Swan Flavour Fusion Cards are the latest addition to Republic Technologies’ portfolio of best-selling roll your own accessories. Available in two variants, Fresh Burst and Menthol, the Flavour Fusion Cards enable retailers to offer more choice in flavour and format.

The Swan Flavour Fusion Cards enable consumers to create their own level of flavour in a packet of cigarettes or roll-your-own tobacco in just 60 minutes and are available in two variants, Fresh Burst and Menthol (RRP: 39p per card).

Following the change in legislation last May, there has been a significant number of consumers looking for flavour alternatives to menthol cigarettes and innovation is key to driving sales. Swan Flavour Fusion Cards allow retailers to maximise on the profit opportunities that tobacco accessories provide.

Republic Technologies plays a major role in the UK’s £313m tobacco accessories category*1, offering quality, choice and value with its market-leading range of filters, papers, matches and lighters from iconic brands such as Swan, Zig-Zag and OCB.

Republic Technologies is once again proud to be supporting this year’s Retail Industry Awards, with Swan Flavour Fusion Cards sponsoring the Store Manager of the Year categories. These awards will recognise retailers of distinction who are showing innovation in driving sales and excelling across all areas of independent, symbol, multiple and convenience store business management.
