Description
- The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to packaging, in particular for rolled smoking articles, such as cigarettes, cigars and the like. The invention further encompasses a method for packaging, and packages, particularly packages of rolled smoking articles, produced according to this method.
- Conventionally, packaging for rolled smoking articles such as cigarettes comprises a robust paper or cardboard packet. The packet may comprise a box arranged to open at one end thereof; one such packet well known in the art comprises a hinged top. Typically, the packet is cuboidal in shape, having rectangular side, front and rear walls, and is sized to accommodate between ten and twenty cigarettes. The packet is therefore conveniently sized to be placed within the pocket or handbag of a user.
- A cigarette box of this type is described in US-A-5938017, which discloses a box adapted to assist smokers in quitting smoking. The cigarette box described in US-A-5938017 is cuboidal in shape, and is adapted to accommodate a plurality of cigarettes and/or plugs in place of cigarettes.
- US-A-5513752 meanwhile describes a package for an audio cassette tape and a booklet of lyrics. The package described in US-A-5513752 is also cuboidal in shape, and has a hinged or flip-top.
- For various reasons, particularly to assist in combatting counterfeiting, it is desirable to enable the tracing of cigarette packets from manufacturer to consumer, such that details of the time and place of sale and use of particular packets or batches of packets can be made known to the manufacturer, distributor, or another interested party. This may be conveniently achieved by associating electronic data with each cigarette packet, which data may subsequently be traced by the interested party. There is a need in the art for a convenient means for enabling the association of electronic data with a conventional cigarette packet.
- According to one aspect of the present invention therefore there is provided a packaging for rolled smoking articles, which packaging comprises a rectilinear container that is adapted to contain a plurality of rolled smoking articles, said container having a substantially flat wall with inner and outer surfaces; characterised in that said packaging comprises a compact disc carrying electronic data assembled with said container, and holding means for holding said compact disc contiguous the inner or outer surface of said wall; wherein said compact disc comprises a shape having an outer edge and an annular data-carrying zone that is disposed wholly within said outer edge, and is arranged such that said outer edge is disposed wholly within the area of said inner or outer surface.
- Said compact disc may carry electronic data associated with said packaging, and may be formatted such that use of the disc by a consumer will enable access by an interested third party to said data. Additionally or alternatively, said compact disc may carry electronic data to enable the user for example to download or access software, information, music, or the like on the Internet. Said compact disc may be adapted to carry up to 5MB or more of electronic data.
- Said packaging may be handled without the risk of damaging said compact disc, owing to the fact that said compact disc is held flat against said flat wall, and is disposed wholly within the area of the inner or outer surface of said flat wall so that no part of the compact disc protrudes outside the area of the wall.
- In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of packaging rolled smoking articles, comprising the steps of providing a rectilinear container adapted to contain said rolled smoking articles, said container having a substantially flat wall with inner and outer surfaces and placing said rolled smoking articles in said container; characterised by assembling a compact disc carrying electronic data with said container; such that said compact disc is held contiguous the inner or outer surface of said wall by holding means; wherein said compact disc comprises a shape having an outer edge and an annular data-carrying zone that is disposed wholly within said outer edge, and is assembled with said container such that said outer edge is disposed wholly within the area of said inner or outer surface.
- In yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a package for rolled smoking articles, comprising rolled smoking articles packaged by a packaging in accordance with the present invention.
- Preferably, said compact disc comprises a shape which corresponds to said wall. In particularly preferred embodiments, said wall is rectangular in shape, and said compact disc also comprises a rectangular shape, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the rectangular shape of said wall. Thus, when assembled with said container, said compact disc entirely covers said inner or outer surface of the wall.
- In one aspect of the present invention, said holding means may be arranged to hold said compact disc contiguous said outer surface of the wall. Said holding means may comprise an outer wrapping, such as a plastic film wrapping, which is arranged to envelope said container and said compact disc, thereby holding said compact disc contiguous said outer surface of the wall. Alternatively or additionally, said holding means may comprise an adhesive, such as a hot-melt adhesive of the kind well known to those skilled in the art, which is adapted to affix said compact disc directly to said outer surface of the wall. The exposed surface of said compact disc may optionally be coloured and/or decorated, for example so as to resemble said outer surface of the wall.
- In another aspect of the present invention, said holding means may be arranged to hold said compact disc contiguous said inner surface of the wall. Optionally, said holding means may comprise an inner wrapping which is adapted to enfold said rolled smoking articles; the arrangement being such that said compact disc is interposed said inner wrapping and said inner surface of the wall.
- Typically, said rolled smoking articles will comprise cigarettes or cigars. Said rolled smoking articles may however comprise other substantially cylindrical tobacco products, such as cigarillos.
- Advantageously, said container may comprise a paper or cardboard packet, preferably with a hinge- or flip-topped lid. In some embodiments, an inner wrapping is provided for enfolding said rolled smoking products. Preferably, said inner wrapping can be resealed, so as to preserve the freshness of said rolled smoking articles.
