Description

[0002] Packets for smoking articles and corresponding cardboard blank [0001]

The present invention relates to a packet for a smoking article and a card blank for making the above-mentioned packet.

Conventional tobacco packets have a rectangular parallelepiped shape extending along the longitudinal axis and include a receptacle and a receptacle hingedly connected to the receptacle via a hinge.

The receptacle comprises a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls and a base wall, while the enclosure comprises a front, a rear, two side and top surfaces, the hinge being located between the rear wall of the container and the rear face of the enclosure do.

The packets are liked by smokers because of the stiffness of the packets, which can avoid damage to the cigarette even if the packet is struck or held in a consumer's pocket or bag.

Packets of the type described above are made of stiff card-blank paper.

This blank has a previously made weakly folded line, which folds along this fold line to form a packet.

Recent smokers have shown a tendency to produce traditional hinge-like closures that favor packets with a certain aesthetic appearance rather than other packets with a more traditional appearance. Thus, tobacco manufacturers need to change the aesthetic appearance of packets to make packets more special and more appealing to consumers.

For this reason, packets having a length greater than or equal to the length of the front wall of the receptacle, measured along the longitudinal axis of the enclosure, have been created.

Thus, in such a packet, the sides of the enclosure are measured along the longitudinal axis and have a length greater than the side of a conventional type cap.

Packets of this type are described, for example, in WO2004 / 065235 and WO2009 / 020383.

The drawback of such a packet is that the side of the closure is easy to bend outwardly, i.e. not flat, which creates problems in opening and closing the closure and creating an unpleasant aesthetic effect.

This side bending is due to the card's response to the simple folding that this side receives.

This in turn results in a greater spacing of the fold lines which, in particular, most of the sides also leads to the sides being obtained, which causes the card to be distinctly curved even when the material is subjected to a small reaction.

It is an object of the present invention to improve packets for tobacco products, in particular cigarette packets, and corresponding card blankets that can be used to obtain such packets.

Another object is to provide a smoking article, particularly a packet for cigarettes, having a closed body that is tougher than known packets.

Another object is to obtain packets for stiff cigarettes comprising a closure having stiffer sides than the known aspect.

Another object is to provide a packet for a smoking article, especially a packet for cigarettes, having a large surface available for information transmission to a consumer, an advertisement message and the like.

Another object is to provide packets for cigarettes, particularly packets for cigarettes, which have an attractive aesthetic appearance.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a smoking article, particularly a packet for tobacco, as disclosed in independent claim 1.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a packet for a smoking article having a closed body that is tougher than a known packet.

In practice, the fixation portion, which is particularly adhered to the inner surface of the front surface, substantially eliminates the tendency of the side to bend outwardly to maintain the surface in a substantially straight line.

Further, the face is at least partially formed by the inner and outer walls, which is more stiff and thus enhances the aesthetic appeal of the packet and the manageability of the enclosure.

In addition, since the face is stiffer than the side of a known packet, the size of the front face with respect to the front wall of the receptor can be increased in comparison with a known packet, and thus, The surface that is present can be increased.

Specifically, this message may be printed in advance on the fixing portion, which may extend over a substantial entire width of the inner surface in an embodiment of the present invention.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a card-like blank as disclosed in independent claim 31.

According to the card blank provided in the second aspect of the present invention, the packet according to the first aspect of the present invention can be easily manufactured even in a conventional machine as long as the blank has a contour similar to that of a conventional white paper.
