  • the container of the present invention finds particular application as a container for elongate consumer good items, such as smoking articles.
  • hinge-lid containers comprising a box and a lid connected to the box about a hinge line extending across a back wall of the container.
  • Such hinge-lid containers are typically constructed from one-piece laminar cardboard blanks. In use, the lid is pivoted about the hinge line to open the container and so gain access to a bundle of smoking articles housed in the box.
  • the bundle of smoking articles housed in the box is commonly wrapped in an inner liner, or package, of metallised paper, metal foil or other flexible sheet material.
  • an inner liner or package, of metallised paper, metal foil or other flexible sheet material.
  • a consumer should remove a pre-perforated upper portion of the inner liner upon first opening of the hinge-lid container.
  • consumer goods for example a bundle of smoking articles
  • the wrapper including the consumer goods may be inserted in a hinge-lid container.
  • EP-A-0 944 539 discloses a hinge-lid pack of smoking articles in which the smoking articles are provided in a sealed enclosure of a layer of barrier material having an access aperture defined therein.
  • the access aperture is covered by a cover layer with a permanently tacky surface, which can be engaged with the layer of barrier material to reseal the enclosure after the first opening.
  • a frame against which the cover layer may be pressed is provided in the sealed enclosure between the smoking articles and the layer of barrier material.
  • WO-A-2008/142540 discloses a hinge-lid pack of smoking articles in which the smoking articles are enclosed in an inner package with an extraction opening closed by a cover flap that is fixed to the inner package using non-dry adhesive applied to the underside of the cover flap.
  • an outer surface of a bottom tab of the cover layer is glued permanently and non-removably to an inner surface of the front wall of the lid so that opening and closing of the lid simultaneously also opens and closes the cover flap.
  • the cover flap forms an S-shaped fold when opening the lid of the hinge-lid pack.
  • S-shaped is used to refer to a shape that has the form of a curve with one inflexion point.
  • a portion of the cover layer may undesirably come into contact with another portion of the cover layer or with the lower edge of the lid front wall. As both portions of the cover layer have a non-dry re-stick adhesive the portions can stick together and affect the closing of the lid.
  • a container for consumer goods comprising an outer housing, wherein the outer housing comprises a box, and a lid hinged to the box along a hinge line extending across a back wall of the container.
  • An inner package of consumer goods is provided within the outer housing comprising an access opening through which consumer goods can be removed.
  • An adhesive label is provided covering the access opening of the inner package and extending beyond the periphery of the access opening of the inner package.
  • the adhesive label is at least partially releasably affixed to the inner package by a resealable adhesive provided on a first area of the inner surface of the adhesive label, extending about at least the lower periphery of the access opening of the inner package.
  • a second area of the inner surface of the adhesive label is permanently affixed to the inner surface of the front wall of the lid of the outer container.
  • a third area of the inner surface of the adhesive label disposed between the first and second areas is substantially free of adhesive.
  • a container with a resealable inner package may be provided that enables the container to be closed more easily.
  • the container may be closed more easily because the adhesive label does not adhere to itself, or the inner surface of the lid, during opening or closing.
  • a more securely sealed inner package may be provided because the resealable adhesive portion of the provided adhesive label only adheres to the inner package, and thus may be sealed effectively a plurality of times.
  • the height of the third area of the inner surface of the adhesive label is preferably at least about 1 mm.
  • the height of the third area is at least about 2 mm, more preferably at least about 3 mm.
  • the height of the second area of the inner surface of the adhesive label is preferably at least about 3 mm.
  • the height of the second area is at least about 4 mm, more preferably at least about 6 mm.
  • the width of the third area of the inner surface of the adhesive label is at least about 90 percent of the width of the access opening of the inner package. More preferably, the width of the third area of the inner surface of the adhesive label is substantially equal to or greater than the width of the access opening of the inner package. Yet more preferably, the width of the third area is substantially equal to the width of the adhesive label.
