I've been searching for a tin container with a screw on cap that is about 3.3" wide and about 1.25" tall online for hours! There are lots of resellers on Ebay and Amazon selling these at very high prices! I saw one for $34.00 for ONE container! Does another know of a wholesaler that sells this sort of thing? Thanks for any help you can provide!

maybe something like this would work?
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!
https://www.specialtybottle.com/metal-tin-containers/deep-flat-slipcover/4oz-tnf4 also a little short
I am assuming that the 3.23" measurement on the SKS bottle is for the container and since the lid "slips" onto it, it has to be wider than the indentation in the lid so hopefully it will be at least 3" wide or slightly larger than that which should work! The pucks are slightly under 3" in diameter and the height is less than 1" for the pucks. The prices are quite good for these too!
Thanks so much for your help on this! I really appreciate it!
well we buy extracts from this site but the have packaging as well
https://mountainroseherbs.com/push-top-tins the 4 oz size website states should accommodate 3" label

Again, I appreciate all of these responses.
Uline has tin plated "metal" with an 8 oz. container that is 3 1/8 x 2" - a little tall but possible.
The Chinese products may have some options but typically I buy US made whenever possible. It is good to know about the rusting but I don't know if would apply too much to this kind of product?
Mountain Rose Herbs is a familiar name going back quite a long time. The three smaller sizes of theirs are made in China and have an indentation in the cap but the largest one, has a "1 1/16” height, 3 1/16” in diameter and can accommodate a 3” diameter circle label"and has a flat top with no indentation and is made in the US. The given diameter of this container being 3 1/16" has got to be for the base and the lid that slides on top of the base has to be even larger than that! This probably applies to almost all of these but the companies aren't going to list it that way!
Paper Mart has a 1 1/4 ''/3 1/8 '' and 4 oz which in small quantities is over $1.00
My current plastic container is about 1 7/8" tall and about 2 3/8" diameter with about 5/8" headspace above the shaving soap puck. The problem with it is it has a bottom that is curved upward and the puck rocks back and forth on it. There seems to be all kinds of shaving soap packaging out there, some are just used as a package and the bar is removed and put into another container to use and others are used as they are, to lather the puck. It is difficult to know which way to go with this. Those who put this in a container and use it from that can put it back in this container to store and use it to travel with. Those who use it to shave out of can just leave it there!Will check some of the older samples and remeasure their size and some may shrink a little. I wish I could find a manual puck press to make them all the exact same size! It's is good to know what the options are and maybe I can find a 3.5" x 1.5" tin... who knows! Thanks again to all of you for your assistance! I appreciate it!
You made a good point about the rusting of tin! I went to a shaving message board and found posts from several people who have experienced the rusting of their tin containers (which many of them keep and use for years!) PaperMart seemed to be the only one out there offering a "rust resistant" coating on one of theirs but they don't offer a size that I could use... packaging products can be a real roller coaster ride at times!
Thanks!
Dormex is in the UK but you might get hints of what to look for.🙂
