This invention relates to a container for consumer products that includes an adhesive label. The container according to the present invention finds application, in particular, as a container for elongated consumer products, such as smoking products.

Smoking products, such as cigarettes and cigars, are usually packaged in rigid containers with a hinged lid, which include a box and a lid attached to the box by a hinge line that runs along the rear wall of the container. Usually, such containers with a hinged lid are formed from solid flat cardboard blanks. During use, the container is opened by tilting the lid along the hinge line in order to get to the bundle of smoking products in the box.

A bundle of smoking products in a box is usually wrapped with an inner liner or other packaging material made of, for example, metallized paper, metal foil, or other flexible sheet material. In order to access the bundle of smoking products located in the inner liner, the consumer must remove the pre-perforated upper part of the inner liner when the flip-top container is first opened.

It is also known to place consumer products, such as a bundle of smoking products, in a substantially airtight wrapper designed to be resealable.

A wrapper that holds consumer products can be placed in a container with a hinged lid.

For example, EP-A-0 944 539 describes a pack with a hinged lid for smoking products, in which the smoking products are located in a sealed shell formed from a layer of barrier material having an access opening made therein. The access opening is closed by a cover layer with a permanently adhesive surface that can interact with a layer of barrier material to reseal the wrapper after initial opening. The frame, to which the covering layer can be pressed, is made in a compacted wrapper between the smoking products and a layer of barrier material.

UMMO-A-2008/142540 describes a pack with a hinged lid for smoking products, in which the smoking products are contained in an inner package with a withdrawal opening closed by a cover flap attached to the inner package using a non-drying adhesive applied to the inner side of this cover valve. In one of the implementation options

The outer surface of the lower tab of the cover layer is permanently and permanently glued to the inner surface of the front wall of the cover, so that opening and closing the cover also opens and closes the cover valve at the same time. In this embodiment, the cover flap forms a 5-fold when the flip-top pack lid is opened.

The term "5Z-shaped" used in this description means the shape of a curve with a single point of inflection.

Due to the 5-shaped shape of the cover valve, during opening and closing of the cover, a certain part of the cover layer at a certain angle may come into unwanted contact with another part of the cover layer or with the lower edge of the front wall of the cover. Since both parts of the cover layer are non-dry and coated with a reusable adhesive, these parts can stick to each other and prevent the lid from closing.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate this drawback of the known pack.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a container for consumer products is created. This container includes an outer housing that includes a box and a lid hinged to the box along a hinge line extending along the rear wall of the container.

An inner package for consumer products is located inside said outer housing and has an access opening through which the consumer products can be withdrawn. The adhesive label covers the access hole made in the inner package and extends beyond the perimeter of the access hole made in the inner package. Said adhesive label is at least partially removably attached to the inner package with an adhesive that provides releasable attachment, this adhesive being applied in a first area of the inner surface of the adhesive label extending at least around the lower part of the perimeter of the access opening made in the inner package.

The second zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker is permanently attached to the inner surface of the front wall of the lid of the outer container. In the third zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker, which is located between the mentioned first and second zones, the glue is essentially not applied.

As a result of the presence of such an adhesive sticker, a container can be created, which includes an inner package suitable for repeated tight closing, which makes it easier to close this container. Closure of the container can be facilitated because the adhesive label does not stick "to itself" or to the inner surface of the lid during opening or closing. In addition, an inner package with higher sealing reliability can be created because the portion of the adhesive label that is coated with a reusable adhesive for tight bonding adheres only to the inner package, enabling repeated effective sealing.

In a preferred embodiment, the height of the third zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker is at least about 1 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the height of said third zone is at least about 2 mm, and in a more preferred embodiment, at least about 3 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the second zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker is at least about 3 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the height of said second zone is at least about 4 mm, and in a more preferred embodiment, at least about 6 mm.

In a preferred embodiment, the width of the third zone of the inner surface of the adhesive label is at least about 90 95 of the width of the access opening made in the inner package. In a more preferred variant, the width of said third zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker essentially corresponds to or exceeds the width of the access opening made in the inner package. In an even more preferred option, the width of said third zone essentially corresponds to the width of the adhesive label. The width of said third zone can be varied to vary the force required to open the container. A narrower third zone increases the force required to open the container and therefore can provide a better seal between the adhesive label and the inner package.

