What Makes an E-liquid Bottle TPD-Compliant? A Guide for EU Vape Brands!

If you’re a vape brand looking to sell in the European Union, compliance with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) is a must. Choosing the right e-liquid bottle isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about meeting strict safety, capacity, and labeling requirements. In this article, we’ll walk you through what TPD compliance means for e-liquid packaging and how Apex Chosen ensures our bottles are ready for the EU market.

1. What is TPD?

The TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) is a set of regulations enforced in the European Union to ensure the safety and standardization of nicotine-containing products, including e-liquids. Under this directive, bottles containing nicotine-based e-liquid must follow strict packaging rules.

2. TPD Packaging Rules for Bottles

Here are the key requirements:

• 🧴 Maximum bottle size: 10ml for nicotine-containing liquid

• 🔒 Child-resistant & tamper-evident caps

• ⚠️ Leak-proof filling mechanism

• 🏷️ Proper labeling & warnings (in local language)

• 🧪 Materials must not react with the liquid
