Cigarette Labels and Cigar Security Labels for Brand Owners and Print Buyers

Home / Cigarette Labels & Cigar Security Labels

What Our Cigarette Labels Cover

Cigarette labels in this product line are built for two jobs at once: carrying the visible duty and brand marking the pack requires, and giving the brand a feature that is difficult to copy. Typical constructions include printed tax stamp labels applied over the pack closure, and fluorescent intermittent two-color fiber yarn labels for tobacco and wine applications, where the embedded fibers are visible under UV and act as a first-line authenticity check.

Because the label usually crosses the pack seam, adhesive behavior matters as much as the printing. We select face stock, adhesive, and release liner to suit the application surface and the expected handling, then run 100% factory inspection before packing.

Cigar Security Labels and Ring Labels

Cigar packaging calls for a different balance. A cigar security label is often a closure seal that must sit flat on a box or tube without curling, while the cigar ring label is a smaller, decorative band whose print quality is judged at close range. We produce both, and they are frequently ordered together so that the band and the seal share a consistent color reference and finish.

For authentication, the same 60+ anti-counterfeiting technologies available across our plant can be combined on one label — for example, a UV-visible fiber yarn in the paper plus a serialized number, or a tamper-evident cut pattern that breaks on removal. The right combination depends on how the label will be inspected at the point of sale and how much education the sales staff can absorb. We will advise against stacking features that no one in the field will actually check.

Specifications and Volume Pricing

The table below reflects our pricing for custom cigarette printing tax stamp labels and cigar security labels. Prices are per piece and depend on volume; other constructions, sizes, and feature combinations are quoted individually.

Volume	Price
10,000 – 49,999 pieces	US$0.30 per piece
50,000 – 99,999 pieces	US$0.20 per piece
100,000+ pieces	US$0.15 per piece

Samples are US$1 per piece. Sizes are custom, and delivery is within 15 workdays. Pricing for tobacco security labels outside these tiers, including cigar ring labels and multi-feature tax stamps, is quoted on receipt of artwork and specification. Buyers who need a standalone closure seal rather than a printed tax stamp should start from our tax stamp labels range, which shares the same press and inspection line.

Factory, Audit, and Quality Control

The plant occupies 1,500 m2 and employs 60 to 100 people, with monthly capacity of 510,000 to 1,000,000 labels depending on construction and feature count. The company has been audited by TÜV Rheinland (report MIC-ASR262171), and cigarette labels are listed among the main products in that audited profile. If your procurement process requires a third-party audit report or a factory questionnaire completed before sampling, tell us at first contact so the documents can be issued alongside the quotation.

Quality control is straightforward: 100% factory inspection on finished labels, with defects pulled before packing rather than sampled after. For serialized and tax stamp work, inspection covers the finished labels before packing.

How to Order Cigarette Labels From Us

Send the artwork or a physical reference sample, the pack or box surface the label will be applied to, the market's marking requirements, and the annual or per-release quantity. We will confirm the construction, quote against the volume tiers above, and produce a US$1 sample for your approval before the production run. Delivery is within 15 workdays. To start, request a quote with your specification, or use the contact page to arrange a sample shipment and a factory audit document pack. Our team in Shenzhen will respond with a written quotation and a proposed label construction for your review.

FAQ

What is the minimum order for custom cigarette labels?

The published pricing starts at 10,000 pieces, which is the practical entry point for a custom run with your own artwork. Below that, sampling at US$1 per piece is the usual way to evaluate construction and print quality. If you need a smaller trial before a full release, describe the quantity in your inquiry and we will confirm what is feasible.

Can the labels carry both a tax stamp print and a security feature?

Yes. The cigarette printing tax stamp label is designed as a single printed piece, so numbering, market-required text, and authentication features such as fluorescent two-color fiber yarn can be combined on one label. Feature selection should follow what inspectors and retail staff will actually check. We will recommend a combination rather than the longest list of options.

How long does production take after I approve the sample?

Delivery is within 15 workdays, with the schedule confirmed in writing on the quotation. For orders above 100,000 pieces or with several variable-data elements, confirm the schedule in writing with your quotation so the release dates in your market are covered.
