Nicotine Pouch Can Specifications: Dimensions, Capacity & Certifications
TL;DR: The standard nicotine pouch can is 70 mm in diameter × 25 mm tall, holds 15–24 standard 0.5 g pouches, and is made from food-grade PP plastic or 6061 aluminum. MANKE produces Screw-Top, Snap-On Lid, Flip-Top, and ISO 8317 child-resistant options, all starting at 10,000 pcs MOQ.
Why Specifications Matter for Procurement
Small dimensional differences determine whether a can runs on your filling line, fits your label design, and meets retailer shelf requirements. A mismatch in diameter or closure torque can stop production, increase rework, or cause customs delays. This page is a precise reference for MANKE’s standard nicotine pouch can families.

Aluminum SKU Note
The blog previously referenced a legacy aluminum SKU code. MANKE’s aluminum CR line is consolidated under MK-SNUS-AL-CR (Aluminum Snus Can — Premium CR) with custom dimensions and anodized finishes. Contact MANKE for project-specific specs and MOQ.
PP Plastic vs Aluminum Nicotine Pouch Cans
PP plastic cans are the standard choice for most launches. They are injection-molded from food-grade polypropylene, resist moisture, and accept matte or glossy surface finishes. They are the lowest-cost option and the fastest to sample.
Aluminum cans offer a premium feel and superior barrier properties. CNC-machined 6061 aluminum with anodized finishes creates a heavier, colder tactile experience that signals quality. Aluminum is best for brands competing directly with premium products or targeting gift and limited-edition markets.
Child-Resistant Certification
Child-resistant (CR) closures are tested to ISO 8317 and, for the US market, 16 CFR 1700.20. MANKE’s CR cans ship with bodies and lids packed separately — this is required to maintain certification validity during transit. CR separation reduces container loading density by approximately 8% compared to assembled cans.
Customization Ranges
MANKE supports custom diameters, heights, lid mechanisms, and surface finishes within tooling feasibility. Custom molds require 4–6 weeks and are protected under NDA. Non-standard sizes typically start at the same 10,000 pcs MOQ as catalog designs.
