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 scoring rule for forming a folding score on a sheet material includes a pair of score members with a scoring surface portions with individually asymmetrical flat outer surfaces extending at an angle. The score members press against a first side of the sheet material to cause a pair of laterally spaced fold score lines to be formed on the first side of the sheet material by the scoring surface portions. As the scoring rule engages the sheet material, a second, opposite side of the sheet material is compressed such that rubber-type material of an anvil of the rotary press bulges towards and forces the sheet material into an area between the pair of score members causing a self-contained single longitudinally inwardly extending groove to be formed on the second, opposite side of the sheet material along a line parallel to and positioned between the laterally spaced score lines.
