Why is soft clothing more expensive than hard clothing?

There are several factors. First, the process. The original cigarettes were all wrapped in soft wet paper, because it was very simple. In the age when material civilization is not very developed, the value of cigarettes is higher than any cigarette additive. Therefore, packaging is not important, it plays a basic role in packaging and protection. Moreover, the bonding process is simple, because it is only a simple protection, so there were only soft packs of cigarettes at that time. (Smoke measurement)

Second, the cost. About 60-70 years ago, both at home and abroad, in order to save costs, toilet paper and oil paper were used as general packaging for packaging cigarettes, cakes and other foods. There is only one reason to reduce costs. Now let's talk about the difference between soft pack and hard pack cigarettes. (Smoke measurement)

No matter Peony in 1980s and 1990s or Ashima in Hongtashan, the high, middle and low-grade cigarettes in that era were mainly soft packs, while the hard-box cigarettes, because of the high-pressure double-layer internal and external packaging, set off another wave of improvement except filter tips. As an artifact to prevent cigarette wrinkling, hard box golden mango became a new favorite in the mid-1990s. In Henan, hard-box golden mangoes have sprung up everywhere. (Smoke measurement)

With the changes of the times, the enhancement of science and technology and the diversification of materials, and the improvement of people's living standards, the priceless feelings of cigarettes are also reflected. Therefore, the feelings of soft-packed cigarettes have been sublimated to the greatest extent in packaging. What we're talking about here is high-grade soft-packed cigarettes. In addition to tobacco itself, the corresponding anti-counterfeiting, printing, bonding, molding and over-molding technologies have also been improved. It should be noted that the complexity and cost of the outer packaging of high-grade soft-packed cigarettes are higher than those of ordinary hard boxes. (Smoke measurement)

For example, the distinction here is between popular soft and hard boxes and Chinese anti-counterfeiting, because low-grade cigarettes continue the tradition that the lowest cost is king. This can't be confused with high-grade cigarettes. In fact, you can also observe the packaging differences between high-grade cigarettes in 50 yuan and low-grade cigarettes in 10 yuan.

So finally back to the landlord's question, the difference between soft-packed cigarettes and hard-packed cigarettes, from the price point of view, most high-grade cigarettes are soft-packed, more expensive than hard-packed, and the work and cost of soft-packed cigarettes and packaging materials are higher than hard-packed; In addition, I mentioned some cigarettes packed in ultra-hard boxes with thick side covers. These cigarettes are fashionable, but the price is between high and low. Personally, I think these cigarettes are cost-effective. For example, the cigarettes in the picture above are basically the same. Thank you for reading.
