The following technical reference is for brands evaluating empty nicotine pouch cans before production, filling-line testing, and market launch. MANKE manufactures empty packaging only — we do not produce, fill, or sell nicotine pouches. The standard nicotine pouch can specifications used across the B2B packaging market center on a 70 mm diameter × 25 mm height platform, supplied in food-grade PP plastic or 6061 aluminum. The common PP variant is the screw-top can, with an assembled weight of approximately 12 g and a pouch count of 15–24 regular 0.5 g pouches. The child-resistant version adds a push-and-turn base, collar, and lid mechanism, is tested to ISO 8317 and 16 CFR 1700.20, and ships with third-party lab reports for customs clearance in the United States, the EU, the UK, Canada, and GCC markets. Aluminum cans target premium positioning, with CNC-machined closures, anodized finishes, and a weight range of 15–25 g depending on wall thickness.
All catalog SKUs share the same Ø70 mm tooling, so brands can start with a standard can for market testing and switch to a CR or aluminum version without recalibrating automatic filling lines. MOQ starts at 10,000 pieces per SKU, stock-color samples ship in 7–10 working days, and custom molds require 4–6 weeks. The table below lists every standard MANKE empty nicotine pouch can, including dimensions, empty weight, closure type, typical pouch count, and certification. Use the table to compare PP plastic and aluminum options, confirm CR compliance for your target market, and choose the right base structure before requesting samples.

Why Do Specifications Matter for Procurement?
Small dimensional differences determine whether a can runs on your filling line, matches your label artwork, and satisfies retailer shelf requirements. A mismatch in diameter or closure torque can stop production, increase rework, or cause customs delays. The page is a precise reference for MANKE’s standard empty nicotine pouch can families.

How Should You Read the Specification Table?
Start with the SKU column to identify the base structure, then check Material, Diameter, and Height for filling-line compatibility. Empty Weight affects freight cost and shelf feel. Closure and Certification determine whether the can meets your target market’s retail requirements. Use the table during line trials, RFQ preparation, and artwork planning.
What Is the Standard Size of a Nicotine Pouch Can?
The industry standard is 70 mm in diameter × 25 mm in height. The 70 mm × 25 mm size is commonly used across many nicotine pouch packaging formats and should be validated with your filling equipment. MANKE keeps all standard plastic SKUs on the same platform so brands can switch between screw-top, snap-on, flip-top, and child-resistant versions without changing line calibration.
How Does a PP Plastic Can Compare to an Aluminum Can?
PP plastic cans are commonly selected for high-volume B2B programs because of lower per-piece cost, faster sampling, and broad decoration options. Aluminum cans cost more and take longer to sample, but offer a premium tactile feel, stronger moisture barrier, and better scratch resistance through hard anodizing. The material choice depends on brand positioning and target market: plastic for volume launches and aluminum for premium or gift editions.
Which Closure Type Is Right for Your Launch?
For moist snus, a screw-top gives the strongest seal. For one-handed convenience-store use, the flip-top is better. For a premium click feel, choose the snap-on lid. For regulated retail in the United States, the EU, or Canada, the push-and-turn CR closure may be required depending on market regulations, product category, and retailer requirements.
What Is Child-Resistant Certification?
Child-resistant 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 to support certified assembly control during shipping and inspection. Each shipment includes a third-party lab report with batch details.
Can You Order Custom Dimensions?
Yes. 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. See custom nicotine pouch packaging options for colors, labels, molds, and OEM services.
