Disposable vapes are set to be banned in line with a Government announcement in January.
The ban will no doubt cause some frustration across the UK.
An area of concern has been the impact of disposable vapes on the environment.

Reusable vapes will still be available.
These are more sustainable, and with child resistant caps now available for e-liquid bottles, they also present a safer alternative to disposable vapes.

This statistic underscores the importance of inclusivity in all aspects of life, including product packaging.

Accessible packaging is not just about physical access; it also encompasses clear and understandable product information, ensuring that everyone, including those with cognitive impairments or literacy challenges, can make informed decisions about the products they buy.
When you choose DiD for your pharma or healthcare packaging, you’re investing in genuine dedication.
