Cigar Box Wrapping

Today's challenge was wrapping a cigar box for our friends at Boss Cigar. They specialize in custom cigars and needed a solution for putting the finishing touch on their product.  

For this job we used the DeltaWrap 200 Wide because we needed a film width of at least 13" and the Wide will handle up to 14".  The box measures 10"  long by 2.25" deep by 6.5" wide.  The key measurements to determining film width is the length +  depth + at least .5" for overlap. We happened to have a 14" roll of film on hand so that is what we used for this demo. Having more overlap  isn't a problem and in my opinion actually looks a little better.  You can judge for yourself in the picture below. 

So, that said, this was very easy to do. Watch the video, Donna has some great technique that is key to wrapping these larger boxes. We would have to do several to get a feel for through put but she wraps this one and explains how to do it in one minute. With a little practice we think 2 -3 per minute is a reasonable expectation. The per box cost breakdown comes in at a little less than a nickel.

There would be many good ideas that can come about as a result of being able to wrap your own boxes. Each box could actually be customized to maximize the personal touch a business like this can enjoy. Not only can the cigars be custom but even the presentation itself.  A separate piece of paper could easily be slipped under the wrap for special parties or use your imagination and come up with that marketing idea that sets you apart from the others.
