The only advertising space remaining for tobacco brands is their packaging. Your cigarette boxes are the unsung salesperson on every shelf with no marketing channels to sell them. CDC statistics indicate that about 11% of American adults continue to smoke which represents billions of pack sales yearly. All of those packs must be resistant to shock from shipping, resist humidity and be distinct at the counter in the face of dozens of other competing brands.
A flimsy box erodes product trust prior to the customer opening it. A good box, a box that’s branded and well-constructed does exactly the opposite. It will tell you that it’s good before you even light up your first cigarette.
The materials you select determine the durability of your pack on the journey from the producer to the consumer. We have 3 options that have proven to be effective:
Cardstock is light, economical and produces clear graphics. It is ideal for high volume brands requiring consistent quality and not forcing a higher unit cost.
Kraft paper is made from wood pulp and will decompose when thrown away. A sustainable choice for eco conscious brands as today’s smokers prefer a packaging that is more environmentally friendly and better for their health than plastic heavy options.
For high quality lines, rigid stock provides additional rigidity. In order to maintain a luxury positioning, high-end brands tend to use fixed custom printed cigarette boxes.
Pack format has an impact on protection and shelf presence. Flip-top boxes are the most popular types because the lid is easily accessible with one hand and secures the cigarettes. Slide and Shell boxes lend a more stylish, refined appearance. A soft-pack design will be cheaper to make but will provide less crush protection when being transported.
Custom Cigarette Boxes should be made to fit your line of cigarettes not a generic size that is extended to fit the cigarette you sell.
Packaging has been found to affect more than 60% of impulse buying decisions at the checkout counter in a number of retail studies. For tobacco brands in particular, this is the case as digital and TV advertising is prohibited in most countries, with the pack being the whole marketing campaign. A unique branding or embossed logo and/or foil accent on your Cigarette Packaging Boxes affords your loyal customers an immediate reminder of your brand even from a distance across a busy shelf.
It is important to note that not all suppliers conduct themselves in accordance with tobacco grade compliance. Seek someone that:
If a supplier verifies all of the five points, then you won’t have to deal with expensive reprints or compliance hassles in the future.
Normally, it takes four to six business days after the approval of your designs for standard production for your custom tobacco packaging. Brands who have a tight time frame on a launch will have the option for rush printing, but please do get your proof first so you don’t miss out on any last minute printing mistakes. Production Without Design Charges means you can make final changes to your Cigarette Boxes Wholesale as your brand would like them to be.
