metal gift box

Closures include hinged lids with latches (some designed to accept a padlock), slide-top or slide-switch lids on mini tins, fitted lift-off lids on decorative boxes, and latch closures with visible hardware such as brass latches and handles.

Protective features include anti-oxidation/anti-rust tinplate, smooth rounded edges with no burrs, effective seals to keep out dust and moisture, and interior linings (for example, black velvet) to prevent scratches.

Generally spot clean or wipe with a damp cloth. For keepsake boxes that note care instructions, avoid abrasive cleaners and use gentle wiping to protect finishes and linings.

Small metal tin containers are often sold in multi-packs; examples shown include 8-piece and 20-piece packs of slide-top tins.

Some decorative boxes include protective linings such as black velvet to prevent scratches, while others feature patterned or fabric-lined interiors (for example, a floral-patterned lining in certain keepsake boxes).
