Mengdu (The Dream Capital) - the brand name of China's first super thin cigarette product developed by Nanjing Cigarette Factory in east China's Jiangsu Province - has won a gold prize for its packaging designing at the Appraisal of the Top Ten Cigarette Marks in China for the year 2005. The Appraisal of the Top Ten Cigarette Marks in China for the year 2005 was co-sponsored by a number of authoritative agencies including the State Development and Reform Commission, China Tobacco Society, China Packaging Federation, China Printing Technologies Association and China Tender-Invitation & Global Tobacco Packaging. Cigarette brands of more than 40 Chinese tobacco manufacturers were chosen as candidates for contention for the gold prize for packaging designing at the appraisal. As a result, Mengdu won the gold prize for its fashionable, novel and modern packaging designing. Nanjing Cigarette Factory - a key tobacco manufacturer designated by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA) - developed the Chinese-style super thin Mengdu cigarette product earlier this year. On April 7, the first packet of Mengdu brand super thin cigarettes was turned out from the production line independently developed by Nanjing Cigarette Factory. Enditem