However, reducing the width of the third zone may increase the force required to close the container, as the adhesive label may contact and partially adhere to the inner surface of the lid.

In a preferred embodiment, the height of the third zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker is substantially equal to or less than the height of the second zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker. The second zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker may be located on the inner surface of the lid, so that when this lid is in the open position, said third zone,

From which the glue is essentially not applied, extends to the lower edge of the lid or beyond it.

By following the above-described relative dimensions and position of the adhesive label, an adhesive label is created that does not adhere to the inner surface of the lid, and thus an easy-to-close container is created.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a container for consumer products is created. This container includes an outer housing that includes a box and a lid hinged to this box along a hinge line extending along the rear wall of said container.

An inner package for consumer products is located inside said outer housing and has an access opening through which the consumer products can be withdrawn. The adhesive label covers the access hole made in the inner package and extends beyond the perimeter of the access hole made in the inner package. The adhesive label is at least partially removably attached to the inner package with an adhesive that provides releasable attachment, the adhesive being applied to a first area of the inner surface of the adhesive label, the first area extending around at least a lower portion of the perimeter of the access opening provided in the inner package, said second area of the inner the surface of the adhesive sticker is substantially free of applied adhesive, and said first zone of the outer surface of the adhesive sticker is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the front wall of the lid of the outer container. Said second zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker and the first zone of the outer surface of the adhesive sticker at least partially overlap each other.

This reduces the force between the reverse side of the first outer surface area and the adhesive which provides releasable attachment and which is applied in the first inner surface area.

As a result of the presence of such an adhesive sticker, a container can be created, which includes an inner package suitable for repeated tight closing, which causes easy closing of this container. Closure of the container can be facilitated because the adhesive label does not stick "to itself" or to the inner surface of the lid during opening or closing. In addition, an inner package with higher sealing reliability can be created because the portion of the adhesive label that is coated with a reusable adhesive for tight bonding adheres only to the inner package, enabling repeated effective sealing.

According to a preferred variant, the area of the second zone of the adhesive sticker according to this second aspect of the present invention is from 100 95 to about 50 95 of the area of the first zone of the outer surface of the adhesive sticker. If said second area is smaller than said first area, an advantage is provided that the adhesive label is less prone to separation from the lid when the container is open. The height of said second inner surface area may be at least about 1 mm, preferably at least about 2 mm, and more preferably at least about 3 mm.

The height of said first zone of the outer surface of the adhesive sticker may be at least about 3 mm, preferably at least about 4 mm, and more preferably at least about 6 mm.

The adhesive sticker intended to seal the access portion above the access opening according to the first and second aspects of the present invention is provided with a reusable adhesive for tight bonding, so that the sticker can be removed from the surface of the inner package and reattached to the same surface a certain number of times. This allows the inner package to be opened and closed multiple times to provide access to individual consumer products. Preferably, the reusable adhesive applied to the adhesive sticker provides adhesion sufficient to reattach the sticker at least as many times as the consumer products are placed in the container. This allows the user to open and reseal the inner package until the container is empty.

Acceptable adhesives that can be reused for bonding are known to those skilled in the art, and a wide variety of adhesives are commercially available from many suppliers. The selection of an acceptable adhesive may depend on the material from which the inner package is formed, to which the adhesive label is attached or from which it is removed during use.

A preferred adhesive label has a non-adhesive surface portion, wherein the size of this non-adhesive surface corresponds to the size of the access hole provided in the inner package. If the lid is in the closed position with an adhesive sticker attached to the inner package, this unadhesive surface covers the access opening made in the inner package. This will prevent dust or small particles such as tobacco crumbs from sticking

From other remnants of consumer products, which are located inside the package, to the adhesive sticker. This can happen if the adhesive label comes into contact with consumer products that are located inside the inner package.

