| A GOLD Coast company has done what the tobacco industry could not -- cover up the confronting images on new plain-packaged cigarettes.
Box Wraps, based at Yatala, will today unveil a range of designs for a purpose-built sticker that wraps around cigarette packets in seconds.
The stickers are a direct challenge to the Federal Government's new plain packaging laws and will be marketed with the slogan, "It's your box, it's your choice".
The laws came into effect on December 1 after Attorney General Nicola Roxon won a High Court showdown against tobacco giants.
The laws require cigarettes to be sold in olive green packs without trademarks and with gruesome health warnings.
