Method for producing a plurality of blanks from a continuous strip of material. Firstly, a continuous strip of material (101) is provided, the strip having a plurality of cut-outs (103) spaced along a longitudinal direction thereof. Then, the continuous strip is cut along a plurality of cut lines (203) to form the plurality of blanks (301), each cut line comprising a straight transverse section and a curved section. Each cut line intersects a respective cut-out in the strip in the curved section of the cut line. Each cut line, together with its respective intersected cut-out, corresponds to an edge (303, 305) of at least one of the plurality of blanks. There is also provided a blank (301) formed by the method and a container (400) for consumer goods, the container comprising an inner frame (301) formed from a blank formed according by the method.

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 shoe box may include: a base panel; a roof panel opposite and spaced from the base panel; at least one rear panel coupled to the base panel and the roof panel; at least one front panel coupled to the base panel and the roof panel, wherein the at least one front panel is opposite and spaced from the at least one rear panel, the base panel, and the roof panel, and wherein the at least one rear panel and the at least one front panel form a tubular cavity for receiving at least one shoe therein; and left and right side support structures configured to assist in spacing the base panel from a base of a garment receptacle by a first distance, and configured to assist in spacing the roof panel from a roof of the garment receptacle by a second distance, when the shoe box is inserted into the garment receptacle.
