Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention relates to a blank or sheet of packaging material (3) for folding or wrapping around a tobacco industry product, for example a piece of smoking article.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown an amount of smoking articles 1 wrapped in a package to form a bundle for insertion into a smoking pack in Figs. The package comprises a blank or an elongate sheet of packaging material 3, as illustrated in Fig. 4, which allows the odors to be arranged in rows with the longitudinal axis " A " of the respective smokers parallel to each other And surrounds the cigarette packs (1). The elongate sheet of material 3 may be formed of a paper in which foil or foil is laminated.

A blank or sheet of material (3) surrounds one side of the smoking article (1). Which folds around a perimeter of smokers to form a front wall 4 and a rear wall (not shown), wherein the front wall 4 and the rear wall are parallel to the longitudinal axis " A & Do. The sheet of material (3) also forms a bottom wall (5) facing the combustible end (6) of smokables. In addition, the sheet of material forms the side walls 8, 9 and the top wall 11 of the packaged bundle 2 of smokables, as will now be described.

The side walls 8 and 9 extend from the front wall 4 and the rear wall to side flaps 4a and 4b that extend toward the sides of the bundle and are folded around on the sides of the smokable items Lt; / RTI > The flaps 4a extending from the front wall 4 overlap with the flaps 4b extending from the rear wall.

Similarly, normal flaps 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d extending from the front wall 4, the rear wall and the two side walls 8, 9 toward the bottom wall 5 in the opposite direction, and folds across the mouth end (7) to form the top wall (11). The normal flaps 14c and 14d extending from the side walls 8 and 9 are folded first and then the normal flap 14b extending from the rear wall is folded and finally the normal flap 14b extending from the front wall 4 14a are folded so as to overlap with all other normal flaps 14b, 14c, 14d.

The sheet of material (3) includes a line of weak portion (12). This line can be nicked, perforated or perforated to form a weakened line. The line of weak portion 12 extends between opposing long edges of the sheet of material 3, which forms part 13 of the sheet of material. When the sheet of material 3 surrounds a portion of the smoking articles 1, the line of the weak portion 12 is in contact with the front wall 4 and its corresponding side wall 8, 9 forming the side walls 8, 9 of the bundle Is located on the flap 4a (only one flap is visible in Fig. 2). Thus, this portion 13 forms the upper end of a wrapped amount of smokies.

In order to remove this portion 13 from packaged snacks, the user pulls the normal flap 14a extending from the front wall 4 of a packaged snack 2, The package is torn or separated along the line of the weak part 12. The user pulls in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis 'A' of the toddlers indicated by the arrows 'B' in FIGS. This direction is referred to as a first direction.

The normal flap 14a extending from the front and forming portion of the top wall 11 includes a leading edge 14e as best shown in Fig. The leading edge 14e has a zig-zag shape profile such that the leading edge is longer than in a conventional wrapped amount of smokers whose corresponding leading edge is linear or linear. The general direction of the leading edge is parallel to the front wall 4 and the rear wall of a packaged snack 2. Advantageously, the zigzag-shaped longer edge 14e increases the friction between the bundles of the oddities 2 and the pack of the compartments in which they are received, which reduces the risk of accidental opening of the pack of compartments.

In an alternative embodiment, the leading edge 15 of the flap 14a extending from the front wall 4 is curved as shown in Fig.
