★ 1, texture: polypropylene film BOPP is generally used to delay the loss of moisture and organic additives in cigarettes.

Authentic cigarettes: transparent paper has high transparency, good surface gloss, smooth feel, crisp sound and machine scratches;

Fake cigarettes: Generally, transparent paper is poorly ground, and its transparency and smoothness are not enough. Pushing by hand is slow, and the package is loose and soft.

★2. Grinding and sealing at both ends

Authentic cigarettes: heat sealed with machine electric soldering iron, without glue, showing regular technological characteristics.

Fake cigarettes: The sealing techniques at both ends are inconsistent, and they are usually sealed by hand ironing or glue, with obvious manual marks.

★3. Overlapping direction of transparent paper

The transparent paper joints at both ends of the long box and the small box are in the same direction.

Second, pull the wire

★ 1, drawing printing

Authentic cigarettes: the color is firm, the font strokes are clear and complete, and the font spacing is even;

Fake cigarettes: sometimes the coloring is not firm, the font strokes are incomplete, and the font spacing is even.

★2. Pull the head

Authentic cigarettes: the tap has a small machine cut, the tap is regular and symmetrical, and the width is consistent (for example, the FK machine is in a semicircle of 1 1mm, and it is on the box side; GDX-2 is a semicircle of 10mm, which is on the back of the box; The thread end of Kangbasla is flush with the transparent paper seal and centered on the box side; B 1 The machine cable head is oval, at the transparent paper seal)

Fake cigarettes: Generally, the slider has a small cut, and sometimes the slider starts irregularly and the width is inconsistent.

Three. trademark

The trademark recognition of cigarettes should be based on the trademark printing characteristics of cigarettes themselves, from the aspects of pattern bronzing, luster, color, paper texture and so on.

Authentic cigarettes: the trademark surface is shiny, painted evenly, printed clearly, and the bronze color is bright and bright; Generally, there are traces of ink wiped by machines on trademarks.

Fake cigarettes: generally, bronzing is dull, the painting is uneven, the surface gloss is poor, and the printing font is blurred.

Fourth, glue and seal the box.

According to the different packaging equipment, there are one point, two points, three points and four points, which are not sticky (one point and four points usually appear in foreign cigarettes). If all the sticks are sealed, it is a fake cigarette.

Authentic cigarettes: the glue dot size is uniform and regular, and the glue dot spacing is equal.

Fake cigarettes: the glue sealing points are not uniform in size (irregular in shape), and the spacing between the glue sealing points is unequal. The glue used is inconsistent with the original product and there are obvious traces of artificial glue sealing.

Before unpacking, you can press it by hand to test whether the sealing points and the spacing between points are equal.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) recycling of old boxes

Transparent paper, trademarks, aluminum foil lining paper and other materials are authentic, and fake cigarettes are repackaged after cutting. At present, it is more common in high-grade cigarettes such as Zhonghua, Liqun and Dahongying. Most of their counterfeiting methods are to stick transparent paper at the junction of the front, bottom and one end of the box, cut the original transparent paper at one end of the box with the knife, and reseal the upper and lower ends of the transparent paper for small bags. Identification method: Observe whether the trademark is stained, whether the corners are seriously worn, whether there are traces of inconsistent processes such as secondary sealing and knife cutting, and whether there are creases on the back of the small box flip.

Hard box China should pay attention to whether the drawing process is consistent, so as to prevent the packaging from changing when exported to China.

VI. Seal

There should be two parallel glue marks on the back of the soft box cigarette seal, and the pasting position of a 10 cigarette seal is basically even and aligned; Fake cigarettes are sealed by hand, and sand is stuck behind the seal. Sometimes the whole seal is stuck by the People's Armed Forces.

Seven, cigarette label adhesive sealing process

See the packaging process characteristics of all kinds of equipment.

Generally, the edge of soft box cigarette label is 1-2mm, but sometimes the edges of fake cigarettes sealed by hand are bonded.

Eight, tongue paper

The tongue paper of GDX2 and GDX2000 cigarette cases has machine indentation on both sides.

Nine, lining paper (aluminum foil)

Aluminum foil paper is a kind of special paper made by laminating metal foil on paper. There are two kinds of packaging methods: straight packaging and horizontal packaging. The surface of genuine cigarette aluminum foil paper should be clean, bright and flat, with fine and uniform foil dots and clear fonts and patterns printed on the surface.

X. filter material

There are two kinds of filter materials: acetate filter and polypropylene filter. Acetate filter is used for middle and high-grade cigarettes. Polypropylene filter is generally used for low-grade cigarettes.

Acetate fiber filter: elastic, full filtration and good circularity.

Polypropylene filter element: it is difficult to cut, the incision is uneven, and the tow smells after burning.

