GothiaTek®...needs a packaging change.

[Slydel]

Why does GothiaTek® still make their snus in such a shitty container. Cardboard with rigid plastic tops? The cardboard is crap when it comes to a tight seal and the plastic top breaks in transit or whenever you might drop the damn can. I have had to deal with at least four cans that have been a problem (out of say ten cans of GothiaTek®). GothiaTek® makes some of the best snus, but it has some of the crapiest packaging that I have ever seen. If any Gothiatek representative reads this, please fix your crap! Anyone else have this problem or do I just ask too much?

I don't mind the cardboard tin, but they should use metal lids. Much classier, and easier to recycle.

[Bastage]

Nick and J have the coolest snus cans ever, that's gothiatek too. No idea why some of them are so bad.

The best design ive seen is skruf. Its even advertised as water proof.

Now i can play water polo and have snus on hand. HURRAY!!

[Kindrd]

GothiaTek® is the trademark name of their processing technique. Swedish Match would be the company. I am not a big fan of the cardboard either, I prefer the plastic.

[Slydel]

Crap, why does Swedish Match have such shitty packaging? Am I the only one that has had so many problems with their packaging? There should be a lot of people out there complaining, but I don't see many on this foroum. Are all of you that forgiving or does my mail carrier smack the shit around?

I don't buy many SM products, most are just 1 offs. The only regulars I get are Catch Eucalyptus, and Grove portions.

I dunno. I like the fibreboard cans. It is a sign of an original. Just like Copenhagen in America. If Copenhagensnuff ever came in a plastic can I think I would stop buying it. I am sure the mentality amongst the old-school Swedish los users would be the same.

Sounds to me that you've just gotten some dented cans through the mail. So have I. It happens. You cant expect soft cardboard to be in perfect condition after such a trip in a paper envelope.

Solution... Buy an Icetool Snusbox and call it a day.

[sagedil]

In 17 months of snusing, I have never had one can that has been broken or dented. Guess I am just lucky or the snus gods favor me.

[Xobeloot]

I have never ordered a SM brand that comes in cardboard without getting a crushed can in my order. I have never complained to Buysnus about it because I am the cheap ass who isnt willing to pay for UPS. I just take the can that has the most damage and relocate the snus from that can into a solid can and use it first.

If you've never gotten a bruised can, you are definately lucky! I have gotten cracked plastic cans too. It happens. Do I complain about it? Nah... The snus still tastes the same from a dented can as it does from an pristine can.

Icetool box.

I also use Lucky Strike boxes and have never thrown away a single tin of my 2 rolls of Diplomat. By far the best tin.

I too admire the old fashioned wax cardboard affect. It's just not so good to mix wax with snus when using the icetool on the bottom of the tin.

I complain to Swedish Match directly. I still don't understand why the General Onyx, which is a White Portion Stark, doesn't say that anywhere on the container. They're getting back to me on that one.

I like the cans too but always end up scratching the stupid man's head off. I don't know why but it annoys me.

[holnrew]

I can't say I mind too much, it seems like less of a waste as it's recyclable.

[bakerbarber]

I prefer the fiber board cans. They seem more authentic.

I am tired of plastic plastic everywhere.

Metal tins would make my freight go up too fast.

I like the natural perception of the wax lined can.

I agree that a metal lid like cope would be good.

Maybe my mailman is just easier on my packages. I've seen a dent or two, but no blow outs yet.
