Launch console

Plan the cone program before artwork.

Private Label Cones need a development brief that explains intended format, airflow expectations, materials, packaging, market responsibilities, and sample-review priorities.

Format

Cone family

Define size, fill direction, tip approach, and whether the request belongs to a tobacco cone, paper cone, or future specialty format.

Cone overview
Draw

Airflow criteria

Document how the cone should load, draw, burn, and hold structure before the program moves into sample testing.

Airflow guide
Inputs

Material direction

Separate tobacco, paper, filter, and tip preferences from market-dependent claims or label requirements.

Material guide
Packout

Packaging system

Clarify unit count, pouch or carton direction, freshness expectations, case flow, and retail presentation needs.

Packaging guide

Airflow test track

Keep the performance questions visible.

Cone planning should identify the desired user experience without turning early design notes into finished product claims. ONTCSA reviews practical production criteria first.

  • Draw resistance and fill behavior.
  • Shape, seam, tip, and handling expectations.
  • Burn consistency review during sample rounds.
Test pointAir path

Confirm the intended airflow profile before packaging art drives the conversation.

Test pointStructure

Review cone body, mouthpiece, packing tolerance, and transport expectations.

Test pointSample round

Compare sample feedback against the original brief so revisions stay measurable.

2026 readiness

Private Label Cones remain a controlled roadmap.
