Tobacco History

A legacy of leadership since 1954

In the early 1950s, we worked with one of the world’s most prominent tobacco companies to develop an innovation that would become the standard in cigarette packaging: the hinged-lid box. In the decades that have followed, we have continued investing in and developing innovations that have impacted and evolved tobacco packaging worldwide.

Today, because of our steadfast commitment to the tobacco industry, quality of our products and strength of our customer support, we serve as a leader in tobacco paperboard and tobacco packaging. This role allows us to counsel to our customers as a trusted partner who understands the rapid changes and challenges that impact tobacco products and the brands they serve.

And as more governments create or tighten restrictions on tobacco product advertising, we know the importance that our well-designed, compelling packaging brings to your brand, your consumers and your bottom line.
