  • the package (2) comprises a bottom wall (2c) lateral, arranged transversely to the upper wall (2a). It should be noted that according to the illustrated embodiment, the bottom wall (2c) lateral, arranged transversely to the upper wall (2a). It should be noted that according to the illustrated embodiment, the bottom wall (2c) lateral, arranged transversely to the upper wall (2a). It should be noted that according to the illustrated embodiment, the bottom wall
