Recently, a brand-new design of a hygienic slide-on-structure cigarette hard box came out in Shenzhen and has been filed with the State Intellectual Property Office for invention and utility model patents. This new cigarette pack adopts a unique slide-on structure in the cigarette case. When it is opened, it can expose 2/3 lengths of cigarettes, thus avoiding direct finger contact with the filter when taking the cigarettes, which is expected to fundamentally solve the hidden problems of hygiene in the filter cigarette consumption process.
According to Mr. Zhang Yiyong, the designer of the cigarette box, on the eve of the “World No Tobacco Day†in 2001, the Consumers Association of China had issued a Consumer Alert No. 6, stating that “smoking is one of the most important ways for illness to enter the mouthâ€. , And solemnly remind tobacco factory to reform the current cigarette packaging methods, to avoid the fingers of the consumer when the cigarette is drawn to the filter, leaving hidden health problems. Because most consumers are currently smoking and passing filter cigarettes, the fingers are usually in direct contact with the filter part of the cigarette. Few people can actively wash their hands before smoking, so the filter becomes a variety of bacteria, dirt and Vectors such as pathogens, cigarette smoking, cigarette delivery, and cigarette smoking in the process of communication have become a process of cross-infection of various infectious diseases. Relevant data show that about 40% of the various infectious diseases that smokers suffer from are related to smoking filter cigarettes. Therefore, it is very important to fundamentally solve the hygienic packaging method of filter cigarettes. In order to guarantee the convenience and hygiene requirements of smokers when they smoke, from the beginning of March 2002, he spent nearly three years, through a large number of experiments to complete the design of this new type of cigarette case, and in 2005 declared a national patent .
This hygienic cigarette is packed in double-row 18 packs, thinner, wider and easier to carry than traditional cigarette packs, and has a larger space for cigarette label design. Moreover, it is slippery on the structure and stylish, with convenient opening and closing. Similar to the popular slider phone nowadays, consumers often open it with one hand, and the slider designed on the box can also limit the sliding of the cigarette box. After the introduction of this kind of cigarette packaging, it has won the recognition of many people in the industry with its unique package shape and healthy packaging concept. It is believed that this is another important innovation since the cigarette packaging adopts clamshell packaging and is expected in the future. The high-end cigarette packaging market will have a broad space for development.
Mr. Zhang Yiyong also revealed that this new type of packaging box is applicable to ordinary white cards as well as various packaging materials such as laser cardboard. In order to ensure the quality of the packaging, its production and printing will be licensed to cigarette manufacturers with professional experience. The currently selected printer is Weicheng Industrial (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. In addition, they also had active contact with professional cigarette pack equipment suppliers in the industry, and had fully prepared for the mechanized packaging of this new type of packaged cigarette packs. It is expected that it will be put into mechanized scale production in the near future.