In an alternative embodiment, to form an area where the adhesive is not applied and the dimensions of which correspond to the access hole made in the inner package according to the first

5 and second aspects of the present invention, the access opening provided in the inner package is defined by one or more weakening line(s) provided in the inner package. Said one or more lines of weakening define an accessible portion of the inner package. Providing an inner package with a defined part for access results in a more secure sealing of this inner package before the first opening of the container. This can increase the shelf life of consumer products located inside said container. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive label has an additional inner surface area permanently attached to the access portion of the inner package and bounded by one or more weakening line(s). In a preferred embodiment, the access portion of the inner package may be partially separated from the rest of the inner package by one or more line(s) of weakening when the cover of the outer housing is first opened, so that said access portion of the inner package remains attached to the rest of the inner package package during subsequent opening and closing of the cover of the outer case. Applied in the first zone of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker, a reusable adhesive for tight bonding can be applied around substantially the entire perimeter of the access portion of the inner package.

In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive label according to the first and second aspects of the present invention is at least partially permanently attached to the inner package. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive label is permanently attached to the inner package by a connecting portion that extends substantially around the entire perimeter of the adhesive label. This connecting part is connected to the adhesive sticker along the edge of the adhesive sticker adjacent to the edge of the access part. In a preferred embodiment, the connecting edge is located closer to the rear upper surface of the inner package.

In a preferred embodiment, the container according to the first and second aspects also includes an inner frame located inside the inner package. In a more preferred embodiment, this inner frame is an O-shaped inner frame that includes a front wall and a pair of side walls facing each other. Alternatively, the inner frame may be located between the container and the inner package. The internal frame with a large surface area provides the advantage of increasing the structural strength of the container. The increased structural strength provided by the internal frame ensures reliable closing of the adhesive sticker. This provides certain advantages when carrying out subsequent closing operations when the container is no longer full. The term "O-shaped" as used herein means a shape having three parts, the first part and the third part being mutually parallel and extending in one direction perpendicular to the second part.

If the inner frame is located between the container and the inner package, the inner frame may include a cover layer, and the surface structure of the cover layer essentially ensures that there is no transfer of adhesive from the adhesive sticker to the cover layer when the adhesive sticker is attached to the cover layer of the inner frame. For example, the inner frame can have a cover layer of laminated polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

The covering layer can be transparent or metallized. Preventing transfer of adhesive from the sticker to the inner frame provides the advantage that dust or small particles, such as so-called "tobacco crumb", do not stick to the inner frame.

In a preferred embodiment, the inner package is made of metal foil or metallized paper. The inner package can be formed from a material in the form of a multi-layer metallized polyethylene film and from a liner material. This liner material can be calendered parchment. In addition, the material of the inner package can be equipped with a top coating that allows printing.

In a preferred embodiment, the consumer products are smoking products.

However, said container may be suitable for various consumer products such as confectionery, dried food products or the like.

The terms "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "side", "top", "bottom" "side" refer to the relative position of the parts of the containers of the present invention and their component parts when the container is in vertical position with the outer housing cover closed and the hinge line located behind this housing. In the description of containers according to the present invention, the mentioned terms are used regardless of the position of the container being described.

The term "hinge line" means the line about which the cover can be rotated to open the container. The hinge line can be, for example, an assembly line or a fold line in the area that forms the back wall of the container.

The term "longitudinal" means the direction from the bottom up or vice versa. The term "transverse" means a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

The term "height" used in this description means the size of the corresponding part of the adhesive sticker, measured in the longitudinal direction in the position when this adhesive sticker is attached to the inner package. The term "width" means the size of the corresponding part of the adhesive label, measured in the transverse direction in the position when that adhesive label is attached to the inner package.

According to the preferred option, the container has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, which has two wider walls, separated by a certain distance by two narrower walls.

The container may be made of any acceptable material, including, but not limited to, cardboard, paper, plastic, metal, or a combination thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the outer casing is made of one or more bent flat cardboard blank(s), and in a preferred embodiment, a mass of 1 m? cardboard

BO is from about 100 g to about 350 g.

As described above, containers according to the present invention may have the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with right-angled longitudinal and right-angled transverse ribs. Alternatively, the container may have one or more rounded longitudinal rib(s), rounded transverse rib(s), chamfered longitudinal rib(s) rib(s), beveled cross rib(s), or combinations thereof. For example, the container according to the present invention may include, but is not limited to: - one or two longitudinal rounded(s) or chamfered rib(s) on the front wall of the talaba one or two longitudinal -their) rounded(s) or beveled(s) edge(s) on the 60 back wall;

- one or two transverse rounded(s) or beveled rib(s) on the front wall of the talaba one or two transverse(s) rounded(s) or beveled rib(s) -ra) on the back wall; - one longitudinal rounded rib and one longitudinal chamfered rib on the front wall and/or one transverse rounded rib and one transverse chamfered rib on the rear wall; - one or two transverse rounded(s) or chamfered rib(s) on the front wall and one or two longitudinal(s) rounded or chamfered rib(s) (-ra) on the front wall; - two longitudinal rounded or chamfered ribs on the first side wall or two transverse rounded or chamfered ribs on the second side wall.