XI。 Perforation and ventilation

There are two kinds of filter drilling: laser drilling and electrostatic drilling. Laser drilling is large, uniform and regular, and the hole spacing is equal; Electrostatic punching points are fine, and the holes fluctuate greatly up and down. In order to ventilate holes and reduce tar, glue is generally not used between the tipping paper at the hole point and the forming paper. If the paper with high air permeability is used (the surface of the paper with high air permeability looks like a screen), then the holes will penetrate the tipping paper. If ordinary forming paper is used, the holes will generally penetrate the forming paper. Identification can be judged according to whether the cigarette is perforated, whether high-permeability forming paper is used, and then the filter tip is opened.

Twelve, steel seal

There are two kinds of cigarette stamp: brand name stamp and digital stamp, which should be distinguished according to the characteristics of manufacturer's stamp. At present, many cigarette brands adopt the brand name tipping paper (that is, the brand name is imprinted on tipping paper), so we should pay attention to the manufacturing process of the brand name at the interface of tipping paper.

Thirteen, cigarette rolling direction

A box of genuine cigarettes has two opposite rolling directions, and the number of cigarettes in different directions is basically close. If the middle and high-grade cigarettes are in the same direction, they are generally fake cigarettes.

Fourteen, cut tobacco

Cut tobacco is generally composed of cut tobacco, expanded tobacco (stem) and sliced tobacco in different proportions.

First, tobacco flakes

Tobacco flake is an established part of cigarette formula, and it is a method to recover waste materials such as tobacco powder and broken stems. As far as manufacturing technology is concerned, there are mainly rolling method, papermaking method and thick pulp method. At present, the rolling pressing technology is mainly used in China, that is, tobacco substances are crushed and mixed with binder, reinforcing agent, color retention agent, water and other substances in a certain proportion to form loose pellets, and then pressed into films by one or more pairs of rollers. Its main appearance features are:

1, the sheet has insufficient strength and folding endurance, poor elasticity and is easy to be broken;

2. The colors of thin slices and tobacco leaves are often different. Generally the colors are dark.

3. At present, wood pulp fiber is mostly used as flake reinforcing agent, so the smell (smoke) is not clear and has peculiar smell, which is generally used for middle and low-grade cigarettes.

Second, expanded tobacco (stem)

The tobacco (stem) to be expanded is treated at high temperature after adding some expansion medium, and then the expansion medium quickly volatilizes to expand the tobacco stem. At present, there are mainly liquid (CO)2 expansion method, Freon-1 1 expansion method and high-pressure nitrogen expansion method.

The expanded cut tobacco is lighter in color and larger in volume; When placed in acetone solvent, the expanded cut tobacco floats on it and the unexpanded cut tobacco sinks. Generally mixed in high-grade tobacco.

Basic characteristics of genuine cut tobacco;

1, middle and high-grade cigarette cut tobacco is golden yellow and orange, with good luster and oiliness;

2. Low end percentage and stem content; The cut tobacco has compact structure and uniform width and length;

3. Mix the expanded tobacco shreds, expanded cut stems or tobacco sheets; (General tobacco flakes are used for middle and low grade cigarettes) General counterfeit tobacco shreds:

(1), the structure of cut tobacco is scattered, and the width of green silk is uneven;

(2) The gloss and oiliness of cut tobacco are poor, and the stem content is particularly high;

(3) After dyeing, the cut tobacco turns red at the corners;

(4) Incomplete processed cigarette scraps or inferior cut tobacco;

Sixteen, smell

Smoking evaluation is a comprehensive evaluation of tobacco leaf quality and cigarette formula, and an important means for consumers to evaluate product quality. Smoking evaluation is used to identify the authenticity of cigarettes, mainly by comparing with genuine cigarettes, and judging whether the taste style of the identified cigarettes is close to or consistent with genuine cigarettes, mainly through the following indicators:

1, smell: whether it is beautiful and pleasant, and whether it has a surface fragrance close to that of genuine cigarettes.

2. Taste style of cigarettes: mainly refers to the aroma characteristics, smoke concentration and physiological intensity (strength) of cigarettes.

3. Aroma: The unique aroma of tobacco inherent in cigarette smoke itself.

4. Harmony: the aroma is harmonious and consistent, and you can't feel the characteristics of one of them. Such as perfuming, adding materials and blending with leaf fragrance; The external fragrance of the cigarette with external fragrance is slightly prominent, which can not cover up the inherent fragrance of the cigarette itself.

5. Miscellaneous smell: there is no basic smell of cigarettes, and there is a slight or obvious bad smell. For example, the grass on the surface is dry and burnt, the soil stinks, turpentine is toxic, pollen is toxic, and the smell is choking.

6. irritation: slight or obvious discomfort caused by smoke to the senses. For example, sprint to the nasal cavity, mouth and throat.

7. Aftertaste: the taste left by smoke exhaled from the mouth and nose.

Specific identification should be combined with different grades and types of cigarettes.
