🧰 Step 1: Choose Your Base Can
Your design starts with the foundation — the can itself. At Nicotin.co, you can choose from several premium finishes including:
- Matte Black
- Brushed Aluminum
- Limited edition color drops
Each can is made from high-grade aluminum that’s built to last. Your base color can either complement or contrast with your design — for example, a matte black base makes light or neon graphics pop, while brushed aluminum offers a minimalist, industrial look.
Keep in mind:
- All cans have the same internal capacity (fits approx. 15–20 pouches)
- The texture and finish can subtly affect how your design appears
Once you’ve picked your base, it’s time to make it yours.
🎨 Step 2: Upload or Create Your Design
Now comes the fun part — bringing your can to life with your own design.
At Nicotin.co, you can either upload a ready-made design or choose from premade designs. Whether it’s your initials, a clean logo, a bold graphic, or even a meme, the choice is yours.
What You Can Upload:
- PNG or JPG files (recommended resolution: 300 DPI)
- Vector files like SVG or PDF for sharp results
- Logos, text, patterns, illustrations, or custom art
Tips for a Great Design:
- Keep it bold and high-contrast for better visibility
- Avoid small, intricate details that may not print well
- Use transparent backgrounds when possible
- Test how your design looks against different base colors
- Use Canva to create your design
Don’t have a design? No problem. You can:
- Use our preset templates
- Add stylized text in your favorite font
- Mix and match elements for a unique look
Once you’re happy with your artwork, it’s time to fine-tune the layout.
👁 Step 3: Preview and Customize Placement
After uploading your design, use the live preview tool to perfect your layout. You’ll be able to view your can in real-time, rotate it, and see exactly how your customizations will appear on the final product.
Layout Options:
- Front placement: Most visible, ideal for logos or text
- Top placement: Great for initials, icons, or symbols
- Both: For full visibility and a complete branded look
Take your time during this step — it’s your last chance to make adjustments before ordering. The goal is to ensure your can looks just the way you imagined.
🧾 Step 4: Confirm and Place Your Order
Once your design looks perfect in the preview, it’s time to bring it to life. At this stage, you’ll confirm the final version and proceed to checkout.
What to Expect:
- A final design review with resolution checks
- Option to save your design for later
- Secure checkout with fast, reliable shipping options
Your custom can is printed using premium-grade materials and modern printing techniques to ensure crisp, long-lasting results. Most orders are produced and shipped within a few business days.
You’ll receive tracking updates as your order is fulfilled and on its way.