If the container has one or more chamfered edge(s), then in a preferred embodiment, the one or more chamfered edge(s) have a width of about 1 mm to about 10 mm, preferably from about 2 mm to about 6 mm. Alternatively, the container may have a double bevel formed by three parallel fluted or run lines that are spaced apart to form two different bevels on the edge of the container.

Alternatively, the container may not have a rectangular cross-section, but, for example, a polygonal cross-section, such as triangular or hexagonal, or semi-oval or semi-circular.

The containers of the present invention may find specific use as packs for elongated smoking products, such as, for example, cigarettes, cigars or cigarillos. It should be understood that the containers of the present invention can be designed to hold varying amounts of regular size, large size, extra large size, thin or ultra thin cigarettes by appropriately sizing them. Alternatively, other consumer products can be placed in the container.

As a result of the appropriate selection of sizes, the containers according to the present invention can be designed to accommodate a different total number of smoking products or to arrange smoking products according to different stacking schemes. For example, as a result of the appropriate selection

From the dimensions of the containers according to this invention, they can be designed to accommodate a total of ten to thirty smoking products.

Smoking products can be arranged according to different schemes depending on the total number of these smoking products. For example, smoking products can be arranged in one row of six, seven, eight, nine or ten units. Alternatively, smoking products may be arranged in two or more rows(s). These two or more series(s) may contain the same number of smoking products. For example, smoking products can be arranged according to the following schemes: two rows of five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten units; three rows of five or seven units; or four rows of four, five or six units. Alternatively, these two or more row(s) may include at least two rows that accommodate different amounts of smoking products. For example, smoking products can be arranged according to the following schemes: a row of five units and a row of six units (scheme 5-6); a row of six units and a row of seven units (scheme 6-7); a row of seven units and a row of eight units (scheme 7-8); the middle row of five units and two outer rows of six units (scheme 6-5-6); the middle row of five units and two outer rows of seven units (scheme 7-5-7); the middle row of six units and two outer rows of five units (scheme 5-6-5); the middle row of six units and two outer rows of seven units (scheme 7-6-7); the middle row of seven units and two outer rows of six units (scheme 6-7-6); the middle row of nine units and two outer rows of eight units (scheme 8-9-8); or a middle row of six units, one outer row of five units, and one outer row of seven units (pattern 5-6-7).

The containers of the present invention can accommodate smoking products of the same type or brand or different types or brands. In addition, both unfiltered smoking articles and smoking articles with different types of filters can be accommodated, as well as smoking articles of various lengths (e.g., from about 40 mm to about 180 mm) and diameters (e.g., from about 4 mm to about 9 mm). In addition, smoking products can differ in flavor strength, absorption resistance, and total solids intake. According to the preferred option, the dimensions of the container are chosen so that they correspond to the length of the smoking products and the scheme of their arrangement. Typically, the outer dimensions of the container are approximately 0.5-5 mm larger than the dimensions of the bundle(s) of smoking products placed inside the container.

The length, width and depth of the containers of the present invention can be such that, in the closed position, the final overall dimensions of the container are similar to those of a conventional single-use flip-top pack of twenty cigarettes.

In a preferred embodiment, the containers of the present invention have a height of from about 60 mm to about 150 mm, and in a more preferred embodiment, from about 70 mm to about 125 mm, where the height is measured from the bottom wall to the top wall of the container .

In a preferred embodiment, the containers of the present invention have a width of from about 12 mm to about 150 mm, and in a more preferred embodiment from about 70 mm to about 125 mm, where the width is measured from one side wall to the other side wall container walls.

In a preferred embodiment, the containers of the present invention have a depth of from about b mm to about 150 mm, and in a more preferred embodiment, from about 12 mm to about 25 mm, where the depth is measured from the front wall to the back wall of the container (which has a hinge between the box and the lid).

