A container for consumer articles (20) comprises a box portion (31) comprising a box front wall (32), a box rear wall (36) and two box side walls (38) extending between the box front wall and the box rear wall. The container further comprises an inner frame (10) comprising an inner frame front wall (12) and inner frame side walls (14), wherein the inner frame front wall (12) is arranged parallel and at a predefined distance to the box front wall (32). The container further comprises an additional flap (50) comprising at least two opposing side edges, the first side edge (52) being attached to an upper edge of the box front wall (32), the second side edge (54) contacting the lower edge (12d) of the inner frame front wall.

A pouch with multiple tear areas is provided. In one embodiment instructions are provided for resealing with heat. In one embodiment a zip-lock type reseal can be used in place of one of the multiple tear areas.

A multifunction accessory for an electronic device is provided. The multifunction accessory may include a back member, a shade member, a mirror, a plurality of support members, and a plurality of brackets. A hinge mechanism may connect the back member to the shade member and hinges may connect the shade member and support members. The mirror may be coupled to the shade member. The brackets may be coupled to the back member and the support members may be removably coupled to the brackets.

Provided herein is a moisture barrier film for packaging, such as tobacco or cigarette packaging. The film comprises polylactic acid (PLA) that is both biodegradable and transparent. The film includes multiple layers of PLA, with a base layer having a relatively high melting point compared to two outer layers, which have a relatively low melting point. The outer layers provide heat sealing capabilities to the film. The film is coated with a metal oxide layer comprised of aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, and/or aluminum-titanium oxide using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating method. The ALD coating to the PLA film results in a moisture transmission rate of less than 4 g/m2/day after the film has been subjected to creasing, which induces cracking of the ALD metal oxide layer.

The present invention relates generally to electronic smoking devices and in particular to a tray for at least a portion of an electronic smoking device. The tray (100) comprises at least one cavity (101) for containing the portion. The tray (100) is configured to be reversibly deformed from a default form into a deformed form by finger interaction with interaction elements of the tray (100) having a distance to each other of at least 90% of the average distance between thumb tip and index finger tip or a middle finger tip of an adult. The tray (100) is configured to return to the default form once the finger interaction is terminated. The default form provides the at least one cavity (101) for containing the portion in an inaccessible manner and the deformed form is required for accessing the portion.

A non-combusting cigarette substitute device has an elongated tubular casing occupied by a filter portion of a first porous material in proximity to a first end and a substitute portion of a second porous material spanning between the filter portion and an opposing second end. The second porous material has a density which is greater than a density of the first porous material. Overall, the densities of the first and second porous materials are suitable to readily permit air to be drawn through the tubular casing in response to suction supplied by a user to imitate the draw of a conventional cigarette. A flavouring agent is applied in an effective amount to the device such that vapors released from the flavouring agent impart a taste to the air drawn through the tubular casing.

A smoking article provides one or more sheets of material that can be rolled and packaged, at least one sheet including cellulose. In one embodiment, cellulose and tobacco sheet material are separately rolled layers that can optionally be wrapped around a form casing (or pre-rolled inside) and then packaged. In another embodiment, the sheet is a laminated sheet of tobacco and cellulose layers that can be optionally wrapped around (or pre-rolled inside) a form casing. These sheets can be filled with custom tobacco to make one or more new cigars for an end user. In another embodiment, a complete cigar filled with tobacco material can be disassembled by an end user to produce tobacco and cellulose sheets, enabling the end user to form two new cigars using his or her own custom tobacco.

A packaging container for a tobacco product is provided. The packaging container comprises a housing including a flexible wall portion having an electrical device printed or placed on an exterior surface thereof, and a power source contained within the interior of the housing and configured to power the electrical device. The flexible wall portion comprises a layer including a nanocellulose coating configured to level the exterior surface for receipt of the electrical device, and a layer including a moisture vapor barrier configure to resist diffusion of moisture through the exterior surface and into an interior of the housing.
