Stainless Steel Storage Containers, Lunch Boxes & Tiffins

Storage containers, canisters, masala boxes, lunch boxes and tiffins sell on lid fit and sealing as much as on the steel. Gasket material, clip design and tolerances need to be specified, not assumed.

We source plastic-free and mixed-material storage ranges, check lid fit and leak performance on samples and production, and coordinate retail packaging.

What we inspect before shipment

Lid fit and closureLeak test on sealed designsGasket material and seatingThickness and weightWelds on handles and clipsPacking and set completeness

Inspection follows our five checkpoints — factory audit, pre-production, during production, pre-shipment and loading — against the sealed golden sample. See quality control in India.

Minimums, sampling & private label

Existing sizes allow moderate minimums. Custom lids, gaskets in special colours and printed packaging add setup.

Every programme can be produced under your own brand, with your labels and packaging. Read about private label manufacturing in India.

Buying for the USA, UK and Europe

Market-specific sizing, labelling and testing notes for this category are covered in the stainless steel houseware buyer guide.

Buyer questions

Which grade should I specify?

SS 304 (18/8) suits most food-contact products. SS 430 (18/0) is cheaper and magnetic. SS 201/202 lowers cost but resists corrosion less well. We name the grade in the specification and check it on production.

Are your lunch boxes leak-proof?

Only designs that pass an agreed leak test should be sold as leak-resistant. We test samples and production pieces before shipment and advise on claim wording.

Can gaskets be food-safe silicone?

Yes. We specify food-contact silicone and keep its documentation for your market's food-contact file.
