Description:
A brightly patriotic package design that reflects the symbolism of the United States. The top of the package is white and the bottom is red - a color scheme clearly tied to the American flag. Shown in the center golden eagle, with its wings spread over a background of stars, which gives the path a monumental national character. Logo USA Gold written in blue and gold letters, with a subtle horizontal line running across the entire package.
Note Full Flavor 100's refers to longer-format cigarettes intended for those who prefer a stronger, richer taste. The text on the side shows Made in USA., as well as the usual Class A Cigarettes and Surgeon General's Warning warnings. A gold line at the top completes the design with an elegant accent.
The design balances between simplicity and symbolically rich – this image of classic American identity, typical of tobacco products of the late 1980s and 1990s, when competition from the domestic US market encouraged the creation of strong national brands.
