Abstract: A container includes a housing that has a box and a lid, where the box includes a front wall and a back wall. A hinged connector is connected to the lid at a first hinge line and connected to the back wall of the box at a second hinge line. The container also includes an inner package disposed within the housing. The inner package includes a first layer that defines a flap and a second layer at least partially attached to an inner surface of the first layer, where the second layer defines an access opening through which the consumer goods can be removed. The lid is movable between a closed position and an open position. The inner package is covered by the lid and the box when the lid is in the closed position and at least partially uncovered when the lid is in the open positon.

Abstract: A container for consumer goods comprises an outer housing having a box and a lid (103) hinged to the box along a hinge line and pivotable about the hinge line between an open position and a closed position. Further, the container comprises an inner package (104) of consumer goods within the outer housing comprising an access opening (105) for removing consumer goods when the lid is in the open position. The container further comprises a reclosable flap (106) occluding the access opening and at least one activatable adhesive element (107) provided on a surface of the reclosable flap, on a surface of the lid or on both. The adhesive element can be selectively activated, and the reclosable flap can be affixed to the lid by the activated adhesive element, such that upon opening the lid the reclosable flap is lifted off the inner package to at least partly reveal the access opening.

Abstract: A container for consumer articles is at least partially formed from a cardboard or paperboard laminar blank having a thickness (T) and defining a portion of the container, which comprises at least a first planar wall and a second planar wall that are connected to one another by a bevelled edge portion. The bevelled edge portion has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surface of the bevelled edge portion defines an ablation area (A), having a length (L) in the longitudinal direction of the bevelled edge portion and a width (W) that extends across the bevelled edge portion. The ablation area comprises two or more ablated lines extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the bevelled edge portion. Each ablated line has a minimum residual thickness (RT) that is at least about 15 percent and less than about 40 percent of the thickness (T) of the blank, and the gap between the low points of two adjacent ablated lines is more than 1.3 millimetres and less than 5.0 millimetres.

Abstract: A container for consumer articles is at least partially formed from a cellulose-fiber based laminar blank having a thickness (T) and defining a portion of the container, which comprises at least a first planar wall and a second planar wall that are connected to one another by a curved edge portion. The curved edge portion has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surface of the curved edge portion defines an ablation area (A), having a length (L) in the longitudinal direction of the curved edge portion and a width (W) that extends across the curved edge portion. The ablation area comprises two or more ablated lines extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the curved edge portion. Each ablated line has a minimum residual thickness (RT) that is less than the thickness (T) of the laminar blank wherein the minimum residual thickness (RT) of each of the two or more ablated lines is at least about 30 percent and less than about 60 percent of the thickness (T) of the blank.
