The inner wall is 304 stainless throughout — the grade matters because lower grades pick up odours and pass them to whatever goes in next.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: single-wall, heat retention, value for money, students, outdoor use, advantage.
The detail behind that claim: The 304 liner throughout — the grade decides whether it holds odours, and lower grades do. Seals properly. The footprint fits a normal bag without displacing everything else. Every internal surface is reachable, which decides whether it gets used daily or abandoned. The interior wipes clean without scrubbing, which matters more on a food container than on a drinks bottle. The steel grade resists corrosion from salt, acid and long contact with hot food. The weight stays low enough that it gets carried daily rather than left at home.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: no rusting, no burrs, lid, avoids sharp edges, portability.
The reorder logic, in the buyers’ own framing: complaints are rare enough that the buyer stops budgeting for replacements; the entry quantity is low enough to trial without a warehouse full of stock; the landed cost still works at their shelf price; it is small enough that end users actually carry it rather than leaving it at home. We track this deliberately, because what makes a buyer come back is rarely the thing that made them enquire in the first place.
Also cited on repeat orders: portability, advantage, no burrs, 304 stainless, stainless steel.
Buyers rarely arrive knowing which model they want — they arrive knowing the brief. This table is the fastest way to check whether TM-1017 is the right answer or whether a sibling fits better. The row highlighted is the one you are looking at. Every model listed runs from 500 pieces per design.

Every model above ships from 500 pieces per design. Mixing several of them in one container is normal — a 20ft container holds roughly 26 m³ of cartons, so a mixed load is planned on carton volume rather than on piece count. Send the full list at enquiry rather than model by model.
A stationery shop in São Paulo, Brazil takes this one for students. The orders themselves are for school procurement; and they picked this model because it is small enough to hand out and carry and because it sells through at their end. Worth noting how they buy: they reorder in small frequent batches rather than one large drop; and ordering in volume.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: portability, students, giveaways, consistent high volume, restock cadence, consistent at the end-user level.
The use cases behind the orders: camping and days out; promotional giveaways; staff welfare and corporate packs; canteen service; picnics; gifting; camping and picnics. The spread matters commercially: a model that only suits one of these is a harder listing to justify.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: students, outdoor use, camping, promotional, giveaways, gifting.
A job worth mentioning: A buyer in Kenya across mixed colours with their own logo printed timed to the start of a school year. We ran the line on overtime and moved their batch up the queue, we split the run across batches so the first pallets could ship while the rest finished. We would rather show a job that stretched us than a routine one, because the routine ones tell you nothing about what happens when something goes wrong.
Also in play on that job: mixed loading, part container, custom decoration, back-to-school.
This model packs 12 per carton (73cm×58cm×44cm for the base size — the full carton table is in the spec above), and that number decides how many pieces fit a 20ft container far more than the FOB price does. What decides your landed cost here is the carton, not the unit price: ask for the container plan before you fix a retail price, because a wide-body jar fills a 20ft on volume long before it hits the weight limit. We quote EXW Yongkang, FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, or DDP door to door, and we will say which of the three costs you least given where you are rather than defaulting to whichever is easiest for us.
Stock colours are not fixed on TM-1017 — tell us the shade at enquiry and we will confirm what is on the shelf before you commit to a Pantone run at 1,000 pieces. Budget it as three lines, not one: decoration sits inside the unit price, a matched Pantone is its own spray run from 1,000 pieces, and packaging is separate with its own tooling and proofing round. Brands that budget these as a single number are the ones surprised at quotation: decoration sits in the unit price, a matched Pantone is a separate spray run from 1,000 pieces, and a printed colour box carries its own tooling and one proofing round. We sign an NDA before you share artwork, and a shape you tool for stays reserved to you — the same terms we have run with Hallmark since 2017 and with KRAUS for over ten years.
TM-1017 packs 12 per carton, so a 12-store drop lands on a clean carton multiple rather than a split case. Retail-ready means more than a colour box: UPC or EAN printed and scan-tested before the carton is sealed, carton marking to your own packaging manual, and inner counts that match what your DC expects. A barcode that fails at the till becomes a chargeback, and it is entirely preventable at our end: we print and scan-test every UPC or EAN before the carton is sealed. Ask for the retail packaging spec sheet with your first quote — it lists carton dimensions, inner counts and the UPC placement we scan-test before sealing.
TM-1017 runs 2 capacities on one design, so a mixed-size order still moves as a single production run rather than 2 queued ones. Work backwards from the in-hands date, not forwards from the order date: 7–10 days for a pre-production sample, about 30 days production after approval, then 30–35 days sea freight to Europe or 25–30 to the US west coast. Production is 30 days after deposit and artwork approval, plus 7–10 days for a printed pre-production sample, plus sea freight — roughly 30–35 days to Europe, 25–30 to the US west coast. Late artwork is normal in this business; a date discovered late is not survivable — artwork approval is what starts the 30-day production clock, not the deposit. Tell us the date at enquiry and we will say honestly whether it is achievable.
On TM-1017 laser engraving is the safe call for daily institutional washing. FNSKU labels, Prop 65 and suffocation warnings applied here, cartons built to FBA dimension limits, and we can split a shipment across fulfilment centres if you send the plan. Doing it at the factory removes a prep-centre handling fee and about a week of transit on every restock. Watch dimensional weight on this category — the carton is light for its size, so FBA usually bills on volume.