In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of container height to container depth is from about 0.3/1 to about 10/1, in a more preferred embodiment from about 2/1 to about 8/1, and in an embodiment, which is most favored, from about 3/1 to 5/1.

In a preferred embodiment, the container width to container depth ratio is from about 0.3/1 to about 10/1, in a more preferred embodiment from about 2/1 to about 8/1, and in an embodiment, which is most favored, from about 2/1 to 3/1.

In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of the height of the rear wall of the lid to the height of the rear wall of the box of the outer housing is from about 0/1 (the lid is located on the upper edge of the container) to about 1/1, in a more preferred embodiment from about 1 /5 to about 1/10, and in the most preferred embodiment, from about 1/6 to about 1/8.

According to the preferred option, the ratio of the height of the front wall of the lid

From the outer case to the height of the front wall of the box of the outer case is from about 1/0 (the lid completely covers the front wall) to about 1/10, in the more preferred option, from about 1/1 to about 1/5, and in the most preferred option is from about 1/2 to about 1/3.

If the container contains smoking products, the container may also include compartments for waste (ash or butts) or contain other consumer products such as matches, lighters, fire extinguishers, breath fresheners or electronic devices. Said other consumer products can be attached to the outside of the container, located inside the container together with smoking products, located in a separate compartment of the container, or located according to combinations of these methods.

The outer surfaces of the containers of the present invention may be printed, embossed, embossed, or otherwise decorated with manufacturer or brand logos, trademarks, slogans, or other consumer information and markings.

The containers according to the present invention, after filling, can be wrapped in a cellophane film or wrapped in a transparent polymer film, for example, from polyethylene of high or low density, polypropylene, oriented polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride, in a cellulose film or in their combination in a known manner. When the containers of the present invention are wrapped in a wrapper, the outer wrapper may have one or more tear strip(s). In addition, images, consumer information or other information may be printed on the outer wrapper.

This invention is described below by way of example only with reference to the accompanying figures, in which: FIG. 1 shows a container according to the present invention; in Fig. 2 shows a side view of the container shown in FIG. 1, with the cover in the open position; in Fig. C shows a side view of the container shown in Fig. 1, with the lid in the closed position; in Fig. 4 shows the inner surface of the adhesive label used in the container of the present invention; in Fig. 5 shows the outer surface of the adhesive sticker shown in FIG. 4; in Fig. b shows a side view of another container according to the present invention with the lid in the open 60 position;

in Fig. 7 shows a side view of said other container with the lid in the closed position; in Fig. 8 shows the inner surface of an adhesive sticker applied in said yet another container; and in Fig. 9 shows the outer surface of the adhesive sticker shown in FIG. 8.

The container 100 with a hinged lid, shown in Fig. 1, is a rectangular parallelepiped and includes a box 102 located below and a lid 104 located above, hinged to this box 102 along a hinge line that extends substantially horizontally along the back wall containers 100. In Fig. 1 shows the container with the hinged lid 104 in the open position. A bundle of cigarettes (not shown) is located in said box 102 of container 100. This bundle is wrapped in an inner package 106, described in more detail below.

The overall size and structure of the box 102 and lid 104 of the container 100 are essentially the same as in a conventional flip-top cigarette pack.

The box 102 includes a front wall of the box, a left side wall of the box, a right side wall of the box, a rear wall of the box, and a bottom wall of the box. The upper side of the box 102 is open and forms an upper opening through which cigarettes can be drawn.

When the container, which is in a vertical position, is opened, the cigarettes located in the box 102 can be extracted from the upper end of this container 100.

The cover 104 includes a front cover wall, a left side cover wall, a right side cover wall, a rear cover wall, and a bottom cover wall. When the container 100 is closed, the free edges of the walls of the cover 104 are in contact with the free edges of the walls of the box 102 along the line of contact. Therefore, in the closed position, the walls of the cover 104 form the continuation of the corresponding walls of the box 102, forming the walls of the container 100.

