Short answer: a ZYN can is 2.75 inches across, 0.78 inches tall, and holds 15 pouches. The PouchGuard Twist has about the same footprint, opens with a twist instead of a pry, and holds around 40 pouches.

When developing the SMF Prints PouchGuard I did a lot of research and detailed measurements in order to design a solution that was similar diameter and height but easier to open. 

Accurate ZYN Can Dimensions

  • Diameter: 2.75 inches
  • Height: 0.78 inches
  • Capacity: 15 pouches

These precise measurements highlight the can's compact and user-friendly design.

  1. Diameter (2.75 inches): This dimension ensures the can is comfortably sizable for handling. The diameter is large enough to provide a good grip, yet compact enough to maintain portability and ease of storage.

  2. Height (0.78 inches): The ZYN can's low height makes it extremely portable and space-efficient. It's an ideal size for slipping into small pockets, purses, or compartments, ensuring that it doesn't take up much space.

Practical Use and Considerations

With these dimensions, the PouchGuard is a great alternative to the difficult to open Zyn can. The PouchGuard is designed for convenience. It's particularly beneficial for those who need an easier to open solution.
