"Not all fake cigarettes are shorter than real cigarettes." The staff of this center said that this is only one of the intuitive criteria for distinguishing between true and false cigarettes.
According to reports, in addition to the different lengths of cigarette "paper", there are at least four other standards to distinguish between true and false cigarettes: the transparent paper of counterfeit cigarette cases is usually harder and thicker than the transparent paper of cigarette cases. If it is a recycled cigarette case, there will be creases on the back of the cigarette case flip, and fake cigarettes will be filled in mixed cigarettes or real cigarette cases. Counterfeiters often open the top of cigarette cases and put fake cigarettes in them. Identification mainly depends on whether the seals on both sides of the box cover have been opened, and identifies creases. There is no wrinkle in the packaging of real cigarette aluminum foil equipment, the printing of fake cigarette aluminum foil is vague, the foil dots are thick and have obvious reticulation, and the mixed cigarette aluminum foil paper is wrinkled and uneven. Fake cigarettes are printed with distortion and feel hard, and mixed cigarettes are generally inserted in the back row.
It is understood that at present, there are four main characteristics of counterfeit cigarettes in Dalian market, that is, real boxes recycle counterfeit cigarettes; Recycle genuine cigarettes with lower grade in genuine boxes or genuine cigarettes in fake cigarette cases and sell them at a price slightly lower than that of genuine cigarettes; Real cigarettes are boxed with fake cigarettes and sold as real cigarettes; Cigarettes are usually mixed with real cigarette cases, with a few fake cigarettes in them.
In order to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and effectively crack down on the crime of manufacturing and selling fake cigarettes, this paper introduces several methods to identify the authenticity of cigarettes for consumers' reference.
First, the application of sensory methods to identify true and false cigarettes
Master the technology of comprehensive analysis and judgment according to the inspection conditions of strips, small packets, cigarettes, cut tobacco and smell.
1. Some manufacturers, due to the transformation of equipment, make the characteristics of cigarette packaging technology inconsistent with the routine. For example, the drawing head of the Chinese-style small box produced by Fokker Machine of Shanghai Cigarette Factory is semicircular; GDX-2 packaging machine adopts upper opening cover; The cigarette label of GDX-I is point-sealed, and the improved carton of SASIB is side-opened, with three-point bonding, and the cigarette label has one-to-one correspondence. The cigarette label has cut corners but has multiple angles at the same time.
2. For some small cigarette manufacturers, there will be cases where small (hard) boxes are packed by hand, such as the hard box rhododendron of Nanning Tobacco Factory in Guangxi.
Second, distinguish between true and false cigarettes from cut tobacco.
From the manufacturing process and formula structure of cut tobacco, we can distinguish between true and false cigarettes, and its main indicators are:
Aroma: The inherent tobacco aroma of cigarette smoke.
Harmony: the aroma is harmonious and consistent, and you can't feel the characteristics of a certain monomer. 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.
Miscellaneous smell: it does not have the essential smell of cigarettes, but has a slight or obvious bad smell. Such as grass, burnt, earthy, turpentine, pollen, local and choking.
Irritation: Slight or obvious discomfort caused by smoke sensation. Such as irritation to the nasal cavity, mouth and throat.
Aftertaste: the taste sensation left by smoke entering the mouth and exhaling through the nasal cavity.
Quality of cut tobacco: a. Color: middle and high-grade cigarette cut tobacco is golden yellow and orange, with good luster and oiliness; B, the cut tobacco content and cut tobacco content are low, the cut tobacco structure is compact, and the width and length of the cut tobacco are appropriate; C. Whether expanded cut tobacco, expanded cut stem or tobacco flakes are mixed (generally, tobacco flakes are used for middle and low-grade cigarettes).
Generally, counterfeit tobacco shreds: a. The luster and oiliness of tobacco shreds are poor, and the content of tobacco shreds and cut stems is high; B, dyeing the cut tobacco and turning it red at the corner of the cut tobacco; C. leftover cigarettes or untreated inferior cut tobacco.
Three, from the seals, cigarette labels to distinguish between true and false cigarettes.
Seal label: there should be two parallel glue seals on the back of the seal label of soft box cigarettes, and the paste position of a 10 pack of cigarettes is basically evenly aligned; Fake cigarettes are sealed by hand, and the back of the seal is irregular, and sometimes the whole seal is sticky.
Cigarette label: The identification method is the same as the box. According to the printing characteristics of each brand trademark, it is mainly identified from the aspects of pattern bronzing, box luster and color, box paper texture and so on.
Shanghai Cigarette Factory Yuxi Cigarette Factory uses imported gravure press for trademark printing, so the trademark has bright luster and distinct layers, and the edges of the lines are slightly jagged when observed with a magnifying glass (or carefully observed with the naked eye) (such as "35", "Sword Brand" and "Marlboro" in foreign cigarettes).
Nanjing Cigarette Factory's "Fine Nanjing" and "Good Nanjing" small box films adopt the latest technology of "Dragon" pattern color film, which enhances the anti-counterfeiting function of products.
