E-Cigarette Labels & Vape Stickers
Regulatory-compliant labels for e-cigarettes, vape devices and e-liquid packaging — TPD health warnings, nicotine content markings, tactile warning symbols and UKCA/CE device marking.
The UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (implementing EU TPD Article 20) impose specific labelling requirements on all nicotine-containing products. Non-compliance risks Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) enforcement action. Adcal Labels produces all required label types from short-run digital print with no tooling costs.
E-Cigarette Labelling Requirements
Under the UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR) — the UK post-Brexit implementation of the EU Tobacco Products Directive — all e-cigarettes and refill containers sold in the UK must carry specific labelling. The primary requirements are a health warning covering 30% of the front and back surface of the unit packaging, the exact text "This product contains nicotine which is a highly addictive substance" (or the shorter version for very small packs), and a tactile warning symbol for child safety.
For e-liquid refill containers, the regulations additionally require: a list of all ingredients in descending order of weight, nicotine content per dose (mg/ml), recommended storage conditions, batch number, and MHRA notification number. Each of these elements must be legible at the size printed, which means the label material and print process matter as much as the artwork.
Vape hardware (devices, tanks, coils) sold under UKCA marking requires a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA mark on the device or its packaging. We print UKCA marks on device labels and stickers, and can produce the full label set for vape hardware including instruction symbol labels, charging labels and safety pictograms.
