Traditions still play a large role within the cigar world. The art of making cigars by hand and the process of aging tobacco. The cigar business has a lot of tradition and a lot of heritage. But with packaging, it is apparent that innovation has a greater effect on cigar sales. A rigid wooden box that has been the standard for decades is being supplemented. It is often replaced by a flexible cigar pouch, a much more modern innovation.

Have you experienced these packaging problems?

Have you ever allowed cigars to dry out and become brittle, or have you lost the envelope of flavor from a cigar due to inferior packaging?

Have you had pouches that do not properly communicate what is on the inside? The quality of the cigar.

What Is A Cigar Pouch?

A cigar pouch is a packaging that is humidity-controlled or food-grade. It protects, displays, and preserves your cigars. There are many styles, shapes, materials, and closing mechanisms, depending on your needs.

The cigar pouch packaging protects against moisture changes, air, and anything. It is contaminated, and provides a clean and professional presentation.

If you are a cigar manufacturer, retailer, distributor, or show organizer, LabelPouches has a trusted and aesthetically pleasing cigar packaging solution. We provide quality, retail-ready, travel-ready and with custom designs.

Why Choose Cigar Pouches Over Wooden or Cardboard Boxes

Opting for a pouch instead of a box is not just an aesthetic choice, but more importantly. It is a basic business decision with implications for your potential market, your cost structure, and your brand flexibility.

For ultra-premium collectible options, wooden boxes are likely going to be around forever, but they are expensive. Cigar pouch packaging is a highly flexible and valid option for your product range, and you can do it cost-effectively.

In the Cigar business, dealing with the manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, packaging is an invaluable customer touchpoint. It can affect everything from brand perception to operational efficiencies.

Cigar bags offer a number of benefits that are maladaptive for an industry that is evolving because of higher and higher levels of custom orders. Manufacturers and retailers both realize that cigar pouches are necessary for many reasons. These reasons are freshness, branding, and operational and product protection concerns.

We will address the major benefits below:

Maximum Freshness Protection

The primary purpose of packaging is to protect the contents. A cigar pouch is particularly effective at establishing that microclimate.

Barrier Improvements

Customized cigar pouch is constructed of multi-layer laminates of a metallized PET or foil with proprietary polymers. They are improved oxygen barrier attributes, as well as moisture vapor transmission (MVTR) barrier attributes.

The film used in packaging can sometimes exceed the passive protection provided by wooden boxes subjected to ambient humidity.

Humidification Incorporated

A great many pouches are designed to allow the use of a pack or otherwise humidification style interface with a sealed pocket. Pouches also function like a self-humidifier.

Once a pouch's cigars are secured inside, they are perfectly set to smoke. They can help mitigate complaints. They can also maintain the original integrity of products from the manufacturer's perspective.

High-impact Graphics

The full surface of a pouch provides unlimited print space. They can have high-fidelity rotogravure printing. This pouch packaging can use any color and features impressive typography.

Pouches can have tactile effects like soft-touch lamination, embossing, or spot UV coatings. These properties turn a pouch into an inevitably engaging, luxe experience.

Design Versatility

Whether your brand identity is modern and minimal or decorative and classic, the pouch format can be fulfilled.

There is enough design flexibility and functionality to ensure your packaging suggests as luxurious a quality as the cigar inside.

Tear and Puncture Resistance

Made from rugged, flexible films, pouches are exceptionally strong and damage-resistant during transit.

They divert the force of impact, rather than cracking or splintering, to minimize product loss and waste.

Storage Capabilities For Longer Timeframes

The high-barrier properties not only allow many products to stay fresher for longer, but also protect from elemental factors such as light and odors.

This allows for a short-term retail shelf life, as well as an additional long-term warehouse shelf life.

The Right Format For Today’s Use

Pouches are the ideal format to reflect trends in the marketplace:

1. Single Stick Purchase

Great low-cost, high-margin entry point opening to new customers.

2. Travel & Convenience

3. Sampler Packs & Subscription

Ability to mix and match cigars into packs for a patron or themed sample packs for a monthly club.

4. Promotional Item

The Foundation: Health Warnings and Labels

This is possibly the most consequential and non-negotiable aspect of compliance. You need to evaluate your packaging supplier's expertise and the means used to make this information durable.

United States (FDA &TTB)

1. FDA & FTC Warning Statements: Both FDA & FTC require specific warning statements (subject to change over time). They take up at least 30% of the top half of the front and back facing panel, using specific wording and formatting, as defined.

2. TTB Permit Number: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau's (TTB) expectation is that the package contains the permit number of either the manufacturer or importer.

European Union (EU Tobacco Products Directive: TPD)

1. Combined Health Warnings: The EU TPD states that a combined text and picture health warning must take up 65% of the front and back of the package. This is a much larger percentage of space than the US requires.

2. Traceability & Security Features: Every unit packet must have a unique ID (data matrix code) and tamper evident security feature.

3. Other Key Markets: The UK (post Brexit), Canada, Brazil, and Australia all have various specific, and in some cases detailed warning requirements that relate to size, language, and imagery.