  • the width of the third area may be varied to change the force required to open the container. A narrower third area increases the force required to open the container, and therefore may provide a better seal between the adhesive label and the inner package. However, decreasing the width of the third area may increase the force required to close the container since the adhesive label may contact, and partially adhere to the inner surface of the lid.
  • the height of the third area of the inner surface of the adhesive label is substantially equal to or less than the height of the second area of the inner surface of the adhesive label.

  • the second area of the inner surface of the adhesive label and the first area of the outer surface of the adhesive label at least partially overly each other.
  • a container with a resealable inner package may be provided that enables the container to be closed more easily.
  • the container may be closed more easily because the adhesive label does not adhere to itself, or the inner surface of the lid, during opening or closing.
  • a more securely sealed inner package may be provided because the resealable adhesive portion of the provided adhesive label only adheres to the inner package, and thus may be sealed effectively a plurality of times.
  • the area of the second area of the adhesive label is between 100 percent and about 50 percent of the area of the first area of the outer surface of the adhesive label.
  • the adhesive label has a smaller tendency to detach from the lid when the container is opened.
  • the height of the second area of the inner surface may be at least about 1 mm, preferably at least about 2 mm, and more preferably at least about 3 mm.
  • the height of the first area of the outer surface of the adhesive label may be at least about 3 mm, preferably at least about 4 mm, and more preferably at least about 6 mm.
  • the adhesive label provided, in the first and second aspects of the present invention, for sealing the access portion over the access opening comprises a resealable adhesive, such that the label can be removed from a surface of the inner package and reattached a number of times. This allows for repeated opening and closing of the inner package in order to access the consumer goods individually.
  • the resealable adhesive on the adhesive label will preferably provide sufficient adhesion for the label to be reattached at least as many times as there are consumer goods within the inner package. This enables a consumer to open and reseal the inner package until the package is empty.
  • Suitable resealable adhesives are known to the skilled person and a wide variety of adhesives are commercially available from a number of suppliers. The selection of a suitable adhesive may depend upon the material forming the inner package to which the adhesive label is sealed or resealed during use.
  • the adhesive label preferably comprises an adhesive free surface area, wherein this adhesive free surface area corresponds in size to the access opening in the inner package.
  • this adhesive free surface area covers the access opening in the inner package. This will prevent dust or small particles, for example tobacco shorts or other residue from the consumer goods within the package, from adhering to the adhesive label. This may happen, for example, if the adhesive label comes into contact with the consumer goods within the inner package.
  • the access aperture of the inner package is defined by one or more lines of weakness in the inner package.
  • the one or more lines of weakness define an access portion of the inner package.
  • the adhesive label comprises a further area of the inner surface of the adhesive label permanently affixed to the access portion of the inner package bounded by the one or more lines of weakness.
  • the access portion of the inner package is preferably partially separated from the remainder of the inner package along the one or more lines of weakness on first opening of the lid of the outer housing such that the access portion of the inner package remains attached to the remainder of the inner package during subsequent opening and closing of the lid of the outer housing.
  • the resealable adhesive provided on the first area of the inner surface of the adhesive label may extend about substantially the entire periphery of the access portion of the inner package.
  • the adhesive label is permanently affixed to the inner package, at least partially. More preferably, the adhesive label is permanently affixed to the inner package by a connection portion extending about substantially the entire periphery of the adhesive label.
  • the connection portion is connected to the adhesive label along an edge of the adhesive label adjacent an edge of the access portion. Preferably, the connection edge is located towards the back of the top of the inner package.
  • the container further comprises an inner frame within the inner package.
  • the inner frame is a U-shaped inner frame having a front wall and a pair of opposed side walls.
  • the inner frame may be provided between the container and the inner package.
  • an inner frame with a large surface area increases the structural strength of the container. The increased structural strength provided by the inner frame allows a secure closing of the adhesive label.
