Format system
Packaging decisions need their own map.
Private-label packaging should separate the sales unit, artwork requirements, case flow, label responsibility, and launch presentation instead of treating packaging as a final decoration.
Bands and Boxes
Connect cigar Bands, box marks, labels, barcode space, retail sleeves, bundles, and brand family hierarchy before approval.
Display and case packs
Plan Display trays, cartons, master cases, shipping labels, and warehouse handling notes so the brand moves cleanly.
Artwork file room
Artwork must match the package reality.
Brand files, label panels, warning space, barcode placement, carton marks, and product language need to be aligned with the actual packaging format before sample or quote work advances.

Case-pack lanes
Retail packaging still has to ship.
Case-pack planning connects retail unit count, master cartons, display trays, export labels, storage expectations, and receiving notes with the buyer’s commercial handoff.
Retail unit
Set pouch, box, bundle, band, or display count before carton logic is approved.
Carton marks
Prepare case labels, master-case marks, carton counts, and warehouse handling notes.
Dispatch handoff
Connect warehouse timing, export handoff, receiving notes, and reorder-ready pack references.
Release proof board
Packaging release needs proof points.
ONTCSA controls the tobacco manufacturing record, while iPrint controls packaging versions, label systems, carton marks, and branded item production so release materials stay assigned to the right provider.

Provider roles