The complaints below come from buyers who arrived here after a bad run elsewhere. Ask any supplier about them directly — the way they answer tells you more than the answer.
An unfinished rim catches on the lip and chips in transit. Every rim in this range is machine-polished — it matters more on glass than on steel.
Lower grades rust and hold odours, and food picks that up immediately. Ours is 304 throughout, stated on the invoice.
— Workable from 500 pieces per design. At 12 pcs per 300ml: 73cm×58cm×44cm; 500ml: 73cm×58cm×45cm carton, a 20ft container takes roughly 1,600 pieces of this model alone — worked from the biggest of this model’s carton sizes, and confirmed on the pro forma once the load plan is fixed. Tell us the full model list at enquiry rather than one at a time — the quote changes when several models share a colour run or a carton size.
— Yes. Three separate lines to budget: the logo sits in the unit price, a matched Pantone is its own run at 1,000 pieces, and packaging is third — this model ships in a printed colour box as standard, and anything else is a separate tooling and proofing round.
— One of the stronger uses for this model. Give us the in-hands date at enquiry rather than after artwork approval — we work backwards from it and tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
— Suited to schools and campus retail, canteens and site catering. For institutional buying, specify laser engraving rather than print — a printed logo on a coated body typically fades within one season of daily commercial dishwashing, while an engraved mark is cut into the 304 steel and does not.
Not the right pick if… — you need food to stay hot for hours. This model is not vacuum insulated — it is a container, not a flask. Look at our vacuum range instead and we will point you at the closest equivalent.
Eight workshops in Yongkang, Zhejiang, running since 1998 — mould development, vacuum welding, injection moulding, spray painting, laser marking, printing, assembly, inspection and packing, all in one building. For TM-1017 the stage worth watching is compartment moulding and lid tooling.
Lunch boxes live or die on the lid. The body is straightforward — 304 liner, or food-grade PP on the vented models — but the lid carries the gasket, the latch and, on tiered models, the weight of everything above it. Injection moulding and gasket fitting run in the same building as assembly, so a lid problem is caught on the line rather than in a container. On the three vacuum models the liner is drawn and vacuum-tested as a semi-finished part, same as our flasks. On the compartment models the check is different: fill, close, invert, and watch the seams between compartments — a box that leaks soup into the rice reads as a defect even though nothing left the box.
We inspect 8% of every batch rather than a fixed sample per shipment. Buyers are welcome on site — eight workshops in Yongkang, Zhejiang, running since 1998, about three hours by road from Ningbo port and two from Hangzhou airport, which makes a factory visit a realistic side trip rather than a separate journey. Ask to see that bench specifically; it is where the difference shows — we check vacuum integrity on 100% of bodies at the semi-finished stage, before assembly and coating, because a micro-leak is undetectable once the jar is built.
Importers & wholesalers — Workable from 500 pieces per design. At 12 pcs per 300ml:73cm×58cm×44cm 500ml:73cm×58cm×45cm carton, a 20ft container takes roughly 360 pieces of this model alone. Tell us the full model list at enquiry rather than one at a time — the quote changes when several models share a colour run or a carton size.
Brand owners & private label — Yes. Three separate lines to budget: the logo sits in the unit price, a matched Pantone is its own run at 1,000 pieces, and packaging is third — this model ships in a printed colour box as standard, and anything else is a separate tooling and proofing round.
Promotional & gifting — One of the stronger uses for this model. Give us the in-hands date at enquiry rather than after artwork approval — we work backwards from it and tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
End users & institutions — Suited to schools and campus retail, canteens and site catering. For institutional buying, specify laser engraving rather than print — a printed logo on a coated body typically fades within one season of daily commercial dishwashing, while an engraved mark is cut into the 304 steel and does not.

This one runs 300 ml / 500 ml, and it is the one with the simplest build in this family, which keeps the unit price down. End users are students and school lunches, outdoor and camping use, camping, supermarket retail, gifting programmes. If that does not describe your programme, send us the brief instead of the model number — picking from a catalogue is how buyers end up with the wrong one.
Single-wall 304 stainless steel. The grade matters more than buyers expect: lower-grade steel picks up odours and passes them to whatever goes in next, and thin plastic warps in a dishwasher. We state the material on the invoice so there is no ambiguity later.
Yes. This model ships in its standard finish from 500 pieces; a matched Pantone means a dedicated run and starts at 1,000. Send the Pantone reference with your enquiry — we match against an approved physical sample rather than against a screen, because screens drift and a sprayed body in your hand does not.
For a brand colour we spray the body first and print onto the coating — two operations rather than one, so it shows in the price. For a mark that never wears, laser straight into the steel. Which is right depends entirely on whether the product lives on a desk or behind a bar.
Minimum is 500 per design, or 1,000 if you need the colour matched rather than chosen from stock. Production runs 30 days after deposit and artwork approval, sample in 7–10 days. Packing is 12 pcs per carton at 300ml: 73cm × 58cm × 44cm; 500ml: 73cm × 58cm × 45cm. Our plant is about three hours from Ningbo port, so FOB Ningbo is usually the cleanest route; EXW and DDP are both available.
