Although the packaging case shown in FIG. 9 can store cigarettes in a good-looking manner, if the opening 102 is formed in the case to take out the cigarettes, the case remains in a perforated state. Therefore, after taking out the necessary number of cigarettes, if there is excess tobacco in the case, the tobacco tends to fall out of the case from the opening 102, and it is suitable for carrying excess tobacco in the case. Absent.
In addition, when the container shown in FIG. 10 is applied to cigarette packaging instead of the cylindrical suction tool, since the cigarettes are individually stored in the respective recesses 112, a single cigarette is taken out from the container. Other cigarettes do not easily fall out of the container, and there is no problem in carrying the container. However, when separating the overlapped container body 110 and lid 111 to take out the cigarette, the container is shaken by the operation of releasing the fitting of the concave and convex portions 113 and 114, and the impact is transmitted. The container is easily scattered outside the container, and the container cannot be opened and closed by a simple operation.

  In view of such problems of the prior art, the present invention can open and close a case containing a plurality of cigarettes with a simple operation in a cigarette packaging case formed by molding a transparent plastic sheet, After taking out the required number of cigarettes, it is an object to be able to carry the case again with the case sealed.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a case main body provided with a flange portion in the periphery and a housing recess for storing tobacco inside the flange portion, and a case main body provided with a flange portion in the periphery. A cigarette wrapping case in which a cover body is attached to one end of the case and the cover body is attached to the case body and the flange portions of both bodies are overlapped to seal the housing recess. The second storage recess is divided into a first storage recess on the part side and a second storage recess on the other side, and a folding ruled line is provided between the two recesses, and a second storage recess is formed along the ruled line. It is formed to be foldable, and is configured to be able to take out the stored cigarette by opening one end of the storage recess by folding the second storage recess with the cover body attached to the case body. It is characterized in.

According to the cigarette wrapping case of the present invention, the cigarette is placed on the housing recess of the case main body and stored, and a cover body hinged to the case main body is put on and attached to the upper surface of the case main body.
