Abstract: In the production of packs with outer wrappers which have a tear-open strip (12), the latter of continuous material strips (18), for the purpose of severing the tear-open strips (12), are provided with printing, markings (24), etc. Moreover, the film webs (13) from which the outer wrappers are made also are preferably provided with markings, printing or printed marks (25). Sensing elements help to detect the relative positions of the tear-open strip (12) and the film webs (13) on account of the printing and the drive of the film web (13) and/or of the material strip (18) is controlled accordingly.

Abstract: In an information cassette for receiving exchangeable information carriers including a carrier housing, the carrier housing has bent over top and bottom end walls and a T-shaped center web so as to form two information carrier sections covered by hinge lids on which the information carriers can be mounted and which have bottom walls with springs on which the hinge lids are seated in the carrier housing and which resiliently bias the hinge lids upwardly such that the top ends of the hinge lids are engaged behind the front edges of the bent-over carrier housing top end wall or the T-shaped center web, respectively.
