  • US patent US 6364106 discloses a logo-reinfocing package containing a bundle of products, such as cigarettes.
  • US patent application US 2005247583 discloses A multiply wrapper for a package including an inner ply of material having printed indicia at selected portions and an outer ply of material laminated to the inner ply.
  • European patent application EP 2431300 discloses a container for consumer goods comprising a first panel having a pattern applied to an area of the external surface and a second panel comprising a transparent optical element
  • the invention is defined by claim 1.
  • a container for consumer goods comprising: an outer housing comprising a box, and a lid movable between a closed position and an open position; an inner frame having a first portion mounted within the box and a second portion extending outside the box, wherein the second portion of the inner frame underlies the lid when the lid is in the closed position; and a removable adhesive label affixed to the second portion of the inner frame; wherein the inner frame comprises at least one indicium at least partially covered by the adhesive label.
  • the container according to the invention is advantageous because it enables a consumer to access additional information not visible on the outer housing, by removing an adhesive label from the inner frame of the container when the lid is in the open position.
  • the term "indicium” (and plural “indicia”) is used to refer to a discrete element, or repeating elements or patterns that has at least one of a visual or haptic component.
  • the at least one indicium may be in the form of text, images, letters, words, logos, patterns or a combination thereof.
  • the at least one indicium may comprise a brand or manufacturer logo.
  • the at least one indicium may include material allowing a consumer to access further information.
  • the at least one indicium may include details of a website, telephone number or email address.
  • underlies is used herein to mean that a first portion of the container is closer to the interior of the container than an overlapping second portion of the container. That is, the first portion underlies the second portion.
  • overlies can be used to mean that the second portion of the container is closer to the exterior of the container than the first portion. In this case, the second portion overlies the first portion.
  • the outer housing comprises a box and a lid.
  • the box has an opening through which the consumer goods are accessible.
  • the box may comprise a box front wall, a box left side wall, a box right side wall, a box back wall and a box bottom wall.
  • the inner frame comprises an inner frame front wall, an inner frame right side wall and an inner frame left side wall. A portion of the inner liner extends outside of the box and underlies the lid when the lid is in the closed position. Preferably it is the front wall of the inner frame that extends above the top of the front wall of the box.
  • front, back, “upper”, “lower”, “side”, “top”, “bottom” and other terms used to describe relative positions of the components of containers according to the invention refer to the container in an upright position with the lid at the top end and the consumer goods accessible from the upper end at the front.
  • the terms “left” and “right” are used with reference to side walls of the container when the container is viewed from the front in its upright position.
  • the consumer goods within the container are typically wrapped in an inner liner.
  • the inner liner and consumer goods together form an inner package.
  • a pre-perforated section of the inner liner is removed by the consumer upon first opening the pack.
  • the inner frame is mounted between the box and the inner liner.
  • the filled container Prior to first opening, the filled container may be wrapped in an outer wrapper.
  • the design of the container itself need not be altered to account for the addition of the indicium and adhesive label.
  • the at least one indicium and adhesive label can therefore readily be incorporated into wrapped containers for consumer goods without the need for any significant modification of existing apparatus, techniques and container blanks.
  • the adhesive label may be applied to the inner frame outside the manufacturing and assembly of the container according to the invention.
  • the label may be already applied onto the inner frame at a printer or converter.
  • the inner frame may be, for example, stack fed into regular packaging machinery.
  • the label application may be performed in the area of the unwinding of the inner frame material. In this way, no adaptations to modern, high speed packaging machinery need to be made in order to take advantage of the present invention.
  • the inner frame comprises a front wall, the front wall having a cut out extending from the top edge of the front wall.
  • the cut out in the front wall of the inner frame facilitates removal of the consumer goods from the box.
  • the cut out in the front wall may be any desired shape.
  • the cut out in the front wall may be semicircular or rectangular.
  • the cut out may be located at any desired position on the front wall.
  • the cut out may be positioned in the centre of the front wall, between the centre of the front wall and one edge of the front wall or at one edge of the front wall.