An inner frame (not shown) is mounted inside the inner package 106 of the container 100. The inner frame includes a front wall of the inner frame, a left side wall of the inner frame, and a right side wall of the inner frame connected to the inner surfaces of the front wall of the inner package, the left side wall of the inner package and the right side wall of the inner package, respectively. The front wall of the inner frame has a rectangular cut-out, made in the upper free edge and intended

Zo to facilitate the removal of cigarettes from the box 102. This rectangular cut-out substantially corresponds to a portion of the access opening provided in the front wall of the inner package. The walls of the inner frame extend above the upper edges of the box 102.

Before the first opening, the container 100 is wrapped in a known manner with an outer wrapper (not shown) formed from a transparent film.

The inner package 106 has a cutout through which cigarettes can be drawn. When the inner package of cigarettes is in place within the box, this cutout is located on the side of the open top end of this box 102.

A rectangular self-adhesive label 108 is affixed to the outer surface of the inner package such that the label 108 covers a cut-out defined by an access hole formed in the inner package 106. The free edge 110 of the label 108 is permanently attached to a portion of the inner surface of the lid 104. The label 108 has an area 112, which is coated with a reusable adhesive for tight bonding, and this area is located on the inner surface of the label 108, which overlaps the portion of the inner package located substantially around the perimeter of the access opening. When the lid is in the closed position, the area 112 which has a re-usable adhesive applied to it for tight bonding forms a seal between the adhesive sticker 108 and the inner package 106.

In addition, the sticker 108 is tightly attached to the inner package near the upper rear edge of this inner package with a strip of glue that provides permanent attachment. This creates a hinge line around which the adhesive label can rotate to open and close the inner package.

To enable access to the cigarettes located inside the inner package, the hinged lid is moved from the closed position to the open position shown in FIG. 1.

Since the free edge 110 of the sticker 108 is fixedly attached to the lid, when said lid is moved from the closed position, the sticker 108 is separated from the inner package 106, which allows the opening of an access hole made in the inner package, and through this access hole one or more cigarettes (- et) can be extracted.

In Fig. 2 shows a side view of the container 100 with the cover 104 in the open position. As described above, the sticker 108 is permanently attached with glue 200 to the inner surface of the lid

104 essentially adjoined the lower edge of this cover. On the part 202, adjacent to the part 200, on which the glue is applied, which provides permanent attachment, is essentially not applied. The non-adhesive part is intended to prevent the adhesive sticker from sticking to the inner surface of the lid in the area of the lower edge of the lid. Preventing the adhesive sticker from sticking to the lid can make it easier to open and close the container.

In Fig. 3 shows a side view of the container 100 with the cover 104 in the closed position. As shown, the adhesive sticker portion 200 permanently attached to the inner surface of the lid is bent substantially 180 degrees relative to the inner package. Adhesive label 108 is shown attached to inner package 106.

In Fig. 4 shows an adhesive sticker 108. An adhesive is applied to the part 200 which provides permanent attachment so that the lower edge of the adhesive sticker can be permanently attached to the inner surface of the lid 104 as described above. The part 202 is essentially unglued and is located adjacent to the part 200 which has an adhesive which provides permanent attachment. Alternatively, portion 200 may be treated to neutralize its ability to adhere to the inner surface of the lid. The above-described reusable pressure-sensitive adhesive portion 112 is shown surrounding the perimeter of portion 400. This reusable pressure-sensitive adhesive portion 112 is adhered to the inner package around the opening for access so that it can be reattached, resulting in a sealed inner package. The part 400 on which the adhesive is applied, which provides permanent attachment, is intended for permanently attaching the adhesive sticker to the access part of the inner package. Prior to the first opening of the container, the access portion is attached to the inner packaging by weakening lines, such as lines with perforated holes, extruded lines, or partially cut lines. In particular, the weakening lines are made on the left side, on the right side, and on the side of the lower edge of the access hole, when looking at the container from the front with the cover from above. An adhesive label is permanently attached to the access portion so that when the container is first opened, the access portion separates from the inner package along the lines of weakening, but remains attached to the inner package along the hinge line formed in the rear upper corner

From the inner package.

In Fig. 5 shows the outer surface of the adhesive label 108. As shown, the surface 500 has no adhesive applied.

