A product for holding a tobacco material or a tobacco substitute material includes a body defining a storage environment and an electronic device. The electronic device includes an input means to generate an input signal from an external stimulus; an output means to generate an output signal in response to the input signal; wherein at least the output means is arranged on a substrate; and wherein a protective layer is arranged to at least cover the substrate and the output means so as to prevent egression of compounds therefrom to the tobacco material or tobacco substitute material within the storage environment. The electronic device includes an appropriately adapted protective layer A user may therefore assess the freshness and quality of a tobacco material within the product, without any risk or altering the properties of the tobacco material via egression from the electronic device to the storage environment.

A product for holding a tobacco product or a tobacco substitute includes an integrated electronic device with: a power source; an input means comprising a sensor to generate an input signal from an external stimulus; an output means to generate an output signal; digital processing means to process the input signal and deliver a command signal to the output means based at least in part on processing of the input signal; and circuitry connecting the power source, the input means, the output means and the digital processing means; wherein the power source, the input means, the output means, the digital processing means and the circuitry are printed on a substantially flexible substrate. Use of packaging for holding a tobacco product or tobacco substitute includes such a product with an integrated electronic device.

There is provided a package for tobacco products or tobacco related commodities or smoking devices (20; 120; 220; 320), wherein the package (20; 120; 220; 320) includes an information encoding pattern (10; 110). The information encoding pattern comprises at least one first area (12) having a first conductive or dielectric property and at least one second area (14; 14a, 14b, 14c) having a second conductive or dielectric property. The first conductive property is different from the second conductive property and the first dielectric property is different from the second dielectric property. The information encoding pattern is configured to be detectable by a capacitive touch screen (24), e.g. a touch screen of a mobile device (22), such as a smartphone or tablet computer, when the information encoding pattern interacts with the touch screen, i.e. when the information encoding pattern approaches and/or touches the touch screen.

Containers that comprise a housing 12 that comprises a box 14 and a lid 20 that is hingedly attached to the box. The lid comprises a front wall 24 that has an inner surface 22, an outer surface 26 and a bottom edge. The container also comprises an inner package 30 disposed at least partially within the housing 12 and at least partially defining an interior volume for housing consumer goods. The inner package 30 comprises a first layer 40 and a second layer 50. The first layer 40 comprises a flap 44 which is attached to the inner surface 22 of the lid 20 and is configured to be releasably attached to a sealing region 72 of the second layer 50 to open and close the inner package by opening and closing the lid of the container. The container also comprises an insert 60 positioned between the inner surface 17 of the front wall 16 of the box 14 and the outer surface 33 of the front wall 32 of the inner package 30. The insert is positioned entirely below the sealing region 72 and is positioned so that the lowest point of the upper edge 21 of the box is lower than the highest point of the upper edge 35 of the insert.
