Abstract: Disclosed is a closing aid for cigarette packs of the hinged lid type, comprising vertical webs (31) of a collar (12) and an inner lid fold (25) located on the interior face of a front wall (19) of the lid. Said inner lid fold (25) is provided with lateral recesses (37) whose relative position is selected such that the threading process of the webs (31) into an interlocked position with the inner lid fold (25) is initiated when a maximum edge pressure is attained on top transversal edges (35) of the collar (12).

Abstract: In order to manufacture folding packets having a packet part (11), a lid (12) and a collar (13), a single-piece blank is used, in which a collar (13) is connected to a main blank (14) via connecting webs (15, 16). The collar (13) is connected to a connecting web (15) via an edge-side collar folding line, and the connecting webs (15, 16) are connected to the main blank (14) via transversely oriented web folding lines (41, 42), with the result that the collar (13) can be moved into the position with two folding steps which follow one another.

Abstract: A hinge-lid pack for cigarettes or other items usually consists of a box part and lid. In the closed position, the pack exhibits upright pack edges, namely longitudinal edges (29, 30) and transverse edges (31, 32, 33, 34). The longitudinal edges (29, 30) or transverse edges (31 . . . 34) are configured as a projection (35) or recess (40) having a round cross-section.

Abstract: A cigarette pack of the hinge-lid-box type is provided with predominantly or fully rounded side walls (19, 20) and lid side walls (24, 25). The side walls here are made up of a plurality of rounded regions with different radii, and also with a planar central side strip.

Abstract: Hinge-lid box for cigarettes or other packaged items, comprising a box part (10), lid (11) and collar (12) with a closure aid for the lid (11). Inwardly directed protrusions, namely anchoring tabs (37), are arranged on the inside of a lid front wall (21) or of a lid inner flap (28) and, in the closed position, interact, by form-fitting engagement, with recesses in the region of a collar front wall (32). The depressions in the region of the collar front wall (32) are positioned immediately above a mating closure edge (30) formed by a box front wall (14), with the anchoring tabs (37) arranged appropriately on the lid inner flap (28).
