The 2025 edition was no exception. From child-safe packaging and dual-heating devices to perfume-inspired shisha flavors and ultra- thin nicotine pouches, this year's highlights reflect the industry's ongoing push for differentiation, safety, and consumer experience. Below, we spotlight five standout products that caught our attention. InterTabac 2025: New Products Seen Tobacco Asia scoured this year's exhibition, selecting a few of the most intriguing new products that took our fancy. Origin Ltd., UK: child-safe pouch cans British firm Origin Ltd. made a strong impression at InterTabac 2025 with its child-safe cans for snus and nicotine pouches. Designed to mirror the size and appearance of standard off- the-shelf cans, the innovation lies in the cans' proprietary child- resistant mechanism. "The big difference of our cans is their its child safety thanks to a built-in child resistance mechanism, which is our proprietary patent pending technology," explained Origin's managing director Michael McSorley.

"Our view here is that it stops kids from being able to get hold of the product, whether unused or used," McSorley said. A separate compartment for used pouches further enhances safety and hy- giene. "We own a lot of patents in child resistance, and we sit on a number of boards supporting the government with child resistance legislation," he added, underscoring Origin's deep ex- pertise in pharmaceutical-grade packaging. Manufactured in Sweden, the cans are priced competi- tively with non-child-resistant products. "There's no reason not to make the switch," McSorley asserted. The company also showcased child-resistant bags for loose tobacco and medicinal cannabis jars, tailored to varying market regulations. "Oral to- bacco products is a growing industry, and we want to make sure that it grows in a safe and sustainable way," McSorley pointed out. "Our vision is not to make it more difficult for people to get into the products, but simply to add that element of safety." Origin's offering is a timely response to increasing scru- tiny around youth access to nicotine products. By integrating child resistance without compromising consumer convenience, the company sets a new benchmark for responsible packaging in the oral tobacco segment.
