What you need to know about the new ZYN cans
Opening a ZYN can might seem straightforward, but the child-resistant and senior-friendly design can sometimes be tricky. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you access your nicotine pouches with ease.
Understanding ZYN Packaging
ZYN cans are designed to keep the contents fresh and protected, while also ensuring user safety. They feature a certified lid, in accordance with applicable standards, which is resistant to opening by children and the first of its kind in the industry.
This design helps prevent accidental access by children while being accessible for seniors.
Step-by-Step Guide to Opening ZYN Cans
Locate the Perforated Seal: The first step is to find the perforated seal on the side label of the can. This seal ensures the freshness of the pouches and keeps the lid securely in place.
Break the Perforation: Gently press and tear the perforated edge to remove the seal. This step is necessary to enable the lid to open.
Align the Arrows until you hear a “click”: Twist the lid so that the arrows on the top and bottom of the can are fully aligned. Proper alignment is confirmed by a distinct “click”, indicating that the lid is ready to open.
Lift the Lid: Once the arrows are aligned and you hear the “click”, lift the lid to access the pouches inside. The lid should come off smoothly, revealing the nicotine pouches.
Tips for Adult Users
Use Gentle Pressure: Applying gentle pressure when breaking the seal can make the process easier and prevent any strain on your hands.
Twist Slowly: Slowly rotating the lid until the arrows align and the “click” is heard can make opening smoother.
Seek Assistance: If you find it challenging to open the can, don’t hesitate to ask for help from an adult family member or friend.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Forcing the Lid: Avoid using excessive force to open the lid, as this can damage the can and make it harder to access the pouches.
Ignoring the Arrows: Before opening, ensure the arrows are fully aligned and that you hear the “click”. This step is essential for proper opening.
ZYN cans are designed to be resistant to access by children while remaining easy to use for adults. Opening them is simple once you are familiar with the steps. By following this guide, you can access your nicotine pouches with ease.
Do not forget: this design aims to help prevent unintended access by children, while preserving product freshness and ensuring safety for adult users.
