The tins are probably a lot thinner than what you're expecting. Your average Altoids tin is of sturdier stuff.

If you have a hobby or art store near you (Michaels in this area), you can something very similar to the tins you linked.

From what I've seen at the store, the lids don't have hinges and are either slip on or screw on depending on the type you buy. However, as mentioned above, there are hinged tins like these out there.
