Why Cigarette Box Dimensions Matter

Cigarette box dimensions are not arbitrary. They are the result of decades of industry evolution, balancing consumer habits, manufacturing efficiency, and retail display requirements.

From a functional perspective, correct dimensions ensure cigarettes fit securely without bending or damage. From a branding standpoint, box size influences how the product feels in hand, how it appears on shelves, and how much space is available for logos, colors, and finishes.

Additionally, packaging dimensions affect:

• Printing layout and warning label placement
• Production tooling and die-cut accuracy
• Shipping efficiency and carton optimization
• Compliance with regional packaging regulations

At DHPBoxes, dimensional accuracy is treated as a core quality standard, ensuring every cigarette box is engineered for real-world production and market use.

Standard Cigarette Box Dimensions

The most widely recognized cigarette packaging format is the standard or king-size cigarette box. This format typically holds 20 cigarettes and is used across many global markets.

Common external dimensions:

• Length: approximately 85 mm
• Width: approximately 57 mm
• Depth: approximately 22 mm

This size has become an industry benchmark due to its portability, shelf compatibility, and cost efficiency. It provides sufficient space for branding while remaining compact enough for everyday use.

Standard cigarette boxes are compatible with multiple structures, including flip-top boxes, soft packs, and premium rigid paperboard packaging.

100’s Cigarette Box Sizes

100’s cigarette boxes are designed to accommodate longer cigarette sticks while maintaining a similar width and depth to standard packs. This format is often associated with premium branding and export-focused markets.

Typical 100’s cigarette box dimensions:

• Length: approximately 99–101 mm
• Width: approximately 55–58 mm
• Depth: approximately 20–22 mm

The elongated shape creates a refined visual identity and allows brands to differentiate their product line without changing the overall packaging structure.

DHPBoxes supports both folding carton and rigid box constructions for 100’s cigarette packaging, ensuring strength, consistency, and print precision.

Slim & Super Slim Cigarette Boxes

Slim and super slim cigarette boxes are increasingly popular among consumers who prefer a modern, minimalist aesthetic. These packs typically hold the same number of cigarettes but with a narrower profile.

Common slim box dimensions:

• Length: approximately 85–90 mm
• Width: approximately 40–45 mm
• Depth: approximately 18–20 mm

Super slim cigarette boxes are even narrower and lighter, requiring precise structural engineering to prevent deformation.

Because of their reduced width, slim cigarette boxes demand higher-quality materials and accurate die-cutting. At DHPBoxes, reinforced paperboard and optimized folding structures ensure slim packs remain durable throughout their lifecycle.

Long & 200’s Cigarette Packaging

Long and 200’s cigarette boxes are designed for specialty cigarette lengths or bundled products. These formats are less common but are often used for collector editions or duty-free markets.

Approximate dimensions:

• Length: 180–200 mm
• Width: 55–60 mm
• Depth: 20–25 mm

Due to their extended length, these boxes typically require reinforced edges and thicker paperboard to ensure structural stability during shipping and display.

Mini Cigarette Packs

Mini cigarette packs usually contain 5 or 10 cigarettes and are often used for promotional purposes, trial packs, or markets with specific regulatory requirements.

Common mini pack sizes:

• 10-stick pack: approximately 89 × 43 × 18 mm
• 5-stick pack: approximately 89 × 41 × 11 mm

Despite their smaller size, mini packs still require careful design to ensure readability of branding and compliance information.

DHPBoxes assists brands in optimizing layout and print clarity even on compact cigarette packaging formats.

Cigarette Carton Box Dimensions

Cigarette cartons are outer packaging units that typically contain multiple retail packs, most commonly ten. These cartons are essential for logistics, warehousing, and wholesale distribution.

Typical carton box dimensions:

• Length: 210–230 mm
• Width: 160–180 mm
• Height: 50–60 mm

Carton packaging must be strong enough to protect inner packs while remaining stackable and space-efficient.
