Embodiments relate to a container for an elongate electronic nicotine delivery system or other flavored vapor delivery system. The container has a rigid elongate body which defines a chamber including an end and an insert received in the end having first and ancillary openings that lead into the chamber. The insert includes a dividing wall to separate the first and ancillary openings in the insert so that an elongate electronic nicotine delivery system inserted into the chamber through the first opening protrudes therefrom and is supported in an upright position within the chamber by the insert. A lid is pivotally attached to the body so that it covers the first and ancillary openings in the insert in a closed position.

Package for a smoking article with an elongated shape; the package comprises: a front wall; a rear wall opposite the front wall; a lower wall, which connects the front wall to the rear wall; an upper wall, which is parallel to and opposite the lower wall and connects the front wall to the rear wall; and an intermediate wall, which is parallel to the lower wall and to the upper wall, is arranged between the lower wall and the upper wall, and has a through hole, through which the smoking article is arranged; in the area comprised between the intermediate wall and the upper wall there are no side walls arranged perpendicularly to the front, rear, lower and upper walls, so that the smoking article can be seen from the side.

A tobacco product is formed by perforated cigar or shell, the shell comprising a sheet of material with an intermediate sheet, the sheet comprising tobacco leaves and/or homogenized tobacco paper. The cigar or shell is packaged for shipment to an end user or consumer. The cigar or shell remains in the rolled, shaped tube form inside the package. After the cigar or shell is removed from the package, a consumer can fill the cigar or shell with crushed tobacco leaves or other tobacco filler material of a favorite blend, thereby eliminating some steps in the making of a roll-your-own tobacco product. A liquid can be added to the cigar or shell to moisturize same. The liquid can include flavoring.

At least one example embodiment discloses an article carrier for an electrical vaping device. The article carrier may include a base portion, a lid portion and a hinge. The base portion may include a first edge region and the lid portion includes a second edge region. The hinge may include a connector band and first and second anchors. The connector band connects the first edge region of the base portion to the second edge region of the lid portion and may include a recessed top portion and a relieved lower portion. The recessed top portion may include a recess. And the relieved lower portion may include a relief for receiving the first and second edge regions.

A package for preserving freshness and storing elongated items. The package is preferably biodegradable, substantially airtight, child resistant and reusable. Various seal constructions are described for sealing a case body portion against a case lid portion. The respective sealing surfaces of the case lid portion and case body portion are complementary, but spaced. A continuous elastomeric seal is provided in the seal space between the complementary sealing surfaces. The seal is configured to be compressed along the entire sealing length of the sealing surface when the case lid portion is pivoted into the latched position. The compressed elastomeric seal provides a spring force that retains the latch in the latched position and a spring force that is resolved into sealing vectors perpendicular to the sealing surface along the entire length of the sealing surface to ensure a seal along the sealing surface.

A thin-walled polypropylene product display tube. The thin-walled polypropylene product display tube includes a tubular member having a closed end, an open end, an inner diameter and, between the closed end and the open end, a first outer diameter, the open end terminating in a flared portion having a second outer diameter, the tubular member having a wall thickness sufficient to yield a level of haze equal to or less than 8%. A process for forming a thin-walled polypropylene product display tube is also provided.

Forming unit (A) and forming method to manufacture a group of articles (14), wherein the articles (14) are arranged at a given distance from one another. The following are provided: a forming conveyor (26) which moves at least one forming box (27) along a forming path (P2): a hopper (24), which is arranged along the forming path (P2) and is provided with at least one output mouth (25) comprising a plurality of dividing walls (31) defining channels (32), each configured to contain a vertical stack of articles (14); and an extractor (29), which is configured to extract the group of articles (14) from the channels (32) of the output mouth (25) and to insert the group into the forming box (27) by means of a work stroke, which is perpendicular to the forming path (P2). The forming box (27) has aa plurality of through holes (28) with a cylindrical shape, each being separate from and independent of the other through holes ((2288)) and being designed to house a corresponding single article (14) of the group.

A method, system, and apparatus for displaying tobacco products comprises an enclosure and at least one product tray inside the enclosure, the product tray comprising a base, a frame formed around the base, and a series of display bars disposed in the frame, the display bars including a series of product stand holes for displaying the tobacco products individually and vertically.
