Chatter Box

The Chatter Box website is an online glossary of cigarette packaging design elements. A cigarette package contains not only cigarettes but also meanings. The Chatter Box site explores the culturally informed meanings, or connotations, of the main physical, textual, and visual aspects of cigarette packs. Chatter Box aims to be an authoritative source of information about cigarette package design elements. The site includes clear definitions of design elements, and identifies social functions that these elements serve.
