike cardboard or flimsier materials, it can be emptied and refilled multiple times without degrading. Maintenance is minimal; its metal exterior can be wiped clean if it gets dusty or marked. The material does not absorb stains, and its finish helps to hide minor scuffs and fingerprints, supporting a consistently presentable appearance over time.

Why Choose This Product

This tinplate box stands out for its exact dimensional specification and confirmed material thickness, which directly translates to predictable storage capacity and a known level of sturdiness. The availability of offset printing offers a tangible advantage for those seeking customisable storage or packaging. It provides a defined, purpose-built solution for storing and organising 175mm-long items, removing the guesswork involved with using improvised containers.
