Packaging Requirements
Packaging specs, ready for production.
Prepare Mylar, bands, boxes, labels, case packs, freshness targets, and buyer-side review before ONTCSA schedules finished tobacco production.
01Artwork files
Dimensions, print direction, proofs, barcodes, and label panels.
02Unit format
Mylar, bands, boxes, display units, cartons, and case packs.
03Market review
Buyer confirms warnings, claims, registration, and destination rules.
Specification docket
Lock packaging before factory release.
Packaging affects production timing, quality checks, shipping documents, retail presentation, and reorder consistency. ONTCSA reviews practical fit before a run is released.
Mylar and pouch setup
Confirm size, film direction, zipper or seal preference, count, moisture protection, and finished pack behavior.
Bands, bundles, and boxes
Prepare band art, box count, bundle wrap, tray or insert notes, UPC placement, and proof approvals.
Cartons and shipping packs
Define inner packs, master cases, carton marks, lot references, destination notes, and handling expectations.
Labels and market-dependent warnings
Buyer is responsible for label responsibility, warning text, claims, taxes, registration, and qualified market review.
Artwork file room
Files should arrive production-ready.
Clear packaging files reduce back-and-forth. Provide editable artwork, dielines, color references, barcode placement, label panels, proof history, and approval contacts.
- Print direction: inside/outside orientation, folds, seals, and panel hierarchy.
- Proofing: final buyer approval before packaging moves into the production schedule.
- Claims: market-dependent language reviewed by the buyer and qualified advisors.
Case-pack lanes
Packaging must survive handling.
ONTCSA aligns finished presentation with realistic packing, storage, shipment, and reorder needs.
Single pack details
Unit count, freshness, label placement, aroma protection, and display-readiness.
Bundling and grouping
How finished units are grouped for quality checks, warehouse handling, and count verification.
Cartons and marks
Case quantity, carton labels, lot references, destination notes, and packing document alignment.
Market and label board
Buyer review stays connected to packaging.
Warning language, registration needs, tax stamps, barcode rules, recycling statements, and claims are market-dependent. ONTCSA can organize production requirements, but buyers must confirm legal and market obligations.
Commercial packet
Send a complete packaging brief.
