Packaging Materials Used in Cigarette Boxes: A Detailed Look

People with cigarettes in their hands have their own aura. The packaging of these cigarettes makes them more lavish. The Custom Boxes are always here to establish brand identity and fulfil legal demands.  From shiny silver boxes to plain packs, the materials used remain essential for cigarettes. These factors also decide how to store and sell cigarettes. 

This article is going to uncover the secrets of the packaging materials used in cigarettes. 

The Main Material; Cardboard

Cardboard is a widely and commonly used material. The Custom Boxes shaped these paperboards into different dimensions as per the requirement. To shape them is easy as they are lightweight yet durable. 

Printing on cardboard is very easy. Brands can print their logos on them. This gives an additional dignity to your products.

Paper and Foil Linings

The Custom Boxes designed custom cigarette boxes with paper and foil. They are like inner layers. 

Importance Of the Inner Layer

This inner layer is vital for several reasons;

  • Preserve odour, this layer keeps the odour of cigarettes intact.
  • This layer keeps cigarettes fresh and prevents them from drying out.
  • The inner layer makes your boxes presentable.

Cellophane Wrapping

The outer layer of the cigarette custom boxes is made of cellophane. It's very important, as it,

  • Protects the cigarettes from water.  This also protects from dust particles. 
  • It blocks the passage of light rays. This  helps to keep the same flavour. 

Printing Inks and Finishes

For brands, the selection of printing inks is vital. The Custom Boxes follow the rules for printing on cigarette boxes. They use simple colours. They use standard fonts. They also add health warnings. They use high-quality ink. They do not use decorative touches. 

Metal and Wooden Cigarette Cases

The Custom Boxes made cigarette boxes with steel, silver or wood. They are luxurious boxes. They can be used as a gift. Their beauty is that they are reused again and again. 

Embossing, Foil Stamping, and Finishes

Custom box cigarettes packaging has a premium look. 

  • Foil stamping is used on the silver cigarette boxes.
  • Foil stamping is meant for shiny surfaces.
  • Our embossing techniques give a beautiful texture to cigarette boxes.

Changes in Cigarette Packaging Regulations

Now a days some countries have some of the strictest rules on cigarette packaging in the world. Since 2016, all cigarette boxes must be plain, following standardised designs, so custom boxes must follow such rules. This means:

  • No logos, colours, or promotional designs.
  • A standard olive-green colour for all packs.
  • Large graphic health warnings cover most of the box.
  • Standardised cigarette box dimensions.

The Custom Boxes follow such rules. We use the same material for packaging.

Sustainability and Earth Issues

In recent packaging sustainability counts first. The Custom Boxes use eco-friendly packaging material to elevate the brand's perception. 

Use Of Custom Cigarette Boxes 

Custom cigarette boxes are used again and again. This recycling is easy as they are made from cardboard boxes.

Cardboard boxes can be recycled, but the foil and plastic wrapping are harder to process.
