Metal urns are the lasting-craft line of a pet memorial range: brass, stainless steel and tin alloy, each carrying a different market story — classic, modern and vintage. Brushed brass with a clear protective lacquer suits dignified aftercare and provider channels; sandblasted matte stainless steel fits modern interiors and humid coastal markets; molded tin alloy relief speaks to gift lines with a vintage taste. Choose by channel positioning first, then by size tier for body weight. The six models on this page cover both volume and differentiation: MOQ from 200 pieces, FOB order-of-magnitude range of $4–15 (varies with configuration), V-groove machine engraving and enamel inlay completed within the standard proofing cycle, and a threaded lid with silicone gasket as standard across the line.
The classic form of the category: vertical body in brushed brass with a clear protective lacquer — dignified and durable, made for provider channels and premium retail.
A horizontal display memorial: an engraved pattern lid on brass, made for fireplace mantels and memorial-corner shelves.
The workhorse for modern interiors: 304 stainless steel with a sandblasted matte face — fingerprint-resistant and corrosion-resistant, a fit for modern design stores and humid coastal markets.
The vintage-story piece: cast tin alloy relief with an antique Pewter look, for gift lines and buyers who favor traditional texture.
The custom piece for two-pet families: a center divider separates two resting spaces, with brass or stainless steel lines to choose from.
A small keepsake for sharing and carrying: matching the main urn's finish, for families who each keep a portion of the ashes.
The same body volume can be expressed in different metals: look, weathering, engraving craft and price all differ — combine by channel positioning.
| Material trait | Brass | Stainless steel | Tin alloy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Look & feel | Steady metallic luster, brushed or mirror finish | Cool matte tone, modern look | Antique Pewter feel, made for relief |
| Weathering & care | Stable indoors under lacquer; avoid hard scraping | Strong corrosion resistance; fits humid coastal markets | Softer body; pair with cushioned packing |
| Engraving craft | Crisp V-groove machine engraving, enamel inlay possible | High-contrast laser engraving | Cast relief + laser engraving |
| Price tier | $$$$ · classic premium | $$ · value volume | $$$ · mid-range vintage |
Price tiers in the table describe relative positions at mainstream specifications; absolute prices follow each model's FOB order-of-magnitude range of $4–15 (varies with configuration).
Custom work on metal lids centers on cutting and filling: machine engraving cuts the V-groove, enamel inlay makes the name stand out, and finishes follow your brand tone.
A rotary cutter cuts a V-groove into the metal lid — deep, dimensional, and perceptible to the touch. Proofs in 3–5 days, with multilingual typeface support.
Enamel is applied into the engraved groove (gold/black/white common), making names and dates stand out on the metal; colors confirmed against a swatch card.
Brass in brushed or mirror finish, stainless in sandblasted matte, alloy in plated colors (gold/silver/antique) — chosen to your brand tone.
Every metal urn uses a threaded lid with a silicone gasket; each piece passes a sealing and visual check before shipping and leaves the factory in foam lining with a double carton. See our QC and after-sales system
Brass itself does not rust — tarnish is handled by the clear protective lacquer applied before shipping. 304 stainless steel resists corrosion well and suits humid coastal markets; tin alloy is softer and should avoid prolonged damp. The whole line is surface-sealed before leaving the factory and shows no rust under normal indoor display.
Machine engraving cuts a V-groove into the metal lid about 0.3–0.5 mm deep (order of magnitude) — crisp to the touch and ready for enamel inlay. Tin alloy relief is mold-formed, with depth set by the mold. Engraving proofs take 3–5 days to confirm depth and typeface before bulk production.
A threaded lid with a silicone gasket keeps the chamber sealed against moisture and spills; the companion model seals each chamber independently. Every piece passes a sealing check before packing, and ships in foam lining with a double carton.
Yes. Brass, stainless steel and tin alloy models can ship mixed in one order, with the category MOQ of 200 pieces counted across the whole order. Ratios and production scheduling are confirmed at quotation.
