Custom E Cigarette Boxes & E Cigarette Packaging
Vape is a category with more rules printed on the carton than almost anything else we produce. Warning panels, nicotine strength, batch codes, child safety language, and it all has to sit alongside a design that still looks good in a shop. Balancing those two things is most of the job. We print a lot of e cigarette packaging at ZEE Packaging and this is how we approach it.
Compliance Takes The Front Seat
Before design, before finish, we map the mandatory content onto the dieline. It saves a reprint later.
- Nicotine warning panel, sized to your market requirement
- Nicotine strength in mg and percentage
- E liquid volume in ml
- Ingredient list and batch or lot code area
- Age restriction statement on the e cigarette box
- Manufacturer name and address
- Barcode with proper quiet zone
Rules differ by region and they change, so send us your final approved copy and we lay it out. We print what you supply, we dont write regulatory wording.

Sizes We Run Regular
Every e cigarette box is built to your product, but these come up constantly:
- 1" x 1" x 4" for a slim disposable
- 1.5" x 1.5" x 4.5" for a standard disposable e cigarette box
- 2" x 2" x 3" for pod refill packs
- 4" x 3" x 1.5" for a pen style kit
- 6" x 4" x 2" for a full device kit with charger
- 5" x 4" x 3" for multipack electronic cigarette boxes
Send the device or bottle dimensions and we build the dieline around it.
Board Selection
- SBS C1S for clean printed e cigarette packaging with heavy ink
- Cardstock 16pt to 22pt for standard cartons
- Rigid greyboard 36pt for device kits
- Kraft board for natural and CBD adjacent ranges
- Corrugated E flute when the e cigarette box ships alone
Small cartons with big warning panels need decent board or the flaps crease badly. 18pt is our usual starting point.
Finishing
- Matte or gloss lamination
- Soft touch on premium electronic cigarette boxes
- Spot UV over the logo or flavor name
- Foil stamping, works well on disposable ranges
- Emboss or deboss for texture
- Holographic foil, popular for anti counterfeit
Serial numbers and scratch panels can also be added if you run authentication on your e cigarette packaging.
Greener Options
- Recycled kraft e cigarette box with no film
- FSC certified board, certificate on request
- Soy based ink
- Paperboard insert instead of plastic tray
- Right sized carton so you ship less air

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you write the warning copy for us?
No. We lay out and print exactly what you supply. Regulations vary by market and change often, so the approved wording has to come from your side.
Which style gives tamper evidence?
Seal end carton is the simplest, since the glued flap has to tear. A tear strip or shrink band on a tuck end works too.
Can you add anti counterfeit features?
Yes, holographic foil, scratch off panels and serialized QRs are all things we run on e cigarette packaging.
How small can the warning text go?
Depends on your market rules, but 6pt is our practical floor for clean print. We check legibility at proof stage.
Do you do multipack cartons for disposables?
We do, five and ten packs mostly. We build divided inserts so each unit sits separate and nothing knocks about.
Can you print inside the sleeve?
Yes. Inside print costs little and it works nicely for flavor stories or usage instructions.
What is the price for an electronic cigarette box?
Rough estimate is $0.25 to $0.80 per unit for folding cartons, $0.90 to $2.20 for mailers and $2.10 to $5.00 for rigid kit boxes at moderate quantity. Foil, holographic and inserts push it higher. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
