What Are the Standard Snus Can Dimensions?
The industry-standard empty snus can is 70mm diameter × 25mm height. This dimension has become the default for nicotine pouch brands worldwide because it fits standard filling equipment, retail display trays, and consumer pockets.
| Dimension | Standard Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | 70mm | Industry standard across most brands |
| Height | 25mm (standard) / 20mm (slim) | 25mm is most common; 20mm for smaller pouch counts |
| Internal Volume | ~60ml (standard) | Approximate; varies slightly by wall thickness |
| Wall Thickness | 0.8–1.2mm | PP injection-molded; consistent within ±0.05mm tolerance |
The 70mm standard is not arbitrary — it emerged from decades of oral tobacco packaging and has been adopted by nicotine pouch brands because:
- Filling line compatibility: Existing snus machinery is calibrated to 70mm diameter cans
- Retail standardization: Display racks and point-of-sale fixtures fit 70mm
- Consumer expectation: The form factor is familiar to snus and pouch users
- Port-to-pocket ratio: Fits comfortably in a hand, pocket, or bag
MANKE can produce non-standard dimensions (59mm, 80mm, custom heights 15-35mm) through custom mold development, typically requiring 4-6 weeks for tooling.
MANKE Plastic Snus Can Options
MANKE’s main-series PP plastic cans cover the most common brand requirements — from low-cost screw-top to one-handed flip-top. All share the same 70mm diameter so filling-line calibration does not change between SKUs.

Note on waste compartments: MANKE’s standard 70mm × 25mm cans are single-cavity designs. Some competitors and earlier blog drafts referenced “waste compartments” as a standard feature, but MANKE’s catalog SKUs do not include a built-in waste compartment. If your brand requires a separate used-pouch compartment, discuss custom mold development (MK-SNUS-PP-CU) or select from the extended catalog on /collections/all-snus-cans. [来源: PS-001]
MANKE Child-Resistant Snus Can Options
All MANKE CR cans are tested to ISO 8317 and use a push-and-turn closure. The right choice depends on height, capacity, and material preference.
| PP Plastic — Child-Resistant | Child-Resistant (Triangle Logo) | Child-Resistant (Triangular Prism Logo) | Aluminum — Premium CR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKU | MK-SNUS-PP-CR | MK-SNUS-PP-CR-TRIANGLE | MK-SNUS-PP-CR-PRISM | MK-SNUS-AL-CR |

Aluminum Snus Can Specifications
MANKE’s aluminum cans use CNC machining and anodized finishing for brands seeking premium differentiation.
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material | 6061 aluminum alloy |
| Process | CNC machining + anodized surface finish |
| Diameter | 70mm (standard); custom on request |
| Height | Custom (typically 20–25mm) |
| Wall Thickness | 0.6–1.0mm |
| Empty Weight | 15–25g (varies by design and wall thickness) |
| Surface Finishes | Chrome-look / Bronze-look / Black / Matte black / Custom Pantone |
| Closure Type | Custom (screw-top, snap-fit, CR — specified during design) |
| MOQ | Determined by design complexity |
| Lead Time | 4–6 weeks mold development + production |
| Customization | Full dimensional + surface + closure customization |
| NDA Protection | ✅ CAD files and engineering drawings protected |
Surface Finish Options:
| Finish | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome-look anodized | Bright silver metallic | Tech-forward, lifestyle brands |
| Bronze-look anodized | Warm copper metallic | Luxury, traditional, fragrance-adjacent |
| Black / Matte black | Standard premium | Wide premium positioning |
| Custom Pantone anodized | Brand-matched color | Strong brand identity |
Aluminum cans are significantly heavier than PP plastic (15-25g vs 9-13g empty), which increases per-unit shipping cost. However, many premium brands accept this trade-off for the tactile differentiation aluminum provides.
