Roof sheets come in various materials, including metal, asphalt, and fiberglass, and their widths can vary depending on the manufacturer and the intended application. Standard roof sheet widths typically range from 24 inches to 36 inches, although some materials may have widths up to 48 inches. The width chosen often depends on factors such as the overall design of the building, local climate conditions, and specific manufacturer offerings.

Once the graphics are finalized, manufacturers move to the creation of the tin boxes themselves. The process involves cutting and shaping sheets of steel, which are coated with a layer of tin to prevent rusting and ensure durability. The pieces are then pressed into shape and assembled—usually featuring a hinged lid and a sturdy handle, reminiscent of the lunch boxes popularized in the mid-20th century.
