  • This has the connecting or joint flap, which is formed as part or as an extension of a collar front wall at the bottom of the collar. In order to bring the joint flap in the operative position, it requires a folding over of the extension against the collar front wall.
  • a in this position of the joint flap upwardly directed edge strip is connected to the inside of the outer pack by gluing.
  • the object underlying the invention is therefore to make the blanks for the outer packing and / or for the inner part machine-friendly.
  • the package according to the invention is characterized in that the hinge or connecting strap formed as part of the (inner) front wall of the inner pack or the inner part by an approximately U-shaped punching and a free, a top or end wall the pack facing end-side portion is attached to the outside on the inside of the outer front wall, in particular by gluing.
  • the procedure according to the invention is that the inner packing or a separate inner part is manufactured in a first working step and attached to the contents of the package - cigarette block - or folded around it.
  • the formed inner unit is wrapped by a blank of the outer package.
  • the packaging steps expediently proceed in successive or adjacent folding turrets of essentially conventional design.
  • the connecting means namely glue, is mounted on the outside of the joint flap, so that when folding the blank for the outer pack it is connected without additional work step with the joint flap.
  • a further feature according to the invention consists in that the inner packing surrounds the contents of the package at least in the region of a front side, in the region of a rear side and in the region of the bottom, and preferably also has side walls of overlapping inside side tabs.
  • the inner pack is formed approximately cup-shaped, wherein the inner front wall acts in the upper region as (conventional) collar of a pack of the type folding box.
  • the inner package and the outer package are connected to one another in the area of rear walls, that is to say the inner rear wall and the outer rear wall, in particular by bonding in an upper, frontal region and at the bottom in a bottom region.
  • a rear edge facing the transverse edge of the outer bottom wall forms the line joint for pivoting the part packs of the outer pack.
  • an inner part - instead of an inner packing - designed in the manner of a collar and provided with preferably two adjacent joint or joint plates. Between these, a web is formed centrally to stabilize the front wall of the inner part or of the collar.
