The Australian beverage market has seen massive growth in hard seltzers, premixed RTDs, energy drinks, and craft slim cans. Because these skinny cans have a narrower diameter and taller height than traditional 375ml beer cans, standard stubby holders often fit too loosely.
Using a dedicated slim can stubby holder ensures a tight, non-slip grip that insulates your drink effectively and looks sharp.
This guide compares standard and slim dimensions, explains how to measure cans, and provides artwork layout recommendations.

Traditional beer and soft drink cans have a diameter of approximately 66 mm and a height of 115 mm. They require standard flat artwork templates measuring 220 mm x 115 mm.

Hard seltzers (such as White Claw or Fellr), energy drinks (Red Bull), and skinny RTDs have a narrower diameter of approximately 58 mm and a taller height of 145 mm. Slim templates measure 195 mm x 125 mm flat.
