Abstract:
A side-opening hinge-lid container includes a body portion and a lid portion, each having a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall and a bottom wall. The lid portion is connected to the body portion along a hinge line for pivotal movement between a closed position and an open position. A body liner is mounted in the body portion and projects sideways into a space covered by the lid portion in the closed position. An outwardly extending ear is mounted on the liner. An inwardly extending flap is mounted to the lid portion for pivotal movement relative thereto. During pivotal movement of the lid portion between the open and closed positions, the flap engages the ear to produce a sound.
Abstract:
An adjacent article package for holding a consumer product and a promotional product includes a combining sleeve formed from a blank. The first container can be a pack of cigarettes and the second container can be a small package containing promotional products such as smokeless tobacco products. The adjacent article package can be sized to be compatible with cigarette cartons, cigarette display racks, tax-stamping equipment and the like.
Abstract:
A hermetically sealed cigarette packet is fashioned from a flat blank of substantially rectangular outline, referable to a longitudinal axis, having at least one face coated with an impermeable and heat-sealable material. The blank is divided by two crease lines extending parallel to the axis and by further crease lines transverse to the selfsame axis into a series of panels aligned on the longitudinal axis, each furnished with two flaps extending from its opposite ends; each flap is separated from the adjacent flap by a V-shaped notch of which the tip is positioned at a given distance from the corresponding longitudinal crease line, on the side remote from the longitudinal axis, rather than extending the full depth of the flap and intersecting the selfsame crease line.
Abstract:
A container (1; 48; 52; 54) for tobacco articles, the container (1; 48; 52; 54) being formed from folded sheet material (9), and having at least one wall (7) defined by an inner portion (22, 23) and an outer portion (21, 24) of sheet material superimposed at least partly on each other; and the part of the inner portion (22, 23) covered by a corresponding part of the outer portion (21,10 24) is drawn to accommodate the thickness of the corresponding part of the outer portion (21, 24), so that the relative wall (7) has a substantially continuous outer surface with no steps or exposed free edges (31).
Abstract:
A rigid of smoking articles is made to have improved shelf life and to be resealable. A barrier material is sealed around the rigid pack. The rigid pack has a potential or actual access aperture extending from a top face into a major face. The barrier material has a line of severance or weakening defining a flap, which is in register with the potential or actual access aperture. Over the flap is a layer which overlaps it on each severable side with a portion having permanently-tacky adhesive. A non-adhered pull tab is preferably provided on the layer. To open the pack the user lifts the flap and if necessary the access aperture. After removal of a smoking article the gap in the barrier layer is reclosed and released by the repositioning of the adhesive layer, carrying with it the flap of barrier material. A machine for assembling the pack is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A resealable hard box cigarette pack is provided with a window type opening extending across a portion of the pack top wall and also a portion of the front wall of the pack. The window is covered by a closure that may be resealed to the pack body either through insertion of a tab on the closure into a tab receiving slot in the front wall of the pack or by applying a permanent package adhesion along the outer edges of the closure with the edges of the openings in the top wall and the front wall.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a non-hinge lid smoking article pack, blank and print layout therefor which blank and print layout utilize a reduced amount of cartonboard and have reduced cartonboard waste from the print layout arrangement. Attempts to maximize interdigitation of blanks is proposed, whereby a saving of about 10% or more of cartonboard usage over a conventional hinge-lid pack can be achieved.
Abstract:
A pack (13) for elongate smoking articles encased in an inner wrapping includes a paperboard outer container having a generally rectangular base (14), four hingedly connected side walls (15-20) which upstand from the base, and a top panel member (22) which at least partially closes off the top of the pack. The side walls (15-20) are substantially the same height as the smoking articles and are secured with respect to the base. Access to the smoking articles is made beside the top panel member (22).
Abstract:
Pack, namely hinge-lid pack, made from thin cardboard, for cigarettes or other smoker's articles. Hinge-lid packs are conventionally constructed in such a way that a lid (14, 15) is pivotably connected to a pack part (12, 13). To increase the receiving capacity, a double pack consisting of two individual hinge-lid packs (10, 11) is formed from a common one-piece blank. This is designed in such a way that the double pack is folded on the cross-winding principle and thereafter two end regions are each provided with a lid (14, 15). The lids (14, 15) are to be opened in opposite directions. Within the double pack, the individual hinge-lid packs (10, 11) are separated from one another approximately centrally by means of bottom walls (34, 35). The bottom walls (34, 35) are parts (bottom tabs 67) of the collar (36, 37).
