The earliest "Nanjing" card was available during the Republic of China. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the capital of the Republic of China moved back to Nanjing, when the city's largest "Guangming Brothers Tobacco Factory" launched a "Nanjing" brand cigarettes, the cigarette is 20 horizontal soft packaging, white background, the main picture is the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum sketched with a light ochre pen, and the secondary picture is a flag fluttering on the building; With gold-edged red lines, the whole design is crisp and elegant, and the text is all English except for the sub-version of the Chinese brand name and the factory name. This label can be regarded as a treasure in the old cigarette label in Nanjing, and it is also the first generation of "Nanjing" brand cigarette label.
After the liberation, although the "Guangming Brothers Tobacco Factory" was still in operation, it did not seem to produce the "Nanjing" brand until the completion of the socialist transformation of industry and commerce, and the "Guangming Brothers Tobacco Factory" was merged into the "Nanjing Qinfeng Tobacco Factory", the predecessor of the Nanjing Cigarette Factory. Qinfeng Tobacco Factory launched a new version of "Nanjing" brand cigarettes around 1956, red background, decorated with yellow lines of Ruyi cloud pattern dove of peace, in order to symbolize the determination of New China to defend peace and the hope for a better life, the main and secondary versions of the "Nanjing" brand name were square and round with shaded white art words, this cigarette became a famous cigarette in Nanjing after its launch. This is the second generation of "Nanjing".
On December 29, 1968, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and the Nanjing Cigarette Factory launched the third generation of "Nanjing" cigarettes on the basis of the second generation of "Nanjing". The overall design remains unchanged, the ornamentation is all changed, the yellow stripe pattern of the main picture is the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, the secondary picture is the construction scene, and the edge decoration has been changed to the representative sunflower pattern of the Cultural Revolution. The name of the factory is "State-owned Nanjing Cigarette Factory". The design of the third generation "Nanjing" is still in production and use today.
In the early eighties of the last century, Nanjing Cigarette Factory had launched another design of "Nanjing", with a white background and a red and yellow pattern of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge bridgehead and a new railway station, but the sales time of this cigarette was extremely short, and it is estimated that it is a trial product. It should be considered the fourth generation.
Entering the nineties, cigarette packaging to the high-end development, Nanjing cigarette factory also timely launched the fifth generation of "Nanjing" brand cigarettes, the fifth generation of "Nanjing" for the hard box, the overall design is relatively simple, the main pattern for the city emblem of Nanjing City "evil spirit, city gate, dragon and phoenix", according to different grades of different background color, some are equipped with dark moire, roughly green, gold, purple red, red and so on, of which purple red and red are two kinds of high-end products, sales are very good.
