The rear panel (350) of the lid (300) is hinged to the rear panel (150) of the container (100) so that the lid (300) is movable relative to the container (100) between a closed position, at which the lid (300) blocks the opening (106) with the inner frame (200) projecting into the cavity (304) of the lid (300), and an open position, at which the lid (300) does not block the opening (106).

The present invention relates to a package for smoking articles comprising a container portion (2) and a lid (3) hingedly connected to the container portion (2) about a hinge line (5). The container portion (2) has an inner frame (19) and an outer frame (18). The lid (3) includes an end portion (15) and a lid wall (12) extending from the end portion (15) that overlaps a container wall (6) of the container portion (2) when closed, the container wall (6) having a locking element (27) that locates over a corresponding locking part (35) on the lid wall (12) and a recess (24) formed in the inner frame (19) extending from an upper edge (20) of the inner frame (19). In one embodiment, a lower edge (25) of the recess (24) is spaced further from the upper edge (20) of the container wall (6) than the locking element (27). In another embodiment, the recess (24) extends into the second container wall (8).

A lid for a pack for consumer goods, in particular a pack for smoking articles, comprising a container and a lid being pivotable about a hinge with a lid top wall, a lid front wall, a lid back wall and two opposite lid side walls, wherein the lid further comprises a reinforcement structure bonded to a contact surface of the lid top wall comprising a lid top wall counter panel, a first stabilizing flap and a second stabilizing flap, and wherein the reinforcement structure is further configured such that at least a part of an edge of the first stabilizing flap is aligned with at least part of a first edge of the lid top wall counter panel and at least a part of an edge of the second stabilizing flap is aligned with at least part of a second edge of the lid top wall counter panel.

A container for consumer goods and a laminar blank (300) for forming such a container. The laminar blank defines a portion of the container, which comprises: a first planar wall (322); a second planar wall (314) connected to the first planar wall (322) by a first modified edge portion (3140) forming a bevelled edge portion of the container; and a third planar wall (316) connected to the first planar wall (322) by a second modified edge portion (3130) forming a curved edge portion of the container. The longitudinal direction of the first modified edge portion (3140) being transverse to the longitudinal direction of the second modified edge portion (3130); the first modified edge portion (3140) and the second modified edge portion (3130) forming, when the container is assembled from the laminar blank, adjacent edge portions of the container meeting at a junction.

A hinge-lid package has a box body (8) and a lid (6) which are formed from a blank. The box body (8) and the lid (6) have rounded edges (16 and 18) as longitudinal edges thereof. The rounded edge (16 and 18) has an arc-like shape created by a groove pattern formed only in the inner surface of the rounded edge. The groove pattern makes the corresponding lattice design (F) appear in the outer surface of the rounded edge (16 and 18).

A blank (300) for forming a container for consumer articles comprises panels (308, 309, 312, 314) for forming corresponding walls of the container. First side panels (311) extend from the rear wall panel (312) and second side panels (310) extend from the front wall panel (308). When assembling the container, the first and the second side panels overlap to form at least part of left and right side walls. The first side panels or the second side panels or both are connected to the respective one of the rear wall panel and the front wall panel by modified edge portions (3100, 3110, 3120, 3130). The blank comprises a pair of flaps extending from the first side panels or the second side panels or both.

Container for consumer articles, the container being at least partially formed from a laminar blank (100), the laminar blank defining a portion of the container, which comprises: a first planar wall (101); a second planar wall (102) connected to the first planar wall by a first modified edge portion (104); and a third planar wall (103) connected to the first planar wall by a second modifled edge portion (105). The first modified edge portion is defmed by an ablation area, on its inner surface, comprising one or more ablated lines (201-206) each having a residual thickness less than the thickness (T) of the laminar blank, the first modified edge portion an end portion tapering from a width (W) of the first portion to a point at the junction with the second modified edge portion. The second modified edge portion is defmed by a plurality of creasing lines (300).

The present invention relates to a blank (10) for producing a three-dimensional structure of paper, cardboard or plastic, in particular. The invention further relates to a three-dimensional structure produced from the blank, a folding box for storing goods, in particular a folding box made from cardboard, paper or the like as well as to a method for producing the blank (10).

A container for consumer articles is at least partially formed from a cellulose-fiber based laminar blank having a thickness (T) and defining a portion of the container, which comprises at least a first planar wall and a second planar wall that are connected to one another by a curved edge portion. The curved edge portion has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surface of the curved edge portion defines an ablation area (A), having a length (L) in the longitudinal direction of the curved edge portion and a width (W) that extends across the curved edge portion. The ablation area comprises two or more ablated lines extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the curved edge portion. Each ablated line has a minimum residual thickness (RT) that is less than the thickness (T) of the laminar blank wherein the minimum residual thickness (RT) of each of the two or more ablated lines is at least about 30 percent and less than about 60 percent of the thickness (T) of the blank. The gap between the low points of two adjacent ablated lines is more than 0.2 millimetres and less than 1.6 millimetres.
