There is provided a container for consumer articles, the container being at least partially formed from a blank defining a portion of the container, which comprises a first planar wall; a second planar wall connected to the first planar wall by a first edge portion; and a third planar wall connected to the first planar wall by a second edge portion. The longitudinal direction of the first edge portion is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the second edge portion. The first edge portion and the second edge portion form, when the container is assembled from the laminar blank, adjacent edges of the container meeting at a junction. Each of the first and the second edge portions have an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surfaces of the first and second edge portions define a first ablation area (A1) and a second ablation area (A2), respectively. Each ablation area (A1, A2) comprises one or more ablated zones with a residual thickness less than the thickness (T) of the laminar blank and a length in the longitudinal direction of the respective edge portion and a respective width extending transversely to the length. At least one of the first and second ablation areas (A1, A2) comprises a first portion and an end portion extending from the first portion. The end portion tapers from a width (W) of the first portion to a point at the junction with the other one of the first and second ablation areas (A1, A2).

A packaging for products of the tobacco industry, wherein the packaging has a box portion and a lid which is pivotably arranged on the box portion by means of a line hinge, and wherein a packaging content is arranged in the box portion, and wherein the packaging has a collar which at least partially surrounds the packaging content at several sides and which protrudes with the packaging content from the box portion which is open at the top. There is provision for walls of the collar to extend from a front side of the box portion up to the region of an opposing rear side of the box portion on which the line hinge is also located. A method and an apparatus for producing such a packaging.

A container of consumer goods comprises a housing (10a) and one or more consumer goods (18) wrapped in a wrapper (20) and contained within the housing (10a), the wrapper (20) comprising a plurality of intersecting lines of weakness (22) that together define a plurality of interconnected detachable portions (24) of the wrapper (20).

A container of consumer goods (18) comprises a housing (10) comprising a box (12) and a lid (14) closing the box. The consumer goods are wrapped in a wrapper (20) and contained within the housing (10), the wrapper (20) being partially exposed when the lid (14) is open and having a removable portion (22) that can be removed when the lid (14) is open to expose the consumer goods (18). The removable portion (22) of the wrapper (20) has a first part that is visible when the lid (14) is open and a second part that underlies one or more walls of the box (12) and is not visible when the lid (14) is open and the second part of the removable portion (22) of the wrapper (20) carries one or more indicia that are visually distinct from the part of the wrapper (20) that is exposed when the lid (14) is open.

The present invention relates to packaging for tobacco industry products and, more particularly, packages comprising a label having a tab. A package comprises a barrier material for enclosing one or more tobacco industry products, the barrier material having a region which, in use, forms an aperture, and a label formed from two or more layers which overlie the region, the label having a tab formed from one or more layers, but not all layers, of the two or more layers of the label.

The invention relates to packaging for tobacco industry products and, particularly but not exclusively, to packages comprising a label having a tab. A barrier material encloses one or more tobacco industry products and has a region which, in use, forms an aperture over which is positioned the label. The tab at least partially overlies the region.

A method for producing packs for cigarettes, in which at least one group of cigarettes is wrapped in an inner wrapper and is introduced into a pocket of a folding turret and therein is packed in a blank for the pack, and a corresponding apparatus and to a pack for cigarettes. At least one dimension of the at least one cigarette group does not correspond to the respective dimension of the interior space of the pack, the at least one deviating dimension is equalized by at least one filler piece, and the at least one filler piece is wrapped in the inner wrapper conjointly with at least one cigarette group.
