Pringles pack sizes: 40g, 70g and 165g tubes comparedFind your favourite.
A case of twelve Pringles tubes can contain very different amounts of crisps. This guide compares three Salt & Vinegar formats sold by HRS: 12 × 40g, 12 × 70g and 6 × 165g. Keeping the flavour the same makes the difference in pack size easier to see.
These Salt & Vinegar cases keep the flavour constant while the tube weight and case count change. Switch between cost per tube and cost per 100g; prices come from the current case offers.
Salt & Vinegar 40g: £1.01 per tube. Salt & Vinegar 70g: £1.32 per tube. Salt & Vinegar 165g: £2.88 per tube
Unit costs are rounded to the nearest penny and exclude delivery. The bars above compare the contents’ net weight per tube on the same scale, not the container size. Check the selected case for the latest price and pack details.
Pringles tubes, cans and multipacks: read all three numbers
Treat the flavour, weight of one tube and number of tubes as separate choices. In “12 × 40g”, twelve is the tube count and 40g is the net weight of each tube. It is not a 12-piece count of crisps.
Pringles uses “can” on its UK website; HRS describes the pictured cylindrical packs here as tubes. A pack selector changes how many retail packs you buy. It does not turn a 40g tube into a 70g tube.
Compare 40g, 70g and 165g Pringles by total weight
The three cases contain 480g, 840g and 990g respectively: 12 × 40g = 480g; 12 × 70g = 840g; 6 × 165g = 990g. The six-tube case therefore contains more crisps by weight than either twelve-tube case.
For twelve separate tubes, one 40g case gives 480g and one 70g case gives 840g. Two cases of six 165g tubes give twelve tubes and 1,980g. These are pack calculations, not suggested portions or a claim about how many people a tube serves.
Cost per tube and cost per 100g answer different questions
Cost per tube is the case price divided by its tube count. Cost per 100g is the case price divided by the total grams, then multiplied by 100. Use the first when the number of separate packs matters, and the second when comparing the amount of crisps for the price.
The comparison uses the current prices of these exact cases and excludes delivery charges. A larger tube or case is not automatically the cheapest choice by weight. Check the displayed calculation again when prices change.
Are small Pringles tubes the same as Pringles Minis?
No. The UK Pringles range lists its 40g and 70g on-the-go formats alongside a separately named Minis range. Minis is described as a bite-sized format, and it also includes 40g products. A 40g weight alone therefore does not identify which range you are buying.
The three examples here are Salt & Vinegar tube listings, not listings named Pringles Minis. Match the complete product name and photo before comparing prices.
Choose the flavour separately from the pack size
The UK manufacturer lists flavours such as Original, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion and Texas BBQ Sauce. Its range and HRS availability are separate: a flavour on the manufacturer website is not a promise that HRS stocks every size.
Use the Pringles shopping collection for the current HRS flavour selection and smaller-pack options. For ingredients, allergens and dietary requirements, check the exact flavour and current physical pack; this size comparison does not establish that different flavours or batches share a recipe.
It depends on the exact listing. These Salt & Vinegar examples are twelve 40g tubes, twelve 70g tubes or six 165g tubes. Read the case count as well as the weight.
Which Pringles case contains the most crisps?
Of these three examples, the 6 × 165g case contains the most by net weight: 990g, compared with 840g for 12 × 70g and 480g for 12 × 40g. This does not establish which has the most individual crisps.
Are 40g Pringles always Pringles Minis?
No. Pringles UK lists both 40g on-the-go products and separately named Minis 40g products. Look for the full range name, not just the weight.
Is a bigger Pringles tube better value?
Compare the current cost per 100g rather than assuming it is. If you need a certain number of separate packs, compare the tube count and cost per tube too. Delivery can affect the final order total.
Does this guide cover every Pringles can size?
No. It compares three exact HRS Salt & Vinegar tube offers. Manufacturer ranges and pack sizes can change, so other flavours, markets or listings may have different weights.
