K#RWA is now available in Sweden

K#RWA is now available in Sweden. Starting August 10, 2026, K#RWA products will be available in Sweden through our partner Swepouch, marking another important milestone in our European expansion. On July 16, 2026, we received an accredited analytical test report from Eurofins Food & Feed Testing Sweden (Lidköping), an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. The report confirmed key product quality parameters, including nicotine content, pouch weight, moisture level and pH. Independent laboratory testing also confirmed no detectable levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium or mercury within the laboratory's reporting limits, further demonstrating our commitment to product quality, safety and regulatory compliance. All products have the required certifications and permits for wholesale distribution, and we look forward to building a strong presence in the Swedish market together with our local partner.

K#RWA Packaging Successfully Certified as Child-Resistant

We are pleased to announce that the packaging used for K#RWA nicotine pouches has successfully passed independent testing and received an official Child-Resistant Packaging Certificate in accordance with the EN ISO 8317:2015 international standard. The certification confirms that our plastic cans and closures meet the strict safety requirements for reclosable child-resistant packaging, helping to prevent accidental opening by young children while remaining convenient for adult consumers. The certification is valid until 17 July 2029. What was tested? The certification covered our complete packaging system, including: plastic container for nicotine pouches; child-resistant plastic closure; opening mechanism requiring the correct press-and-open action; compliance with EN ISO 8317:2015 safety requirements. Independent laboratory testing: the packaging underwent testing by the accredited laboratory CIMTO Testing Laboratory No. 1075. The official test results demonstrated that 92% of children participating in the test were unable to open the packaging, 96% of adults were able to open and properly reclose the packaging, and the packaging successfully passed all required certification criteria. Our commitment: at K#RWA, product safety is just as important as product quality. Receiving this certification reflects our ongoing commitment to manufacturing packaging that complies with international safety standards while providing confidence to our distributors, retail partners, and consumers worldwide. As we continue expanding into new international markets, we remain dedicated to meeting the highest regulatory and quality requirements.

K#RWA Becomes K#RA for Vaping Products in the Czech Republic

Dear Customers, Some things never change. Others have to. We would like to inform our customers in the Czech Republic about an important update regarding our brand. Due to new legislation that comes into effect on July 1, 2026, brand names for electronic cigarettes and vaping products sold in the Czech Republic may no longer contain or resemble vulgar language. To comply with these legal requirements, we are introducing a rebranding of our vaping product range exclusively for the Czech market. As a result, K#RWA will gradually become K#RA for electronic cigarettes, POD systems, and e-liquids sold in the Czech Republic only. What Is Changing? This rebranding applies exclusively to products sold in the Czech Republic. Only vaping products (electronic cigarettes, POD systems, and e-liquids) are affected. K#RWA Nicotine Pouches, Energy Pouches, and all other non-vaping products will continue to be sold under the K#RWA brand, as this legislation does not apply to these product categories. The products themselves remain exactly the same. Only the brand name on the packaging is changing. We are also preparing new products with even higher quality and improved performance. Our visual identity remains almost unchanged. The update primarily consists of removing the letter “W”, making the transition from K#RWA to K#RA while keeping the brand instantly recognizable. This is a legal compliance update for the Czech Republic only. Outside the Czech Republic, our products will continue to be marketed under the K#RWA brand. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction remains stronger than ever. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
