Custom Tobacco Packaging: Durable, Branded, and Compliant
Tobacco packaging demands durability, moisture resistance, and compliance with federal health warning requirements. Whether you produce cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, or smokeless products, Teal Packaging creates custom tobacco boxes that protect your product, meet regulatory standards, and present your brand professionally.
Tobacco Box Styles
- Flip-Top Boxes: The classic cigarette pack design with a hinged lid. Built from 350gsm to 450gsm paperboard with foil-lined interiors.
- Slide-Out Boxes: Inner tray slides out of an outer sleeve. Used for premium cigarette and cigar brands.
- Cigar Boxes: Rigid construction for cigar storage. Cedar lining available for humidity control.
- Tin and Metal Packaging: See our tin boxes for metal tobacco packaging.
- Pouch Packaging: Flexible pouches for pipe tobacco, rolling tobacco, and chewing tobacco.
Compliance
US tobacco packaging must include FDA-mandated health warnings covering at least 30% of the front and back panels (50% for cigarettes under proposed rules). We ensure proper placement, sizing, and formatting of all required warnings and text.
Materials
400gsm+ SBS with moisture-resistant coating. Foil-lined interiors for freshness. Cellophane overwrap available for retail shelf life. Tear strips for easy opening. All materials are durable enough to withstand pocket carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you print health warnings on the packaging?
Yes. We format and print all FDA-required health warnings to exact specification, including text size, placement, and rotation requirements.
Are tobacco boxes moisture-resistant?
Yes. Interior foil lining and moisture-resistant coatings keep tobacco fresh. External coating prevents damage from handling.
What is the minimum order?
100 boxes. Free US shipping. 7 to 14 business days production.