A UK brand evaluated both plastic and aluminum paths simultaneously before deciding on a split strategy: aluminum cans for their premium line, PP plastic for their volume line. MANKE supported both with the same NDA, same account manager, and same production facility — a single-supplier advantage that simplified their procurement. [来源: CS-009]
Closure Types and How They Affect Dimensions
Closure type affects the can’s overall height, sealing performance, and compatibility with filling equipment.
| Closure Type | Height Impact | Seal Quality | CR Compatible | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screw-Top | No impact (standard 25mm) | Best — continuous thread seal | ⚠️ Possible with CR screw cap | Moist products, maximum seal, lowest cost |
| Snap-On Lid | No impact (standard 25mm) | Good — press-fit click | ❌ | Premium tactile feel |
| Integrated Flip-Top | No impact (standard 25mm) | Good — integrated hinge | ❌ | One-hand convenience |
| Push-and-Turn CR | No impact (standard 25mm) | Excellent — dual-action lock | ✅ ISO 8317 | Regulated markets |
MANKE’s CR cans use the push-and-turn mechanism (base + collar + lid). The closure mechanism is built into the same 70mm × 25mm form factor — the external dimensions don’t change. What changes is the internal usable volume: CR mechanisms and screw threads consume 2-5mm of internal height, slightly reducing pouch capacity compared to snap-on lid variants of the same external size.
How Much Does an Empty Snus Can Weigh?
Weight matters for two reasons: shipping cost (heavier = more expensive freight) and consumer perception (heavier = more premium feel).
| SKU / Product | Empty Weight (approx.) | With 20 Pouches |
|---|---|---|
| MK-SNUS-PP-SL Screw-Top | ~12g | ~27–32g |
| MK-SNUS-PP-SNL Snap-On Lid | ~14g | ~29–34g |
| MK-SNUS-PP-FT Flip-Top | ~15g | ~30–35g |
| MK-SNUS-PP-CR Child-Resistant | ~13g | ~28–33g |
| MK-SNUS-PP-CR-TRIANGLE Slim CR | ~16g | ~31–36g |
| MK-SNUS-PP-CR-PRISM Mid CR | ~17.9g | ~33–38g |
| MK-SNUS-AL-CR Aluminum (standard wall) | 15–20g | ~35–45g |
| MK-SNUS-AL-CR Aluminum (thin wall) | 12–16g | ~32–40g |
For container shipping, a 40HQ loaded with ~480,000 CR cans (bodies and lids separated) weighs approximately 5,500–6,500 kg net product weight plus carton and pallet weight. [来源: CS-002]
How Many Pouches Fit in a Standard Snus Can?
Pouch capacity depends on three variables: can internal volume, pouch size, and whether a desiccant insert is included.
| Pouch Type | Pouch Weight | Pouches per Standard Can (70×25mm) | Pouches per Slim CR Can (~70×20.4mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slim (mini) | 0.5–0.7g | 20–24 | 12–16 |
| Standard | 0.7–1.0g | 15–20 | 10–14 |
| Large (max) | 1.0–1.5g | 10–15 | 8–10 |
If your brand includes a desiccant insert (for moisture control), subtract 2-4 pouches from each estimate to account for the insert’s footprint.
The best way to confirm pouch count is to request samples and physically test your pouches in each SKU. MANKE provides 2-5 free samples per option — standard white/natural color ships in 7-10 working days.
Can You Customize Snus Can Dimensions?
Yes. MANKE offers full dimensional customization through OEM mold development.
| Customization | Timeline | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Color (standard dimensions) | +3–5 days on samples | Pantone matched. Same tooling — color does not affect certification. |
| Custom Height (15–35mm) | +4–6 weeks | New mold required. Diameter usually kept at 70mm for filling line compatibility. |
| Custom Diameter (59mm, 80mm, etc.) | +4–6 weeks | New mold required. Confirm filling line compatibility before ordering. |
| Custom Closure Mechanism | +4–6 weeks | New mold + mechanism testing. NDA required. |
| Custom Surface Finish (aluminum) | +2–3 weeks | Anodizing process development for new colors. |
All custom projects are protected under NDA. MANKE does not retain mold ownership — the mold is yours. CAD files and engineering drawings are never shared with third parties.
