A standard Coke can in the US is 4.81 inches tall and 2.60 inches wide. In mm, that’s 122.2 mm high and 66.0 mm in diameter. The 330ml European version is slightly shorter at 115.2 mm. Sleek cans run taller at 155.7 mm but thinner at 57.1 mm.
You need one number and you need it fast. Maybe you’re cutting a foam insert, designing a wrap label, or figuring out shelf clearance. Coke cans come in more formats than most people realize — and the differences between them quietly cause real problems when you’re working with precise spaces.
Here’s every size, cleanly laid out.
How Big Is a Coke Can?
These two questions have different answers depending on which can you’re holding.
The standard US 12 oz can sits at 4.81 inches tall with a 2.60-inch body width. That’s the stubby, classic shape in North America. The sleek format — used for Zero Sugar and Energy lines — stretches to 6.13 inches tall while narrowing to 2.25 inches wide. The mini drops down to just 3.98 inches.
So “how big” depends entirely on which Coke can size you mean.
Standard 12 oz Coke Can — US and Canada
Coke Can Dimensions in Inches
- Height: 4.81 in
- Body diameter: 2.60 in
- Lid diameter: 2.05 in
- Circumference: 8.16 in
Coke Can Dimensions in MM
- Height: 122.2 mm
- Body diameter: 66.0 mm
- Lid diameter: 52 mm
- Circumference: 207.3 mm
Coke Can Dimensions in CM
- Height: 12.22 cm
- Diameter: 6.60 cm
The lid is narrower than the body by 14 mm. That taper — called necking — saves aluminum at scale. The domed bottom handles internal carbonation pressure, which exceeds 90 PSI in a sealed can. Both design choices are structural, not cosmetic.
330ml Coke Can — UK, Europe, and Asia
Coke Can Dimensions 330ml
- Height: 115.2 mm / 4.52 in
- Diameter: 66.3 mm / 2.61 in
- Volume: 330 ml / 11.2 fl oz
Same body width as the US can. About 7 mm shorter. They look identical on camera, which is exactly why people get caught out when buying European accessories for American cans — or the other way around. That gap is small enough to ignore visually and significant enough to matter in any tight-fit build.
Sleek Can — 12 oz in a Taller, Thinner Format
Used across Coke Zero Sugar, Coke Energy, and flavored diet lines.
Slim Coke Can Dimensions
- Height: 155.7 mm / 6.13 in
- Diameter: 57.1 mm / 2.25 in
- Circumference: 179.07 mm
- Volume: 355 ml — same as standard 12 oz
Same liquid. Completely different shape. People buy holders built for one format, then wonder why the other doesn’t sit right. The sleek can is nearly an inch taller and almost half an inch thinner than a standard can.
Mini Coke Can — 7.5 oz
Mini Coke Can Dimensions
- Height: 101.1 mm / 3.98 in
- Diameter: 57.1 mm / 2.25 in
- Volume: 222 ml / 7.5 fl oz
The mini shares its diameter with the sleek can — not the standard. It’s narrower than a regular 12 oz can, not just shorter. That detail matters when you’re sizing a holder or a display rack.
Large Format Coke Can
| Format | Height | Diameter | Volume |
| 16 oz Tallboy | 157 mm / 6.19 in | 66 mm / 2.60 in | 473 ml |
| 19.2 oz Stovepipe | 190.5 mm / 7.50 in | 66 mm / 2.60 in | 568 ml |
Both share the same diameter as the standard 12 oz. A cup holder that fits a regular can will handle a tallboy. Only the height changes.
Full Size Comparison Table
| Can Type | Height (mm) | Height (in) | Diameter (mm) | Volume |
| Mini 7.5 oz | 101.1 | 3.98″ | 57.1 | 222 ml |
| 330ml EU/UK | 115.2 | 4.52″ | 66.3 | 330 ml |
| Standard 12 oz US | 122.2 | 4.81″ | 66.0 | 355 ml |
| Slim 250ml | 134.0 | 5.28″ | 53.0 | 250 ml |
| Sleek 12 oz | 155.7 | 6.13″ | 57.1 | 355 ml |
| 16 oz Tallboy | 157.0 | 6.19″ | 66.0 | 473 ml |
| 19.2 oz Stovepipe | 190.5 | 7.50″ | 66.0 | 568 ml |
Coke Can Dimensions Circumference — Label Design
If you’re creating a full-wrap label, circumference is your key number — not diameter.
- Standard can (66 mm dia): 207.3 mm printable width
- Sleek/Mini can (57.1 mm dia): 179.07 mm printable width
Usable label height on a standard can is only 90–95 mm. The neck taper at the top and the dome arch at the bottom can’t hold flat graphics. Design outside that zone and the edges distort. This is one of the most common mistakes in custom label printing.
What People Get Wrong
“UK and US cans are the same.” Same width, different height. 7 mm shorter in the UK version — invisible on screen, real in practice.
“Sleek cans have less liquid.” No. A sleek 12 oz holds the exact same 355 ml as a standard can. The format is a branding choice.
“Mini cans are just smaller standard cans.” The diameter is different. Mini cans are 57.1 mm wide — matching sleek cans, not standard ones.
Practical Numbers Worth Keeping
- Empty can weight: 14–15 grams
- Full 12 oz can weight: 370–380 grams
- Shelf clearance recommended: at least 5 inches vertical for standard US cans
- Body material: 3004 aluminum alloy; lid uses harder 5182 alloy for pull-tab integrity

FAQ
If I only know one measurement, which one matters most for fitting a can into a holder?
Diameter. A can that’s too wide won’t go in at all. Height issues are easier to work around — diameter mismatches aren’t.
Why does the top of the can feel narrower when I hold it near the lid?
Because it is. The lid is 52 mm; the body is 66 mm. That 14 mm taper is intentional — it reduces aluminum use on the most expensive part of the can.
I’m 3D modeling a Coke can. Which height is most accurate — 4.81 or 4.83 inches?
Use 122.2 mm (4.81 in). The 4.83 figure is a rounded approximation that circulates online. 122.2 mm is the verified manufacturing spec.
Will a 250ml slim can holder fit a standard 12 oz Coke?
No. A slim can is 53 mm wide. A standard Coke can is 66 mm. Even a sleek can at 57.1 mm won’t fit a slim slot.
Does the sleek can format stay consistent across all Coke flavors that use it?
Yes. The 155.7 mm height and 57.1 mm diameter are standardized across the sleek format regardless of flavor or variety.
The Short Version
Diameter and height. Those two numbers handle 90% of real-world use cases.
Standard US — 122 mm tall, 66 mm wide. Sleek and mini — 57 mm wide, different heights. EU/UK — same width as US, 7 mm shorter. Once you know the format, the measurements are consistent and reliable every time.
