What Are the Common Snus Can Dimensions?
A widely used empty snus can format is 70mm diameter × 25mm height. The 70mm diameter is common among nicotine pouch brands because the size matches many filling lines, retail display trays, and consumer handling expectations.
| Dimension | Common Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | 70mm | Matches many standard filling and capping lines |
| Height | 25mm (standard) / 20mm (slim) | 25mm is most common; 20mm for smaller pouch counts |
| Internal Volume | ~60ml (standard) | Approximate; varies by wall thickness and structure |
| Wall Thickness | 0.8–1.2mm | PP injection-molded; varies by structure and tooling design |
The 70mm format is widely adopted because the diameter aligns with common filling equipment, retail fixtures, and consumer handling requirements. 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 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.
| PP Plastic — Screw-Top | PP Plastic — Snap-On Lid | PP Plastic — Flip-Top | PP Plastic — Custom / OEM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKU | MK-SNUS-PP-SL | MK-SNUS-PP-SNL | MK-SNUS-PP-FT | MK-SNUS-PP-CU |
| Material | Food-grade PP | Food-grade PP | Food-grade PP | Food-grade PP |
| Diameter | 70mm | 70mm | 70mm | 59–80mm typical |
| Height | 25mm | 25mm | 25mm | 15–35mm typical |
| Closure Type | Screw-Top | Snap-On Lid | Integrated Flip-Top | By design |

Note on waste compartments: MANKE PP snus cans include both single-cavity designs (screw-top, custom) and double-layer designs with catch-lid compartments (snap-on lid, flip-top). CR variants do not include a waste compartment because combining CR mechanisms with compartments creates certification and reliability conflicts. For a full list of which SKUs include a catch-lid compartment, see the complete snus can catalog.
MANKE Child-Resistant Snus Can Options
MANKE CR can options are developed for ISO 8317 requirements and use a push-and-turn closure. The right choice depends on height, capacity, and material preference.
| PP Plastic — Child-Resistant | Aluminum — Premium CR | |
|---|---|---|
| SKU | MK-SNUS-PP-CR | MK-SNUS-AL-CR |
| Material | Food-grade PP | 6061 Aluminum |
| Diameter | 70mm | 70mm |
| Height | 25mm | Custom 20–25mm typical |
| Closure Type | Push-and-Turn CR | CNC-machined CR |
| Child-Resistant | ISO 8317 + 16 CFR 1700.20 referenced | ISO 8317 + 16 CFR 1700.20 referenced |
| Approx. Empty Weight | ~13g | 15–25g |
| Pouch Capacity | 15–20 | 15–20 |
| Food-Contact Documentation | ✅ Available | ✅ Available |
| Best For | Standard CR compliance | Premium brand positioning |
| Price (200K+) | From $0.097/pc | Contact for quote |
MANKE CR can options ship with applicable ISO 8317 test reports, per-batch test records, and food-contact declarations for qualifying orders. Market-specific requirements such as 16 CFR 1700.20 should be confirmed with a compliance consultant or CPSC-accepted lab before finalizing packaging. Bodies and lids are packed separately as standard for CR configurations.
For additional sizes and structures, see the complete catalog at /collections/all-snus-cans or the CR compliance solution page.
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 typical |
| 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-on, CR — specified during design) |
| MOQ | 10,000 pcs; custom projects depend on tooling |
| 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 heavier than PP plastic (15–25g vs ~12–14g empty), which increases per-piece shipping cost. Many premium brands accept the trade-off for the tactile differentiation aluminum provides.
A UK brand evaluated both plastic and aluminum paths simultaneously before deciding on a mixed-material 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 which simplified their procurement. [Evidence: 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-on 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 do not 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-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 CR cans (bodies and lids separated) can hold approximately 480,000 sets. [Evidence: PS-002]
How Many Pouches Does a Standard Snus Can Hold?
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 Can (~70×20mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
