Sch�ttbeh�lter (mit Pfefferminzpastillen)
fill tins/refill tins with peppermint pastilles
I shy away from *containers* in this case because containers depicts something larger

You can try to get "schütten" in there but I bet it will end up sounding weird. A "tin" would be to open up (IMO).

This "mit" business in German is tricky. It is so easy to translate it always as "with," but sometimes it's better to choose a different word. IMHO this is one of those times.

: I would say yes, if this pertained to bulk quantities of peppermints. In light of the other products (which suggest to me an office desk) I assume these peppermint boxes are small. I agree with you on "mit" - this is one of those times. :)
