The latter has, in the region of a recess of the front wall of the outer pack, a tear-off tab defined by lines of weakness.
  • a cigarette pack in which the inner pack is formed as a sealing pack with a surrounding the cigarette group, thermally sealable and moisture-proof film. This forms lateral fin seams and a transverse seam.
  • a multiply usable opening aid is formed in the region of the inner pack as a opening tab, which extends across the width of the end wall and a frontal area the front wall extends. An end piece of the tab is fixable with glue points on an inner layer of the inner pack in the closed position.
  • the outer pack is designed in the manner of a folding pack with locking tab which extends over the front side and an upper region of the front side. The opening tab of the inner pack is connected to the locking tab, so it is operated with this opening and closing.

  • a special feature of the pack is an opening aid. This can be designed for a repeated opening and closing operation or for a single opening operation. Furthermore, the opening aid can alternatively be designed such that upon actuation of the same a removal opening 40 in the region of outer package 12 and inner package 13 at the same time or only an opening in the region of the outer package 12 is created. In the latter case, the inner pack 13 must be opened by the consumer (manually).
