Tobacco Products

Tobacco is a perishable and often expensive consumer product and requires packaging that delivers it to the consumer in the very best of condition. BT has been an integral part of this process since the 1950s.

The packaging of tobacco products calls for a careful balance between the protection of a sensitive and aromatic natural product and the presentation of brands striving for individual identity and appeal.

Aluminium foil has become the preferred barrier material, particularly for the inner liner of cigarette packets. This is because it combines the ability to retain the characteristic aroma peculiar to each blend and brand, within a unique quality of ‘feel’ and appearance which is light, robust and easy to re-seal. An aluminum foil/paper laminate also offers mechanical qualities not available in alternative materials.
