1. Old signs: Pinyin and foreign languages are the main ones, and the patterns mainly reflect the social background and culture at that time. Most of these items are collected by price purchase, and rarely by exchange.
2. Early label: mainly soft label, which refers to the tobacco label during the period from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the appearance of China Tobacco Label. It is characterized by many traditional Chinese characters, including public-private joint ventures and local state-owned ones.
3. Chinese cigarette label: It means that only "Produced by China Tobacco Industry Company" is printed on the cigarette case, and about 61 cigarette factories in China use this name at the same time. From the establishment of China Tobacco Industry Company in 1963 to its cancellation in 1968. There are about 1 kinds of cigarette labels, which are loved by collectors because they are the products of a special period.
4. Cultural Revolution label: mainly soft label, cigarette label produced during the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1975. It is characterized by quotations from the chairman, inscriptions, revolutionary slogans and cigarette labels with specific patterns during the Cultural Revolution.
5. Three nonstandard labels refer to cigarette trademarks produced by various tobacco factories (companies) in China in the late 196s, 197s and early 198s. Its name is "Three Non-standard", which is different from "R, tar content and smoke type" that appeared on cigarette labels in the mid-198s. In January 1987, China Tobacco Corporation stipulated that manufacturers should mark the tar content grade, and note "R" and smoke type earlier.
The three non-standards are: no "R, tar content and smoke type"; Or "no tar content, no R, no filter tip"? Which is the identification mark of "three unmarked", cigarette type or filter tip? Newcomers to the cigarette label collection are often confused. The correct answer should be cigarette type.
Because the filter has existed since the late 197s, it can't be used as a sign of the end of an era. The tobacco types, like the R and tar content signs, all appeared in the middle and late 198s, which marked the end of the situation that cigarette labels were not standardized just after the Cultural Revolution and the early days of reform and opening up. Generally, the three standards of "R, tar content and smoke type" appear, which means that it is a product in the middle and late 198s, and the earliest is just the early 198s. If these three labels are not included, they are cigarette labels before the 198 s. After the 199s, almost all cigarette labels have these three labels (or one of them).
6. Dismounted label (refers to the product label of the tobacco factory that has been dismounted): the cigarette label of the original tobacco factory that was ordered to close, stop, merge and transfer by China Tobacco Corporation before 1986.
