A nano-cache is an extremely small micro-cache. According to the "What does a geocache look like?" section of Groundspeak's Geocaching Guide, a nano-cache is "a common sub-type of a micro cache that is less than 10ml and can only hold a small logsheet." Examples include:
- blinkers
- smaller bison tubes
- pet ID capsules
- contact lens cases
- memory card cases
- breath strip containers
There is no separate cache size for nano-caches at Geocaching.com. Nano-caches are considered a "sub-type" of a micro-cache, and should be listed as micro-caches. Still, some cache owners list nano-caches as an unknown size, and explain the nature of the container in the cache description.
