The present invention relates to a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes, smoking products with filter inserts, smoking products with tobacco sticks and the like, including an internal box (12) with at least one container-like first receiving area (14) for storing goods and an envelope (16) for receiving the internal box (12), wherein the envelope (16) comprises at least one opening (18) or recess (102) for receiving further items in at least one second receiving area (22) formed by the envelope (16) and separated from the first receiving area (14) by a bottom wall (20) of the internal box (12). Furthermore, the invention relates to an envelope for a box for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes, smoking products with filter inserts, smoking products with tobacco sticks and the like, including at least one bottom wall, a front and a rear wall as well as sidewalls connecting the front and rear walls, wherein they form a container-like receiving area for receiving the box. Furthermore, the invention relates to a blank for producing such an envelope.

A box blank useful for forming a container includes a first layer comprising paperboard, a second layer comprising a paper layer and a foil layer, and an adhesive layer adhering the first layer to the second layer, wherein the foil layer is between the paperboard and the paper layer.

Provided herein is a cigarette pack formed of a moisture barrier coated paper material. The paper material includes a base substrate, a first polymer coating, a second polymer coating, and a third polymer coating. The first polymer coating, the second polymer coating, and the third polymer coating provide a barrier for moisture and air exchange through the paper material. The first polymer coating, the second polymer coating, and the third polymer coating also provide heat and pressure sealability capabilities to the paper material.

A laminate for a wrapped bundle of tobacco industry products is disclosed. The laminate comprises an outer layer (3) having a first cut (5) that defines an outer layer region bounded by said first cut, and an inner layer (4) having a second cut (6) that defines an inner layer region bounded by said second cut. The inner layer region lies within the outer layer region. The outer layer region comprises a tab (17) having a remote edge, the tab being for lifting the outer layer region to cause the inner and outer layers to delaminate in a peripheral region between the first and second cuts (5,6) to create an opening in the laminate. The laminate is configured such that said remote edge is exposed. A wrapped bundle (22) of tobacco industry products, and a pack (27), comprising the laminate is also disclosed, together with a method of manufacturing a laminate for a wrapped bundle of tobacco industry products.

A container for consumer goods is formed from a laminar blank (100; 300) having a blank thickness (T1); and a three dimensional element (104; 304) having a thickness (T2) from about 50 micrometres to about 500 micrometres. An inner surface of a first wall of the container comprises an affixing area (108) for at least partly receiving the element (104), the affixing area (108) comprising a debossed or ablated area having a residual thickness (T3) less than the blank thickness. The element (104) is affixed to N the container by means of adhesive provided on the debossed or ablated zone of the affixing area (108). A difference between the blank thickness (T1) and the residual thickness (T3) is less than the element thickness (T2), such that the element (104) projects beyond the inner surface of the container by an incremental thickness (T4) less than the element thickness (T2). Further, the container comprises a thickness compensating means (112; 312) on a region of the inner surface of the container.

A tobacco industry product pack having a container including a base having a front panel and a rear panel spaced from each other by side panels, and a lid hingedly attached to the rear panel a wrapped bundle of tobacco industry products, having a portion extending from the base and which is received in the lid when the lid is closed, is received in the container, the wrapped bundle includes a barrier material having a front surface facing the front panel, a rear surface facing the rear panel, a side surface facing each side panel, and an upper end panel that meets the front, rear and side surfaces at upper front edge, upper rear edge and upper short edge folds respectively, where the barrier material is fin-sealed to form a seam along each side surface, and a seam retainer is attached to the base that partially extends over each of the side surfaces of the portion of the wrapped bundle extending from the base to retain each seam against its side surface.

Packaging for tobacco industry products is disclosed. The packaging comprises a pack (2) for holding tobacco industry products, and an outer wrapper (3) enveloping the pack. The outer wrapper comprises a removable portion (17) arranged to prevent opening of the pack until the removable portion has been removed. One of the pack and the removable portion comprises a tamper evident feature that remains attached to the other of the pack or the removable portion after the removable portion is removed from the pack. A method of packaging tobacco industry products is also disclosed.

A container for consumer goods includes a rigid outer box having a hinged lid configured to provide access to an inner volume of the outer box, and a rigid inner box comprising panels separated by fold lines and assembled from an inner box blank. The inner box blank includes a top front panel separated from a top panel by a first transverse fold line, a back panel separated from the top panel by a second transverse fold line, a bottom panel separated from the back panel by a third transverse fold line, a bottom front panel separated from the bottom panel by a fourth transverse fold line, and the top panel and top front panel include side flaps. The inner box blank comprises a plurality of layers including paperboard and bundle wrap.

In an example embodiment, a slide-action hinged-lid pack comprises a hinged-lid inner pack configured to hold consumer items, the hinged-lid inner pack including a front wall, a back wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, a bottom wall and a hinged-lid pivotally connected to an upper end of the back wall for movement between an open position and a closed position, and an outer shell, and wherein the hinged-lid inner pack can slide from a first position at which the hinged-lid is in the closed position to a second position at which the hinged-lid is in the open position, the outer shell including a first stop tab on an inner side of the back wall, the hinged-lid inner pack including a second stop tab on a tongue extending from the hinged-lid, and the hinged-lid inner pack including a third stop tab on the back wall of the hinged-lid inner pack, the second stop tab operable to engage the first stop tab during movement of the hinged-lid inner pack from the first positon to the second position, and the third stop tab operable to abut the second stop tab when the hinged-lid inner pack is moved to the second position.
