A packaged assembly of a hermetically sealed container and cigarette, and method of forming the assembly. The container is hermetically sealed for airtight conditions for freshness, whereby an interior space is either filled with an inert gas or is evacuated down to a pressure close to 0 atm to remove substantially all air (oxygen) from within. The container may be clear glass to afford good visibility of the cigarette within an interior space thereof. However, a relatively large label may be affixed to the exterior of the container to occlude most of the light from reaching the cigarette.

In an example embodiment, a pack for tobacco articles comprises an inner sleeve, and an outer box comprising front and back covers that allow access to the inner sleeve when the outer box is opened. The inner sleeve can include a front connecting panel pivotally connecting a front wall of the inner sleeve to an inner surface of the front cover and a back connecting panel pivotally connecting a back wall of the inner sleeve to an inner surface of the back cover. A slot in the outer box is configured to allow opening of the outer box by applying pressure against a bottom wall of the inner sleeve.

A container (1) for consumer goods, the container comprises an outer sleeve (20) and inner tray (10) disposed within the outer sleeve (20), and configured to slide within the outer sleeve (20) between: a first position, in which the interior of the inner tray (10) cannot be accessed by a user; and a second position, in which the interior of the inner tray (10) can be accessed by a user. The container (1) has a locking mechanism for preventing the inner tray (10) from sliding with respect to the outer sleeve from the first position to the second position, when the inner tray (10) is in the first position in the outer sleeve (20).

A packet of smoking articles and method for manufacturing the same, wherein the packet comprises: a group of smoking articles; a wrapping, which encloses the group of smoking articles and that comprises an extraction opening, defined by an edge, for extracting the smoking articles from the wrapping; a closing label, which is fixed to the wrapping and that is mobile between a closing position, in which it closes the extraction opening, and an opening position, in which the access to the group of smoking articles is allowed; a covering element, which is fixed to the closing label and that faces and covers the extraction opening when the closing label is in the closing position.

A packaging machine for producing packs with a group of cigarettes as pack content, having individual manufacturing units which are arranged adjacent to one another on a manufacturing line and which are (non-destructively) separable from one another in each case in the region of or along (imaginary) parting planes between them and are removable from the manufacturing line as required, wherein the packaging machine can be converted from a first configuration, in which a first pack type can be manufactured, into a second configuration, in which a second pack type which differs from the first pack type can be manufactured, by removing at least one separable manufacturing unit from the manufacturing line, by replacing at least one separable manufacturing unit with another separable manufacturing unit and/or by adding at least one further separable manufacturing unit to the manufacturing line.

The present disclosure relates to a package for a delivery system. The package includes a container and a lid hingedly connected to the container about a hinge line, and an inner frame received in the container. The inner frame has a portion that extends from the container which is received in the lid when the lid is closed. The package further includes a raised seal line that is formed on the portion of the inner frame and/or on an inner surface of the lid. The raised seal line is configured to minimize a gap between the portion of the inner frame and the inner surface of the lid when the lid is closed. The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacturing the package.

A package with a sliding opening for consumer goods can include a group of consumer goods; a container that is tub-shaped, which contains the group of consumer goods and comprises an extraction opening for the extraction of consumer goods; a closing label, which is fixed in a repositionable manner to the first container to open and close the extraction opening; a covering of the first container, which is made starting from a blank of wrapping material; a casing made starting from a blank of wrapping material. The casing is arranged externally to the covering and is slidingly coupled to the covering to be movable between a closing position, in which access to the group of consumer goods is not allowed, and an opening position, in which access to the group of consumer goods is allowed.

An airtight wrapper having an assembly wrapped by a wrapping sheet made of a weldable material creating a group of smoking articles obtained by: positioning the folded wrapping sheet to contact walls, front rear and head wall of the assembly, with flaps protruding beyond bottom and lateral walls; welding lower and upper flaps, and defining a transverse edge; folding the welded transverse edge rotating it by 180° toward the front wall; folding the upper and lower transverse flaps; folding the upper and lower transverse flaps; folding the rear and front longitudinal flaps, and partly also the transverse edge, toward the lower lateral walls, overlapping one on top of the other above the transverse flaps, and finally welding them to seal the airtight wrapper.
