Buy ZYN Nicotine Pouches in New Zealand

ZYN is New Zealand's most popular tobacco-free nicotine pouch brand, manufactured by Swedish Match AB in Sweden. With strengths from 1.5mg/pouch to 16.5mg/pouch across slim and mini formats, ZYN offers over 78 active varieties to suit every experience level – from first-time users to seasoned pouch enthusiasts. All ZYN products are 100% tobacco-free and legal to import into New Zealand for personal use under the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990.

With a 4.8 rating from over 5,000 verified global customers, ZYN consistently ranks as our top-selling brand in New Zealand. "Fast shipping to NZ and the real deal – same products I used to buy in Sweden", says Daniel R. from Auckland, a verified Snusdaddy customer.

Important: ZYN nicotine pouches contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance. These products are not recommended for non-nicotine users, people under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with cardiovascular conditions. Always use responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets.

What Makes ZYN Different – Ingredients and Technology

ZYN pouches contain no tobacco plant material whatsoever – not the leaf, stem, or any other part of the tobacco plant. Instead, each pouch is built from food-grade fillers (maltitol, microcrystalline cellulose, gum arabic), a pH adjuster (sodium carbonate), stabilisers, food-grade flavourings, and tobacco-plant-derived nicotine in the form of nicotine bitartrate. This formulation gives ZYN its characteristic clean, white appearance and low-drip feel compared to traditional snus.

ZYN Ice Technology Explained

Several ZYN varieties use what Swedish Match calls "ice cooling technology" – a secondary cooling compound added alongside the primary flavour. In practice, our team has found this creates a two-phase release: an immediate burst of sharp freshness as the pouch activates, followed by a sustained, milder cooling effect that lingers for the remainder of use. The key benefit over standard mint pouches is that the ice compound reduces the initial tingling or "bite" on the gum that some users experience with high-strength products, making stronger nicotine levels more comfortable to use for longer. This is particularly noticeable in the Blackcurrant Ice and Menthol Ice varieties, where the fruit or menthol profile comes through clearly rather than being overwhelmed by pure cooling.

New ZYN Ice Flavours Just Added

We've just expanded our ZYN range with several new ice-technology varieties, now available for delivery to all of New Zealand:

• ZYN Slim Blackcurrant Ice Extra Strong (11mg/pouch) – Bold black currant berry with dual-phase ice cooling. Our team found the fruit profile holds up well at extra-strong level – it doesn't disappear under the nicotine.
• ZYN Slim Blackcurrant Ice Super Strong (13.5mg/pouch) – Same blackcurrant ice profile at higher strength. Experienced users only.
• ZYN Slim Menthol Ice Extra Strong (11mg/pouch) – Classic menthol significantly intensified by ice crystals. Noticeably cooler and longer-lasting than the standard menthol range.
• ZYN Slim Menthol Ice Super Strong (13.5mg/pouch) – Menthol ice at super-strong level for high-tolerance users.
• ZYN Slim Menthol Ice Ultra Strong (16.5mg/pouch) – Maximum-strength menthol ice. One of the most intense cooling experiences in the ZYN range.
• ZYN Slim Cool Mint Ice Ultra Strong (16.5mg/pouch) – Sharp, piercing peppermint freshness with arctic-level cooling that our team found lasts up to 40 minutes. For very experienced users only.
• ZYN Slim Red Fruits Strong (9mg/pouch) – Mixed berry blend of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry at strong strength. A good entry point into the ZYN fruit range for experienced users.

ZYN Nicotine Strengths – Which Is Right for You?

Getting the right strength is the single most important decision for a satisfying ZYN experience. Too weak and you won't feel the effect; too strong and you'll feel dizzy. Here's how the tiers break down, with our team's notes on each:

Expert tip: If you smoked 10–20 cigarettes a day and are switching to pouches for the first time, start at 6mg/pouch. Give yourself a week before deciding whether to move up. Nicotine pouches release differently to cigarettes – slower and more sustained – so the effect at 6mg/pouch is often stronger than new users expect.

Top-Selling ZYN Products for New Zealand

ZYN Slim Formats – Staff Picks

Slim pouches are longer and thinner than mini, sitting along the gum line. Our team finds them most comfortable for extended sessions of 30–45 minutes – ideal after meals or during longer periods without a break.

