Texas cigarette tax stamp irons
Texas requires a tax stamp on every pack of cigarettes. The stamp is a two-colored decal that is applied with heat, so distributors work it onto each pack with a heated iron or machine. That is the exact job our irons are built for.

How Texas stamps cigarettes
Texas describes its stamp as heat transferred in its own filing in the FTA Tobacco Tax Uniformity compendium (November 2025).
“a two-colored stamp that is heat transferred”
The Texas Comptroller publishes a searchable non-retailer database that includes cigarette distributors. View the Texas registry.