In this embodiment, the height of the non-adhesive portion is less than the height of the adhesive portion 610, which provides permanent attachment. The height of the unglued part is about 3 mm, and the height of the part with glue that provides permanent attachment is about 4 mm. The relative dimensions of the non-adhesive portion and the non-removable adhesive portion of the adhesive label are such that the re-usable adhesive portion does not contact the inner surface cover when this cover is in the open position. In addition, the relative dimensions are such that the portion on which the re-usable adhesive is applied provides a tight attachment to the area surrounding the access portion provided in the inner package. The container 600 shown in FIG. b, similar in structure to the container 100 described above, shown in Figures 1-3. The container 600 includes a box 602 and a lid 604 hinged to the box 602 along a hinge line that extends substantially horizontally along the rear wall of the container 600. However, the inner package 606 has an alternative adhesive label 608. In this alternative embodiment, the part 610 the outer surface of the adhesive sticker 608 is permanently attached to the inner surface of the cover 604. On the part 612 of the inner surface of the adhesive sticker 608, the glue is essentially not applied. Similar to the aforementioned non-adhesive portion 202 formed on the adhesive label 108 as described above, the non-adhesive portion 612 is designed so that the adhesive label does not stick "to itself" when the lid is in open position Therefore, opening and closing the container can be facilitated.

In Fig. 7 shows a side view of container 600 with cover 604 in the closed position. As shown, in this alternative embodiment, the portion 610 of the adhesive sticker permanently attached to the inner surface of the lid is not bent relative to the inner package. Adhesive label 108 is shown removably attached to inner package 606.

Similar to the container 100 described above, an inner frame (not shown) is installed inside an inner package 606 of the container 600. This inner frame includes a front inner frame wall, a left inner frame side wall, and a right inner frame side wall connected to the inner surface of the front wall of the inner package, the left side wall of the inner package and the right side wall of the inner package, respectively. The front wall of the inner frame has a rectangular cut-out made in the upper free edge to facilitate the removal of cigarettes from the box 602. This rectangular cut-out substantially corresponds to that part of the access hole made in the front wall of the inner package.

The walls of the inner frame extend above the upper edges of the box 602.

Before the first opening, the container 600 is wrapped with an outer wrapper (not shown) formed from a transparent film in a known manner.

The inner package 606 has a cutout through which the cigarettes can be drawn. When this inner cigarette package is in place within the box, this cutout is located on the side of the open top end of the box 602.

In Fig. 8 shows an adhesive label 608. The adhesive label 608 is generally absent from the portion 612 and is located adjacent to the lower edge of the adhesive label 608. Alternatively, the portion 612 may be treated to neutralize its ability to stick "to itself" when the lid is in the open position . A reusable tight-bonding adhesive portion 800 is shown to surround the perimeter of said portion 802. This reusable tight-bonding adhesive portion 800 is configured to enable repeated bonding of the adhesive. stickers to the inner package 606 around the access hole with the seal of this inner package. The part 802, on which the adhesive is applied, which provides a permanent attachment, is intended to permanently attach the adhesive sticker to the part for access made in the inner package. Before the first opening of the container, the access part is connected to the inner package by weakening lines, such as lines with perforation holes. In particular, the weakening lines are made on the left side, on the right side, and on the side of the lower edge of the access hole, when looking at the container from the front with the cover from above. An adhesive label is permanently attached to the access portion such that when the container is first opened, the access portion is separated from the inner package along the lines of weakening, but remains attached to the inner package along a hinge line formed at the rear upper corner of the inner package.

In Fig. 9 shows the outer surface of the adhesive sticker 608. As shown, the part 610 on which the adhesive is applied, which provides permanent attachment, is made from the side of the lower edge of the outer surface of the adhesive sticker. No glue is applied to the remaining 900 surface of the outer surface of the adhesive sticker.

In an alternative embodiment, the height of the non-adhesive portion is less than the height of the adhesive portion 610, which provides permanent attachment. The height of the unglued part is about 3 mm, and the height of the part with glue that provides permanent attachment is about 6 mm. The relative dimensions of the non-adhesive portion and the adhesive portion providing permanent attachment are such that the elastic properties of the adhesive label material prevent "self-contact" of the reusable adhesive portion for tight bonding when the lid is in the open position.

The containers 100 and 600 may be filled and assembled using known devices and methods modified to include the operation of attaching an adhesive label 108, 608 to an access opening made in the inner package 106, 606.
