All measurements follow Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) standards used across the US beverage industry. Minor manufacturing tolerances of ±0.003 inches may exist but are not noticeable by hand.
Not all Coke cans are the same. Each size has a specific purpose, a specific audience, and specific numbers that matter for production and packaging.
12 oz Standard Can Dimensions (The Standard)
It stands 4.83 inches (122 mm) tall and measures exactly 2.60 inches (66 mm) in diameter. The lid narrows to 2.13 inches (54 mm) — a necked-in design that saves aluminum and creates a tighter seal. It holds 355 milliliters and has a circumference of 8.15 inches (207 mm).
12 oz Slim Can — Taller, Slimmer Profile
It measures 6.57 inches (167 mm) tall with a narrower 2.28-inch (58 mm) diameter — over an inch and a half taller than the standard version but holding the same 355 ml volume. Its circumference drops to 7.17 inches (182 mm).
7.5 oz Mini Can Dimensions
It stands 3.82 inches (97 mm) tall — about as tall as a standard deck of playing cards — with a 2.09-inch (53 mm) diameter. It holds 222 milliliters and carries approximately 90 to 93 calories.
16 oz Tallboy Can Dimensions
It stands 6.62 inches (168 mm) tall with the same 2.60-inch diameter as the standard 12 oz — keeping it fully compatible with existing vending machines, cup holders, and production lines. It holds 473 milliliters and carries approximately 190 calories.
24 oz King Can Dimensions
At 7.40 inches (188 mm) tall with a 2.60-inch diameter, the king can holds 710 milliliters — double the volume of a standard 12 oz can. It carries approximately 280 calories.
The US beverage can industry uses an end size code system for lid specs. The “202” end means a lid that fits a 2.125-inch opening — the standard on most 12 oz Coke cans. The “204” end is slightly wider and used on some specialty formats.
The body of a standard Coke can is 66 mm wide. The lid is only 54 mm — smaller because the top is necked in before the lid is attached. This necked-in design saves aluminum material and lowers production cost.

The diameter stays at 66 mm across all three regions — only the height changes based on volume. This keeps manufacturing equipment, aluminum can tooling, and vending machine slots compatible globally regardless of local volume preferences.
The US adopted 12 fluid ounces early in Coca-Cola’s mass-market history. Europe uses 330 ml because it rounds cleanly in metric measurements. Australia landed on375 ml based on local consumer habits and retailer preferences.
