Abstract: A laminate for a wrapped bundle of tobacco industry products is disclosed. The laminate comprises an outer layer (3) having a first cut (5) that defines an outer layer region bounded by said first cut, and an inner layer (4) having a second cut (6) that defines an inner layer region bounded by said second cut. The inner layer region lies within the outer layer region. The outer layer region comprises a tab (17) having a remote edge, the tab being for lifting the outer layer region to cause the inner and outer layers to delaminate in a peripheral region between the first and second cuts (5,6) to create an opening in the laminate. The laminate is configured such that said remote edge is exposed. A wrapped bundle (22) of tobacco industry products, and a pack (27), comprising the laminate is also disclosed, together with a method of manufacturing a laminate for a wrapped bundle of tobacco industry products.

Abstract: An elongate web of wrapping material having a longitudinal axis and a series of lines of weakening spaced from each other in a direction along the axis is disclosed. Each line of weakening is configured to form an extraction opening for the removal of smoking articles from a bundle of smoking articles wrapped in a longitudinal section of the wrapping material cut from the web. A portion of each line of weakening extends in a longitudinal direction, and at least a part of said portion extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis. A method of manufacturing an elongate web of wrapping material is also disclosed.