  • the at least one indicium is positioned transversely adjacent the cut out.
  • the at least one indicium is adjacent the cut out in the transverse direction of the container. That is to say, the at least one indicium is positioned on the front wall of the inner frame to one side of the cut out.
  • the removable adhesive label is positioned such that the at least one indicium is not visible to the consumer until the adhesive label is removed.
  • the removable adhesive label is positioned over the at least one indicium so that the at least one indicium is entirely covered by the adhesive label.
  • the adhesive label is not visible from the outside of the container when the lid is in the closed position. The adhesive label is therefore protected by the container itself. In addition, the adhesive label can act as a surprise to the consumer.
  • the adhesive label may be on the front wall of the inner frame.
  • at least one of the front wall of the inner frame and the front wall of the container may be adapted such that a greater area of the inner frame is exposed upon opening the container.
  • the surface of the inner frame to which the adhesive label is affixed may be formed of a material that allows the adhesive label to be securely affixed but readily removed. Suitable sheet materials, coatings and adhesives for this purpose are known.
  • the adhesive label is also positioned transversely adjacent the cut out.
  • the adhesive label may have substantially the same shape as the at least one indicium. Alternatively, the adhesive label may have a different shape from the at least one indicium.
  • the label may be discarded or it may be used for a number of different purposes.
  • the adhesive label may be adapted such that it may be used to reclose the inner liner between uses. This advantageously may protect the consumer goods within the inner liner once the container has been opened for the first time.
  • the adhesive label may be adapted such that it may be applied to the inner frame or the outer surface of the container for decorative purposes. The adhesive label may be adapted to reveal additional information to the consumer once applied to the inner frame or outer surface of the container.
  • the adhesive label or the indicium may comprise flavour agents to be released by the consumer.
  • the flavour may be contained in microcapsules that the consumer may rupture to release the flavour.
  • the adhesive label may include an optical filter, for example a coloured or polarized filter, allowing a consumer to see information when viewed through the filter.
  • the adhesive label may include a pattern of holes, allowing a consumer to view information through the holes, for example, when the adhesive label is applied to a particular portion of the inner frame or container, for example to reveal a hidden message.
  • the adhesive label may include additional features allowing a consumer to view or reveal further information on the container or inner frame, using the label.
  • the adhesive label comprises a portion, adjacent an edge of the label, without adhesive. This may be advantageous to facilitate removal of the adhesive label from the inner frame.
  • the portion without adhesive is at a corner of the label.
  • the portion without adhesive may have a different appearance from the remainder of the label so that the consumer can easily identify the portion of the adhesive label without adhesive.
  • the portion without adhesive may protrude from the inner frame when the lid is in the open position.
  • the at least one indicium is on the front wall of the inner frame.
  • the indicium may be cut out of the inner frame.
  • the indicium may be stamped out of the inner frame. This may reveal the consumer goods or inner liner through the inner frame.
  • the indicium may be integral with the inner frame (for example, cut out of the inner frame) or may be separate and applied to the inner frame (for example, printed on the inner frame).
  • the indicia may be formed on the inner frame by the same or by different mechanisms.
  • the container further comprises an inner package of smoking articles within the box, wherein the inner frame is between the front wall of the inner package and the front wall of the box.
  • the at least one indicium may be formed by at least one indicium cut out in the inner frame, such that the inner package is visible through the at least one indicium cut out.
  • the inner package may be substantially a different colour from the inner frame. This may create an aesthetically pleasing appearance for the consumer.
  • the adhesive label comprises at least one further indicium positioned such that the at least one further indicium is visible when the lid is in the open position.
  • the adhesive label may include the at least one further indicium on an outer surface. Any features described in relation to the at least one indicium may also be applicable to the at least one further indicium
  • the combination of the at least one indicium and the at least one further indicium may be required to convey information to the consumer.
  • the container may comprise a further removable adhesive label positioned such that the at least one further indicium is not visible to the consumer until the further adhesive label is removed.
