Cigarette & Tobacco Machinery Manufacturers in Pakistan
Packing Machines
A packing line is where your product finally takes shape, so it has to be steady, clean and easy to run shift after shift. At Civic Tobacco Machinery we supply cigarette packing machines in Pakistan that are chosen for exactly that, dependable output and packs that look the same every single time.
Our range covers hard pack and soft pack formats, from 180 up to 225 packs per minute, with both new and carefully reconditioned options. Whether you are setting up a fresh line or adding capacity to an existing one, we help you match the right machine to your volume, your budget and the brands you produce.
A cigarette packing machine takes finished cigarettes coming off the maker and forms, fills, and seals them into individual packs. This stage doesn’t touch tobacco formation or filter attachment at all. It works purely on the finished product, counting cigarettes into the correct quantity per pack and building the pack itself, whether that’s a rigid hinge-lid box or a folded soft pack, before the pack moves on to overwrapping.
Not all packing machines build the same style of pack, and this is the main technical split in our range. Our HLP-180, HLP-200, and HLP-225 are hard pack machines, forming the rigid hinge-lid box most factories associate with a standard cigarette pack. Our SASIB 3000 and SASIB 5000 are soft pack machines, building the flexible, foil-wrapped pack format still in strong demand in several markets.
These aren’t interchangeable configurations of the same machine. A hard pack line and a soft pack line are genuinely different mechanically, so the choice between HLP and SASIB comes down to which pack format your market and product actually need, not which machine is “better.”
Our HLP range supports several packet set-up styles, including round corner, bevel edge, D-type, and square. This isn’t just a cosmetic choice. Each set-up affects how the pack looks and feels on shelf, and different markets and brands tend to favor different styles as part of their product identity. Confirming which set-up your brand requires before ordering avoids a mismatch between the machine you buy and the pack design you actually need to produce.
Machines like the HLP-200 and HLP-225 use a double plunger system, a mechanism that pushes cigarettes into the pack shell from two coordinated points rather than one. This matters at higher speeds specifically, since a single-plunger design can struggle to maintain consistent pack density and alignment once output climbs past a certain point. The double plunger design is part of what allows these machines to hold their rated speed without a rise in rejected or poorly formed packs.
All three HLP models cover the same King Size, Demi, Slims, Super Slims and Nano formats and the same round corner, bevel edge, D-type and square pack styles, run on PLC control, and are available new or reconditioned. The real differences are speed, plunger type and pack throughput.
| Model | Speed | Type | Other specs | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HLP-180 | 180 packs/min | Single plunger | — | High-volume hard pack production, local and export markets |
| HLP-200 | 200 packs/min | Double plunger | 12,000 cigarettes max. capacity, 220V/380V | Core of an integrated packing line |
| HLP-225 | 225 packs/min | Double plunger | — | Large-scale packing lines |
Within the HLP range specifically, the model numbers directly reflect rated output, so choosing between them is largely a question of matching your target packs-per-minute to your actual production volume rather than assuming the highest number is automatically the right choice.
A packing machine needs to keep pace with the cigarette maker feeding it, or it becomes the bottleneck right after the most expensive part of your line. A high-speed maker like the Protos 80 ER, producing up to 8,000 cigarettes per minute, needs a packing setup capable of genuinely keeping up, which typically means running more than one packing line in parallel rather than expecting a single packer to absorb that entire output. Confirm this pairing before finalizing a line, rather than treating the packer as an afterthought once the maker is already selected.
Civic Tobacco Machinery has supplied and supported tobacco machinery from the SITE industrial estate in Karachi since 1990, including complete packing lines alongside makers, filter machines, and wrappers. A few reasons factories choose us for packing equipment specifically:
Packing equipment is available new, used, or reconditioned, priced to fit different stages of a factory’s growth. Every reconditioned unit is inspected, serviced, and tested before it leaves us, and our engineers stay involved through setup so the machine performs the way it was described.
Alongside factories across Pakistan, we export packing machines to markets including Bangladesh, Turkey, Indonesia, Poland, Bulgaria and beyond. See our export destinations for more on shipping and support outside Pakistan.
The HLP range produces hard pack, rigid hinge-lid cigarette packs. The SASIB range produces soft pack, foil-wrapped cigarette packs. They're built for genuinely different pack formats rather than different speed tiers of the same product.
It depends on your target output. The HLP-180, HLP-200, and HLP-225 run at 180, 200, and 225 packs per minute respectively, so the right choice is the one that matches your actual production volume rather than the fastest machine available.
Our HLP range supports round corner, bevel edge, D-type, and square set-ups. Tell us which style your brand requires and we'll confirm it against the machine you're considering.
Both. Reconditioned packing equipment is fully inspected, serviced and tested before sale, giving growing factories a lower-cost entry point without an unknown machine history.
Our HLP range supports both 220V and 380V setups. Confirm your factory's electrical supply with us before ordering so the machine is configured correctly from installation.
