Why Chattanooga Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Us for Vape & Smoking Packaging
Custom Vape and Smoking Packaging | FDA-Compliant Vape Boxes and Tobacco Product Packaging
Vape and smoking product packaging operates under one of the most rapidly evolving regulatory environments in consumer goods -- FDA's tobacco product authority, state-level vaping regulations, and PACT Act requirements for online vape sales all create compliance obligations that change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. Packaging for vape and tobacco products must be designed with regulatory compliance as the foundational requirement, with brand communication and visual design built within the constraints that compliance establishes.
FDA Tobacco Product Regulation for Vape Packaging
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) -- vape devices, e-cigarettes, and e-liquids -- are regulated as tobacco products under FDA's 2016 deeming rule. FDA tobacco product labeling requirements for ENDS include the required nicotine addiction warning statement that must appear on all packaging: WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. This warning must appear in black text on a white background, in at least 20% of the principal display panel area, in a conspicuous location, and in a font size no smaller than is proportionate to the warning area. State-level vaping regulations impose additional packaging requirements that vary by state.
Child-Resistant Packaging for Nicotine Products
The Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act (CNPPA) requires child-resistant packaging for liquid nicotine containers -- e-liquid bottles and pods containing liquid nicotine must be packaged in CR packaging meeting PPPA testing standards. For e-liquid brands, CR packaging is a federal legal requirement rather than an optional safety feature. State regulations may impose additional CR requirements beyond the federal CNPPA minimum for vaping products more broadly.
FDA Nicotine Warning Compliance on Vape Packaging
The FDA-required nicotine addiction warning statement is a mandatory packaging element for all ENDS products: WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. The warning must occupy at least 20% of the principal display panel, appear in black text on a white background, and be displayed in a conspicuous location in a proportionate font size. This warning requirement is not discretionary and packaging that does not comply with FDA warning requirements is subject to enforcement action. Our vape packaging dieline templates pre-position the nicotine warning box to FDA specifications, ensuring compliant warning placement before any design development begins.
PACT Act Compliance for Online Vape Sales Packaging
The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act was amended in 2021 to include vaping products and e-cigarettes, imposing requirements on sellers that ship vaping products through the mail including USPS shipping restrictions and state tax collection requirements. PACT Act compliance affects the shipping packaging and documentation required for direct-to-consumer vape sales through e-commerce channels. For vape brands with DTC e-commerce programs, PACT Act compliance requirements should be reviewed with legal counsel before establishing shipping programs.

Vape & Smoking Packaging in Chattanooga — FAQs
What nicotine warning is required on vape packaging?
FDA requires the following nicotine addiction warning statement on all ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery system) packaging: WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. The warning must occupy at least 20% of the principal display panel area, appear in black text on a white background, be conspicuously placed, and use a font size proportionate to the warning area.
Does e-liquid packaging require child-resistant packaging?
Yes. The Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act requires child-resistant packaging for liquid nicotine containers -- e-liquid bottles and pods containing liquid nicotine must meet PPPA CR testing standards. CR packaging must allow 80% of children under 5 to be unable to open the packaging within 5 minutes while 90% of adults over 50 can open it within 5 minutes. CR compliance is a federal legal requirement for liquid nicotine products.
What state-level vaping packaging regulations apply?
State-level vaping regulations vary significantly -- some states have enacted specific vaping packaging requirements beyond FDA federal standards including flavor prohibition labeling, additional warning statements, and child-resistant packaging requirements broader than federal CNPPA minimums. State compliance requirements should be reviewed for each state distribution market. We provide regulatory compliance guidance for vape packaging programs on a state-by-state basis.
Can vape packaging make health or cessation claims?
Vape product packaging cannot make modified risk claims (claims that the product is less harmful than cigarettes) without FDA MRTP authorization, which requires extensive scientific substantiation. Smoking cessation claims require FDA new drug application approval. Claims that vaping products are safe or safer than tobacco cigarettes without FDA MRTP authorization are prohibited and have attracted FDA enforcement action.