• ZYN Slim Cool Mint Extra Strong (11mg/pouch) – Our best-selling ZYN in New Zealand. The Cool Mint variety delivers a sharp, piercing freshness that our team found lasts the full 40-minute session without fading. Substantial nicotine hit within 3 minutes. ⭐ Staff pick for experienced ex-smokers.
• ZYN Slim Apple Mint Strong (9.1mg/pouch) – A customer favourite for its balanced flavour: the apple softens the mint's sharpness, making it easier to use for longer than straight mint varieties. Our team recommends this as a first step up from 6mg/pouch.
• ZYN Slim Menthol Ice Extra Strong (11mg/pouch) – The ice technology here creates a noticeably cooler and longer-lasting sensation than ZYN's standard menthol range. Our team found it reduces the initial gum bite common at extra-strong levels.
• ZYN Slim Red Fruits Strong (9mg/pouch) – Mixed berry blend of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry at strong strength. Best option for Kiwis who find mint too intense. ⭐ Staff pick for fruit lovers.

ZYN Mini Formats – Staff Picks

Mini pouches are smaller and sit more discreetly under the lip, making them nearly invisible. Our team recommends mini for situations where subtlety is important: long meetings, public settings, or for users who find slim pouches uncomfortable. The trade-off is slightly shorter release duration – typically 20–30 minutes versus 30–45 for slim. Browse our full range of mini portion pouches.

• ZYN Mini Cool Mint (6mg/pouch) – The most popular ZYN mini in New Zealand. Clean, straightforward peppermint at regular strength. Our team found the flavour sharper and more consistent than competing mini products at this strength. ⭐ Staff pick for beginners.
• ZYN Mini Peach (3mg/pouch) – A nuanced peach profile at light strength, accessible for almost all users and ideal for social situations. Our team's top pick for Kiwis who want something fruity and subtle. ⭐ Staff pick for fruit enthusiasts.
• ZYN Mini Citrus (3mg/pouch) – Bright citrus at light strength. Popular with Kiwis who want something genuinely different from the mint category. Works well as a refreshing option throughout the day.

ZYN Nicotine Pouches NZ – FAQs

Is there a minimum order for ZYN?

No minimum order. You can buy a single can or stock up with 100 cans for maximum savings. Bulk discounts apply automatically at checkout when you reach the 10, 30, 60, or 100 can thresholds – no codes needed.

Can I cancel my ZYN order?

You can request a cancellation by contacting us quickly at [email protected] before your order is dispatched. Orders are dispatched within 1 business day, so get in touch as soon as possible. Once shipped, cancellation is no longer possible – but you can refuse delivery and we'll refund you on return.

What if my ZYN order arrives damaged?

Contact us at [email protected] with photos of the damage and your order number. We'll arrange a replacement or refund. We do not accept returns on opened products, but genuine damage or quality issues are always resolved.

How do I read the best-before date on ZYN cans?

ZYN uses the European date format: DD/MM/YYYY. So a can labelled "12/08/2026" expires on the 12th of August 2026 – not the 8th of December. This is a common point of confusion for customers accustomed to the American MM/DD format. When in doubt, the month is always the middle number. Unopened cans stored in a cool, dry place typically maintain full freshness for 12–18 months from production.

Are ZYN subscriptions available?

We don't currently offer a subscription service. The most cost-effective approach is to buy in bulk – 60 or 100 cans at a time gives you the best per-can price and means fewer orders. Many New Zealand customers stock up once every 2–3 months.

How do I choose between ZYN slim and mini?

The choice comes down to comfort and context. Slim for fuller feel and longer sessions – our team recommends slim after meals, during outdoor activities, or any situation where you want 30–45 minutes of sustained release. Mini for discretion and shorter sessions – better for long meetings, public transport, or users who find slim pouches bulky. A good approach: keep a slim variety at home and a mini variety in your bag for on-the-go use. Browse our full range of nicotine pouches to compare formats side by side.

What is the strongest ZYN available in New Zealand?

The strongest ZYN we ship to New Zealand is ZYN Slim Cool Mint Ice Ultra Strong at 16.5mg/pouch. ZYN Slim Menthol Ice Ultra Strong is also available at 16.5mg/pouch. These are only suitable for users with very high established nicotine tolerance. Browse our full ultra strong range for all options.

How long does ZYN delivery to New Zealand take?

UPS Express and UPS Saver typically deliver in 5–8 working days to New Zealand. PostNord standard takes 10–15 working days. All options include tracking – you'll receive your tracking number by email as soon as your order ships from our Swedish warehouse.
