A hinge lid container () for consumer articles comprises a box () and a hinge lid () connected to the box along a hinge line and pivotable about the hinge line between a closed position and an open position. The hinge lid comprises a first lid wall () and a lid flap () depending from the first lid wall along an edge fold line, the lid flap being folded inward towards the inner surface of the first lid wall. The container is at least partially formed from a blank having a thickness (T), the laminar blank defining an edge fold portion of the container connecting the first lid wall and the lid flap. The inner surface of the edge fold portion defines an ablation area (A) having a length in the longitudinal direction of the edge fold portion and a width (W) extending transversely to said length.

Hinge lid container with lid flap

Container for consumer articles, the container being at least partially formed from a laminar blank (), the laminar blank defining a portion of the container, which includes: a first planar wall (); a second planar wall () connected to the first planar wall by a first modified edge portion (); and a third planar wall () connected to the first planar wall by a second modified edge portion (). The first modified edge portion is defined by an ablation area, on its inner surface, having one or more ablated lines (-) each having a residual thickness less than the thickness (T) of the laminar blank, the first modified edge portion an end portion tapering from a width (W) of the first portion to a point at the junction with the second modified edge portion. The second modified edge portion is defined by a plurality of creasing lines ().

Container with non-squared edges

A container for consumer goods and a laminar blank () for forming such a container. The laminar blank defines a portion of the container, which comprises: a first planar wall (); a second planar wall () connected to the first planar wall () by a first modified edge portion () forming a bevelled edge portion of the container; and a third planar wall () connected to the first planar wall () by a second modified edge portion () forming a curved edge portion of the container. The longitudinal direction of the first modified edge portion () being transverse to the longitudinal direction of the second modified edge portion (); the first modified edge portion () and the second modified edge portion () forming, when the container is assembled from the laminar blank, adjacent edge portions of the container meeting at a junction.

Container with a bevelled edge and an adjacent transverse curved edge

A blank () for forming a container for consumer articles comprises panels () for forming corresponding walls of the container. First side panels () extend from the rear wall panel () and second side panels () extend from the front wall panel (). When assembling the container, the first and the second side panels overlap to form at least part of left and right side walls. The first side panels or the second side panels or both are connected to the respective one of the rear wall panel and the front wall panel by modified edge portions (). The blank comprises a pair of flaps extending from the first side panels or the second side panels or both.

Creased blank for forming a container with round or beveled corners

A container for consumer articles is at least partially formed from a blank defining a portion of the container, which comprises a first and a second planar walls connected to one another by a curved edge portion. An inner surface of the curved edge portion defines an ablation area (A) having a length (L) in the longitudinal direction of the curved edge portion and a width (W) that extends along the curve of the curved edge portion. The ablation area comprises a plurality of pairs of ablation lines, all of which extend in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the curved edge portion. The distance (X) between two ablated zones in each pair as measured along the width (W) of the ablation area is less than the distance (Y) between two adjacent pairs of ablated zones as measured along the width (W) of the ablation area.
