Custom Packaging
in Tampa
Tampa's Ybor City was once the cigar capital of the world, and premium cigars and tobacco accessories are still part of its identity. Today the Tampa Bay economy also includes a busy port, finance and tech employers, and a big restaurant and tourism trade.

Packaging for Tampa businesses
Florida law stops local governments from regulating disposable bags and auxiliary containers, and preempts new local polystyrene rules, so Tampa packaging is shaped mainly by state and federal rules.
Tampa's Gasparilla festival and its pro sports teams create big merchandise moments, and its Cuban sandwich and bakery tradition supports local food brands. Tampa's humid climate also means packaging stock is best stored in air-conditioned space. Across the bay, St. Petersburg's arts district and beaches add galleries, boutiques and craft breweries, and many brands serve both cities from one Tampa Bay warehouse.
Cigars and tobacco accessories
Cigar makers and shops need cigar boxes, gift boxes and display boxes.
Restaurants and food
Restaurants and Cuban bakeries need takeout boxes, bakery boxes and food cartons.
Tourism and gifts
Hotels and gift shops need souvenir gift boxes and branded bags.
Packaging rules to know in Tampa
Florida limits local bag, container and foam rules
Florida law (s. 403.7033, F.S.) stops local governments from regulating disposable plastic bags and auxiliary containers, and a 2016 state law preempts new local polystyrene rules; courts applied this against Coral Gables' foam ban. Cities can still restrict polystyrene on their own property, such as beaches, parks and venues.

Tips for Tampa orders
- Cigar gift boxes should be sized for the cigar format and leave room for any required warnings.
- In Florida humidity, store corrugated and paperboard stock in air-conditioned space.
