The disclosure provides a vacuum packaging product. The vacuum packaging product includes an outer packaging member and a cartridge configured for use in an electronic cigarette. The cartridge is filled with an aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is packed and hermetically sealed in the outer packaging member in a vacuum state. Since the outer packaging member is in a vacuum state, a pressure difference exists between the inside and the outside of the outer packaging member due to the vacuum state of the outer packaging member, and the outer packaging member is contracted, so as to better seal the cartridge that has been filled with the aerosol-forming substrate, and to avoid leakage caused by possible high temperature, high pressure or negative pressure during transportation.

The sheet is cut (15) through both layers to outline a flap portion 14, the cut leaving an edge in a hinge region 18, the upper layer being removed behind the line of the hinge region 18. In this way the flexible base layer forms a hinge 18 that is easy to handle and does not spring back, while the stiff upper layer maintains the shape of the flap.
