  • Cuboid packet for cigarettes and blank for the packet
    Patent number: 5957280
    Abstract: Hard packets for cigarettes are produced from thin cardboard. To form a removal aperture, a hinged lid (18) extending on one side, diagonally off-center, is provided. This lid forms in the region of an end wall (17) of the packet a line joint as a hinged connection to join the hinged lid (18) to the remaining portion of the packet. A lid side wall (21) forms a closing or insertion tab (36), which, after the packet has been used for the first time, can be pushed into an insertion position between a side wall (14) and the contents of the packet, i.e. a block of cigarettes (11).
