Abstract: Packaging comprises a sleeve and a re-configurable container comprising first and second boxes which are hinged together and are pivotable between a folded-together configuration in which a first main panel of the first box faces a first main panel of the second box and the container is insertable into and removable from the sleeve and an unfolded configuration in which the first main panels of the first and second boxes do not face one another. The first main panel of the first box has an aperture which provides access to a first compartment. The second box has a first edge panel for providing access to a second compartment. The arrangement is such that, when the container is inserted in the sleeve, the sleeve covers the first edge panel of the second box, and, when the container is removed from the sleeve, the first edge panel of the second box provides access to the second compartment.

Abstract: Smoking article wrapper and method of making a smoking article A smoking article component comprises a curved sheet wrapper of weight 40 gsm or more that includes a plurality of lines of strength discontinuity at which the wrapper presents a visually discernable non-uniformity in its curvature. The wrapper can be used for example to wrap the filter of a cigarette as a plug wrap for the filter so as to comprise a wrapper of weight 80 gsm or more.

Abstract: Packaging including a line of weakness (10, 11) that is broken to obtain access to an article within said packaging is disclosed. A varnish or lacquer coating is applied to spaced regions (12) along the length of the line of weakness.

Abstract: A pack for smoking articles including an outer housing (11) having an open end and an inner casing (12) telescopically received within the outer housing and moveable between an open position in which the inner casing (12) at least partially extends out of the open end of the outer housing (11), and a closed position in which the inner casing (12) is retracted further into the outer housing than in the open position. The inner casing (12) includes an elongate access aperture (29) configured to enable elongate smoking articles to be laterally dispensed therefrom in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a smoking article (10). In particular, the invention relates to a smoking article (10) having a first part (11) which is moveable relative to a second part (12). The smoking article (10) may be extendable. In one example, the smoking article has a first cylindrical part configured to be moveable relative to a second cylindrical part, the first cylindrical part having a first engaging surface (17) and the second cylindrical part having a second engaging surface (20), wherein the first engaging surface (17) is engagable with the second engaging surface (20) to limit relative longitudinal movement between the first and second parts and wherein at least one of the first and second engaging surfaces (17, 20) extends around at least part of an inner or outer surface of the respective first or second cylindrical parts and follows a path other than a circular path.

Abstract: A pack for smoking articles is disclosed. The pack includes a body having two minor side walls, a minor top wall and a minor bottom wall extending between two opposing major walls so as to define a space for holding smoking articles. The pack further includes an opening in at least one minor wall so as to provide access to the space, a lid that is pivotally attached to the minor wall formed with the opening so as to open and close said opening. The lid is attached to one of said minor walls along a hinge line that extends obliquely relative to a plane of at least one of the major walls.

Abstract: A container for holding unused and used snus is disclosed. The container comprises a base defining a first compartment to receive unused snus. The base has a bottom wall which is reconfigurable to form a second compartment for holding used snus on the other side of said bottom wall. The first and second compartments are each provided with a separate cover.

Abstract: A container comprising a housing defining a main storage space and a lid attachable to the housing to close said main storage space is disclosed. The lid includes a central recess and a cover attachable to the lid to close the central recess so to define a secondary storage space. Furthermore, the cover is magnetically detachable from the lid.

Abstract: A container for snus is disclosed. It comprises two portions that together define a resealable compartment for holding snus, wherein the two portions are attachable to each other by non-permanent reusable adhesive to close the compartment.

Abstract: A package comprises a first unit for a smokable tobacco product and a second unit for a smokeless tobacco product. In one embodiment of the package, the second unit is of a material suitable as a barrier material for moisture and/or aroma related to the smokeless tobacco product.
