What’s the Price of Pouches?

Ideally, every nicotine pouch lover could enjoy their favourite flavours without having to worry about prices. But for most people, cost does enter the equation when picking out a product.

This article outlines the typical price of pouches — including popular names like VELO, smaller brands, and nicotine-free options. We’ll also reveal some tips for securing the best price possible.

How to Calculate the Price of Pouches

At first glance, working out the cost of pouches might seem as simple as looking at the price tag of any given product.

However, for those who want the best value for their money, it may make more sense to compare the weight of pouch cans or the number of pouches instead.

Weight of the Can

Cans with a greater net weight effectively contain more product, meaning better value for money.

For instance, On! Mint 3 and XQS Arctic Freeze Ultra Strong both have prices starting at €4.79. But the former has a net weight of 6.4 g per can, while the latter has a net weight of 14 g — more than double. As a result, On! pouches turn out to be more expensive.

However, pouch cans at both ends of the price spectrum sometimes provide the same contents. This is the case with VALØ and FIX nicotine pouches, for instance. Despite a price differential of more than two euros, both brands offer cans with a net weight of 14 g.

Number of Pouches

In some cases, it may make sense to work out the cost per pouch instead of the cost per can. While most brands offer 20 pouches per can, there is some variation.

For instance, Zone X Fuji Zing Extra Strong contains 24 pouches. So while prices start from €4.79, pouches cost roughly 20 cents each.

Puff & Pouch Lime Mint 12mg costs the same, but each can contains 20 pouches. As a result, the pouches cost a slightly more expensive 24 cents each.

Average Price of Pouches

While we recommend keeping the factors outlined above in mind when comparing prices, we have focused on the cost of cans here for simplicity.

Below are some examples of prices for some of our most popular products and brands, separated into three categories:

• Affordable
• Mid-range
• Premium

Affordable Pouches

FIX is one of the most nicotine pouch brands we stock, with prices starting from just €2.89. Despite the lower price tag, FIX products are known for their innovative taste profiles, demonstrated by the brand’s “flavour index.” This is shown by flavours like pineapple rum, cherry blossom, and green mango lemongrass.

Other affordable brands include:

• SNATCH: from €3.49
• DOPE: from €3.49
• KLINT: from €3.29

Mid-Range Pouches

The pouches in our mid-range category are a slight step up in price from the most affordable options.

Europe’s most popular nicotine pouch brand, VELO, fits into this category, with prices starting at €3.79. There are endless choices, including some of our bestselling products, like VELO Crispy Peppermint (previously VELO Ice Cool).

Other mid-range pouch brands are:

• HIT: from €3.69
• Ace: from €3.89
• Skruf Superwhite: from €3.79
• Killa: from €4.40
• NICO: from €4.40
• LOOP: from €3.89

Premium Pouches

Price isn’t everything, and some people would prefer to pay a little more to get their nicotine pouch brand of choice.

The most expensive are VALØ nicotine pouches, which have prices from €5.49. To live up to its price tag, the brand offers silky smooth pouches, moist contents, and unique flavours such as mint and juniper.

However, in most cases, premium pouches are only 50 cents or less more expensive than mid-range pouch prices.

Other brands in this category include:

• ZYN: from €4.79
• Lundgrens: from €4.79
• White Fox: from €4.89
• Siberia: from €4.89
• STRÖM: from €4.79
• NOIS: from €4.79
• LYFT: from €4.99

Factors that Affect the Price of Pouches

Wondering why some pouches are more expensive than others? We’ll briefly outline the main factors.

Quality

Brands that charge a little more for their products often go to greater lengths to provide a luxurious experience.

This could mean using premium ingredients, better nicotine pouch manufacturers and production processes, or more high-end materials in the can itself.

Brand

A more expensive product doesn’t always mean better quality ingredients or a better product.

Some brands simply like to position themselves as more “premium” and spend the extra money they receive from sales on their advertising.

Quantity of Contents

Generally, brands charge the same for all their products, regardless of factors like nicotine strength or flavour. But some brands charge more for products with more contents.

For instance, the nicotine-free pouch Onico Original has 24 pouches that weigh 1 g each, while Onico Original Mini has 20 sachets weighing 0.5 g each. To make up for this, there’s a slight price differential.

How to Get Pouches for a Lower Price

While some brands will always be more expensive than others, there are ways to get any product for the lowest price possible.

One of the best options is shopping online, which tends to be cheaper than buying nicotine pouches from grocery stores or convenience stores.

On Snusdirect, customers can save even more by creating an account, which provides access to our rewards scheme and the chance to be in the loop about offers and discounts.

Bulk buying is another way to get the best value for money. Buying a roll (10 cans) instead of a single can on Snusdirect can lead to savings of between €5 and €15!
