  • the invention relates to a folding box with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a package is in EP 1 532 058 B1 shown and described.
  • the folding box with a (closed) opening in the area of the box front wall is set up so that printing or embossing (in the case of tinfoil) of an inner blank, that is to say a wrapping of the group of cigarettes, is visible from the outside via the opening of the box front wall.
  • a collar front wall is provided for this purpose either with a matching opening which is aligned with the printing of the cigarette block on the one hand and the opening of the box front wall on the other.
  • the collar may be formed so that the printing or the opening of the box front wall are not covered.
  • a pack of the type folding box is known ( US 5,826,785 ), in which the collar front wall is provided with an imprint (pictogram, emblem).
  • the box front wall of the folding box has a recess which is (initially) closed by a removable cover. The user can remove this cover (after removing an outer wrap of the foil package) and then recognize the imprint of the collar front wall.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cigarette pack of the type folding box, are mounted in the representations while avoiding (color) imprints so that they are recognizable even when fully closed pack and beyond mediate a three-dimensional appearance.
  • the package according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is formed.
  • the inwardly directed embossment of the collar front wall in the region of an opening or recess of the box front wall is visible even with the lid closed and existing outer wrapping made of foil.
  • the inward embossing also forms a support of the contents of the package, ie a cigarette block (group of cigarettes with inner wrapper). Due to the slightly larger formation of the embossing than the contour of the opening or recess, a three-dimensional design arises in the region of the opening or recess for the viewer.
  • the embossing of the collar front wall can be produced in a simple manner, namely in the course of the usual production of a collar by a collar apparatus. In the separation of the collar of a material web is embossed by the appropriately trained collar apparatus.
  • the embossing is preferably designed so that it is aligned structurally and / or constructively on the shape or contour of the punching. With a corresponding size of the punched collar front wall can be increased accordingly.
  • a recess which is open at least on one side is provided in the outer package wall, in particular a depression on an upper edge region of the box front wall. This also forms a continuation of a box closing edge of the folding box.
  • the embossing - in the collar front wall - have special graphs or even Information contained or generally be executed in any structure, for example, consist of arranged in rows of knobs.
  • a cigarette pack of the hinge lid type (Hinge Lid).
  • This usually consists of a (lower) chess part 10 and a lid 11.
  • the pack parts are connected to each other in the rear area via a transverse line joint 12, so that the lid 11 from a closed position according to Fig. 2 in an open position according to Fig. 1 can be moved.
  • Box part 10 and lid 11 form a common, one-piece blank of (thin) cardboard.
  • the box part 10 has a box front wall 13, a bottom wall 14 and a box rear wall 15. Accordingly, the lid 11 consists of the lid front wall 16, end wall 17 and lid rear wall 18.
  • the lid front wall 16 is formed predominantly in two layers, namely by a folded against the inside of the lid front wall 16 lid Inennlappen 19. Also narrow, Upright box side walls 20 and corresponding lid side walls 21 are double-layered, consist of outer and inner side lobes.
  • the collar of this type further includes a collar 22 having a collar front wall 23 and collar side flaps 24.
  • the collar 22 is positioned in the box member 10 such that the collar front wall 23 is secured to at least a lower portion on the inside of the box.
  • Front wall 13 rests and is connected thereto, in this case by glue points 25.
  • the collar protrudes with an upper part 26 of the box part 10 out. This upper part 26 is covered with the lid 11 thereof.
  • the package has at least one recess, opening or the like formed by punching or cutting in an outer wall and a special design of the associated inner wall in the region of this recess.
  • the box front wall 13 is provided with a particular attached by punching opening 27.
  • This is exemplarily formed in a special way, namely shows in the contours of the representation of an animal (horse).
  • the (closed all around) opening is disposed in an upper portion of the box front wall 13, spaced from an upper edge, namely closing edge 28 of the box front wall thirteenth
  • the inner wall associated with the opening 27 is formed by the collar 22, namely by the collar front wall 23. This lies on the inside over the full area of the opening 27 on the box front wall 13.
  • the collar front wall 23 designed in the usual manner can be extended downward, that is to say to the bottom wall 14, so that a sufficient covering of the opening 27 is provided. Due to the distance of the opening 27 from boundaries of the box front wall 13 and corresponding to the collar front wall 23, this may be connected to the box front wall 13 via a plurality of glue dots 25. In the present case, a plurality of (three) juxtaposed glue spots 25 are provided adjacent to the closing edge 28. Each towards the edge of another glue point 25 is provided. Below the opening 27 are also glue points.
  • Fig. 1 is a glue point 25 positioned between the leg pairs of the animal representation.
  • the inner wall, in this case the collar front wall 23, is specially designed in the region of the opening 27, namely provided with a permanent deformation. This is designed as an embossment 29.
  • the collar 22 or the blank is preferably provided in the production of the same by corresponding stamping tools with a permanent deformation in the finished Pack is arranged in the region of the opening 27 and here produces a three-dimensional optical and mechanical effect.
  • the collar front wall 23 receives by the embossment 29 a higher stability against mechanical stresses.
  • the embossment 29 follows the contour of the opening 27 and is preferably slightly larger in size than the area of the opening 27. Furthermore, the embossment 29 can be designed differently.
  • an embossing which is directed at least partially or predominantly inward, that is to say in the case of a collar 22 to the contents of the package, in the present case to a cigarette block 30.
  • the embossment 29 can be dimensioned such that it rests against the cigarette block 30 and this fixed within the pack.
  • the production of the embossment 29 is expediently carried out in the production of a blank for the package or for the collar 22.
  • the embossing in the region of the material web or the blank are completed, preferably by means arranged on cutting rollers embossing elements.
  • a recess 31 formed This is formed as an edge-side, opposite the lid 11 open recess by arcuate contour of the closing edge 28 in the region of the recess 31. This is limited by the closing edge 28 on the one hand and - with the lid closed 11 - by a transverse lid-closing edge 32 of the lid front wall 16 on the other.
  • Fig. 4 Fig. 5 . Fig.
  • the recess 31 extends centrally in the region of the front of the package, but not over the full width of the box front wall 13, so that on both sides of the recess 31, the closing edges 28 and 32 are directly adjacent to each other with the lid 11 closed ( Fig. 5 ).
  • the collar or the collar front wall 23 carrier of the localized deformation of the material so the Embossment 33.
  • This also follows the contour of the recess 31 and is slightly larger in size.
  • the recess 31 is therefore limited by the contoured closing edge 28 and a lower lid-closing edge - when the lid is closed.
  • the embossment 33 extends into a region of the collar front wall 23 which is covered by the cover front wall 16 when the cover 11 is closed, but terminates at a distance from a customary contoured upper collar edge.
