Custom Vape Packaging
Vape packaging carries more mandatory requirements than almost anything else we make, and most of them are about the closure rather than the print. Child resistance, tamper evidence and warning size are set by the market you sell into, not by preference.

Establish the requirement before the design
Child-resistant and tamper-evident requirements differ between markets, and so do warning text, its share of the pack face, and what may appear alongside it. A pack designed for one market frequently cannot be sold in another without a reprint.
Tell us the markets and the requirement as your regulator states it. We reserve and build to it; establishing what applies to your product is yours and your compliance adviser's, not ours.
Where markets differ enough, separate artwork versions are usually cheaper than one pack compromised to satisfy all of them.
Child-resistant construction, in board and in film
Child resistance and tamper evidence are different requirements solved by different features, and satisfying one does not satisfy the other. Plenty of packs get specified as though they are the same thing.
| CR carton | A locking mechanism the carton itself provides; no separate component |
|---|---|
| CR pouch | Interlocking zipper needing two actions; used for solids and pods |
| CR closure on the bottle | A component you buy; the carton then only has to hold it |
| Tamper evidence | Separate from child resistance — glued flaps, seals or shrink |
E-liquid is a bottle problem
A 10 ml bottle with a child-resistant cap is taller and wider than the bottle alone, and the cap is the widest point. A carton sized to the bottle will not close over the assembled unit — the same mistake that recurs across our essential oil carton notes.
Send an assembled bottle with its cap and any nozzle fitted. That, plus the leaflet if there is one, is what the carton is built around.
Devices are electronics in a regulated pack
- A device has a battery, which brings its own transport and marking requirements.
- It needs a cradle so contacts and coils are not damaged in transit.
- Accessories and cables belong on a separate layer, not loose against the device.
- The compliance panel is longer than for a liquid, and it still has to fit.
What is left for the brand
After the warning panel, the compliance marks, the batch and volume, and whatever the market restricts about imagery, the space genuinely available for design is often a single face.
That is a real constraint and it favors restraint — one strong mark, good stock, a proper finish. Trying to fit a full brand story into what remains is how these packs end up illegible.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about vape packaging? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
Will you tell me what my pack legally needs?
No — that comes from your market's regulator and your compliance adviser. Tell us the requirement and we build to it.
Is a tamper-evident pack also child-resistant?
No. They are different requirements met by different features, and satisfying one does not satisfy the other.
Can one pack serve several markets?
Often not. Warning rules differ enough that separate artwork versions usually cost less than one compromised pack.
What size carton for a 10 ml bottle?
It depends on the cap and nozzle, not the bottle. Send an assembled unit.
What is the minimum order for vape and e-liquid packaging?
100 units, child-resistant cartons or pouches. Where warning rules differ between markets, separate artwork versions are usually cheaper than one compromised pack.
Do device boxes need antistatic packaging?
Often for the accessories with bare connectors, and always a cradle so contacts and coils are not damaged in transit.
Which vape packaging builds do you make?
Child-resistant cartons, CR pouches, device boxes and sleeves, with grayboard-wrapped builds for device presentation.
How do I fit a vape device and its accessories in one box?
Cradle the device so contacts and coils are protected, and put accessories and cables on a separate layer rather than loose against it.
How much space is left for branding on a vape pack?
Often a single face, once the warning panel, compliance marks, batch and volume are placed. One strong mark, good stock and a proper finish work best.
What board is used for vape cartons?
16–24pt folding board, with wrapped grayboard for device presentation builds.
