Description

Put a considered brand experience into a small, ready-to-use package. These custom single-serve paper canisters provide a rigid, compact format for coffee grounds, matcha, protein powder, nutritional powders, candy and trial portions. They work well for travel packs, tasting programs, sampling campaigns and subscription boxes.

Size for the actual portion

A 50 g (approx. 1.76 oz) fill is a reference option; other mini portions can be developed around the actual contents. Choose a mini metal lid, easy-open end or paper lid, with a metal or paper bottom suited to the structure. A first-opening seal or small inner pouch can also be specified.

Choose protection and branding

For contents needing additional protection, an optional food-grade high-barrier lining and composite construction are available. Barrier performance depends on the finished lining and seal. The cylindrical body supports 360° branding in CMYK or Pantone spot colors, with compatible lid decoration and custom finishing options.

Confirm filling compatibility

Because the canister is small, the diameter, closure components and filling equipment must fit together. Share your product, target portion, intended food-contact use and filling method so the structure can be checked. Custom production takes approximately 20–30 days, with a minimum order of 1,000 canisters. Request a quote for the final configuration and destination with shipping included.
