Flip-top and shoulder-style cigarette packs folded from stiff paperboard, sized to your king, 100s or slim sticks. We print your brand on every panel, finish it matte, gloss or foil, and can make the outer cartons too (ten packs each) for wholesale.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
A cigarette pack lives in a pocket. It gets sat on, squished in a jacket, flipped open and shut maybe twenty times in a couple of days, so Cardboard Cigarette Boxes need to be stiff enough that the sticks don’t bend and the lid still snaps back properly on day four. Board too thin? Corners crumple by lunchtime. Too thick and the lid kind of fights you.
Who buys them from us is a mixed bunch, honestly: small tobacco brands, herbal cigarette makers, clove and hand-rolled sellers, and a few event and novelty companies that just like the classic pack shape for candy, matches or promo bits.
Everybody knows the flip-top. Inside the opening there’s a little inner frame (we call it the collar) that the lid catches on, and that’s the reason a decent pack clicks shut instead of flopping open in your pocket. We fold ours from SBS paperboard that feels pretty rigid and creases cleanly along the hinge.
Soft-cup exists too. Most small brands still go flip-top though, because the tips stay safer and it just looks more finished on a counter. Loose leaf, rolling papers, cigarillos? We’d lean toward a slide or shoulder box there instead of a hinge lid.
Stick length runs the show.
A king-size pack of 20 tends to be about 3.4 x 2.2 x 0.9 inches, 100s need more height, slims want a narrower box, and packs of 10 come up a lot with herbal and specialty products (our write-up on how many cigarettes come in a pack has the usual counts if you’re unsure).
Please size from your real sticks, filter and any foil wrap included. A few millimeters too tight and people crush a stick pulling it out, a few too loose and the whole pack rattles. We’ll send you a sample to test-fill before the full run, which we’d really recommend.
It’s a small canvas, so simple and bold usually wins. Matte lamination looks modern and hides fingerprints (cigarette packs get handled a lot). Gloss is the classic look and colors come out a bit richer. Upgrades people pick most are gold or silver foil on the logo, or embossing on a crest, and sometimes a touch of spot UV on the name.
Warnings and required text? That depends on where you sell and what’s in the pack, so you or whoever handles your regulatory side gives us the wording and we set it at the right size so it reads clearly without wrecking the design. Artwork setup is free, we check files before print, and inks are soy or water based.
Stores mostly get packs in an outer carton of ten. That carton gets printed as well, usually with a simpler version of the same artwork, and our cigarette carton dimensions guide shows how the packs sit inside. Selling lighters at the counter too? Our lighter boxes can match. Want them unprinted? Look at the blank cigarette boxes.
Orders often start around 50 boxes depending on the style, and the price per box drops the more you order. You approve a digital proof, we take 10 to 12 business days to produce, and ground shipping anywhere in the USA is free. Other styles are in the full cigarette packaging boxes range.
No, we make the box and the inner frame. Most brands wrap the sticks in their own foil or paper while packing.
Yep. It’s basically a shorter or slimmer take on the standard dieline, sized to your count and stick length.
Sure, people do it all the time with candy sticks, matches and wedding or event favors. We just size it to what goes inside.
Plenty of customers order this alongside lighter boxes and custom blank cigarette boxes. More styles are in cigarette packaging boxes.
