The Ultimate Guide to Custom Matcha Tins: Trends, Materials, and Customization

Matcha Market Trends: 5-10 Year Forecast

The global matcha market is poised for remarkable growth, projected to surge from USD 3,373.6 million in 2025 to USD 6,717.5 million by 2035 with a robust CAGR of 7.1%. This expansion is driven by rising consumer demand for antioxidant-rich, wellness-focused products that blend traditional heritage with modern superfood appeal.

The culinary-grade segment, accounting for 56.2% of the 2025 market, will remain dominant due to its versatility in beverages, bakery, and confectionery, while ceremonial-grade matcha sees high value growth in premium channels.

For brands, this growth brings urgency to protect product quality—making Matcha Tin Packaging- a strategic investment. As North American and European demand outpaces traditional Asian markets, premium, protective packaging like Matcha Storage Tins will become essential to preserve flavor and meet consumer expectations for sustainability and luxury.

Common Matcha Packaging Materials

Matcha’s sensitivity to light, air, and moisture demands specialized packaging. Key materials in the market include:

Flexible Pouches: Zip-lock or stand-up pouches with barrier layers, popular for cost-effectiveness.
Glass Jars: Airtight and inert but light-permeable, requiring dark tinting and careful storage.
Plastic Containers: Lightweight and affordable, but limited in light and oxygen protection.
Cardboard Boxes: Used for outer packaging, often lined with barrier materials but not primary storage.
Metal Tins: Opaque, airtight containers available as Matcha Powder Tins and Matcha Tea Tins.
Vacuum-Sealed Bags: Extend shelf life by removing air, but lack reusability.

Material Comparison: Why Matcha Tins Stand Out

Matcha Tin Containers outperform alternatives by blocking 100% of UV light (critical for preserving color and flavor ) and maintaining long-term airtightness. Unlike single-use pouches, they support sustainability goals through reusability, aligning with consumer preferences for eco-friendly packaging.

Why Choose Matcha Tins?

Selecting Matcha Tins is a decision rooted in quality preservation and brand value:

 

Flavor Preservation: Opaque metal prevents oxidation, extending matcha’s shelf life by 6-12 months compared to plastic or clear glass.

Sustainability: Recyclable and reusable, reducing single-use plastic waste—a key buying factor for 73% of wellness-focused consumers.

Brand Enhancement: The premium tactile feel of Custom Matcha Tins elevates perceived value, critical for ceremonial-grade lines.

Versatility: Available in 30g-100g sizes for retail, gifts, and wholesale, fitting diverse market needs.

Protection: Resistant to impact during shipping, reducing product damage compared to glass.

 

Welded vs. Crimped-Seal Matcha Tins

 

Two primary sealing technologies define Matcha Tin Container performance:

 

	Welded Matcha Tin Can
	100% Airtight, leak-proof Limited shape customization and standard mold size dia60mm, 73mm, 85mm, 90mm, 99mm, 105mm; The height of the body is adjustable Hidden thread lid Visible welding line appearance
	Welded Matcha tins: As the steel substrate dissolves at the welding spot along the can body side seam, resulting in surface oxidation and degradation in corrosion resistance, repair coating is required on both the internal and external surfaces to prevent corrosion. Welded side seam is repaired with OSS (outside side seam striping) coating on the outside to prevent rust, and with ISS (inside side seam striping) coating on the inside to protect the contents. The welded tin can comes in various sizes and mainly in cylinder shapes that are widely used for beverages, canned food(powder, supplement, dog treats, tea, coffee), and aerosol products.   Advantages: Hermetic seal eliminates air leakage; ideal for long-term storage of ceremonial matcha; tamper-evident design builds trust.   Disadvantages: Visible welding line appearance; Limited shape customization and standard international mold size.

 

 

 

 

	Crimped Matcha Tin Can (Lock Seam)
	Airtight High customization(Printing, Size, Shapes, Embossing, Finish) Versatile lid types Appealing appearance
	Crimped Matcha tins: Printing fully covered and no limitations for shape, structure, and size. While decorative tins are suitable for dried food packaging not workable for liquid or aerosol products.   Advantages: Fully covered and no limitations for shape, structure, and size; compatible with consumer and foodservice applications.   Disadvantages: The sealing performance is not as good as that of a welded matcha tin container.

 

Recommendation: Use welded tins for premium ceremonial matcha and crimp-seal Matcha

Storage Tins for culinary-grade products or repeat-purchase retail lines.
