A tamper-evident, child-proof package having an outer package and having an inner package, the inner package being at least partially received in the outer package, and the inner package for opening and closing the package being disposed so as to be displaceable in the outer package, and the package has at least one securing structure as an anti-tamper feature for impeding or preventing the opening of the package, or the access to the products disposed in the inner package. The at least one securing structure is effective between the inner package and the outer package so as to impede or prevent the inner package being displaced in the outer package in order for the package to be opened.

Tamper-evident package, in particular child-proof package

A tamper-evident, child-proof package, having an outer package and having an inner package, the inner package being at least partially received in the outer package, and the inner package for opening and closing the package being disposed so as to be displaceable in the outer package, and the package has at least one securing structure as an anti-tamper feature for impeding or preventing the opening of the package, or the access to the products disposed in the inner package. The at least one securing structure is effective between the inner package and the outer package so as to impede or prevent the inner package being displaced in the outer package in order for the package to be opened.

A sealing block for a cigarette group () is provided on the inside with an internal collar (). The latter is composed of an internal front wall (), an internal base wall (), and internal side flaps (). The internal base wall () is configured in a reinforcing manner by folding flaps disposed on top of one another, specifically by the base tab and the base flap.

Cigarette pack with sealing block

Cigarette pack

A cuboidal cigarette pack with a large-surface-area pack side, namely rear side (), is provided with a blank (), which serves as a printing carrier, in the region of this rear side (). The blank is positioned between an outer wrapper () of film and the pack (). A top region of the blank () is connected to a detachable top part of the outer wrapper, namely a film cap (), and is also removed when the pack () is opened for the first time.

Cigarette package with coupon and method and device for the production thereof

Folding box (hinge-lid pack) for cigarettes of the like, comprising a box component ( ), a lid ( ) and a collar ( ), with a print carrier ( ) being positioned in the folding box between a collar front wall ( ) on one hand, and a box front wall , on the other hand. In a preferred embodiment, the folding box is provided with a window ( ) in said area.

Folding box for cigarettes

For supplying production and packaging machines, in particular for supplying lines ( ) for producing and packaging cigarettes, an intermediate store ( ) is provided for storing packaging material, to be precise for pallets ( ) with reels ( ) of web-like material. Pallets ( ) with the packaging material are fed to the intermediate store ( ) by a pallet conveyor ( ). A separate reel conveyor ( ) transports reels ( ), as required, to the individual machines and subassemblies of the lines ( ).

Arrangement for supplying packaging machines with packaging material

Cigarette pack, i.e. a soft pack, composed of a blank of thin, foldable packaging material, which is made of a paper layer and an outer plastic layer of thermally sealable material. Due to respective folding in the area of bottom wall ( ), top wall ( ) and side wall ( ), folding webs partially overlap with outer plastic layers ( ) directly facing each other and being sealed together or with the plastic layer being joined by sealing with the paper layer or a further inner layer.

Cigarette package

In the handling of cigarettes in the region of a cigarette-packaging machine or the like, the first filling operation of containers, conveying sections and cigarette magazine ( ) is problematic because the cigarettes ( ) are conveyed largely under their own weight during operation of the installation. In order to avoid impairment of the cigarettes as the installation is filled therewith, the containers, conveying sections and the cigarette magazine are assigned supporting and guide elements which are moved downwards or horizontally within the (empty) spaces in accordance with the filling operation, with the result that the cigarettes pass into the corresponding space with support and guidance.

Process and apparatus for conveying cigarettes

In configuring soft packs for cigarettes from a single (-piece) blank, firstly, in the region of a base wall, a material reinforcement is formed by double-layered arrangement of the blank. In order to protect the cigarettes against glue being transferred during gluing of the folding tabs of the base wall, a covering tab is arranged on the inside, above the base wall. An extended base corner tab serves here as a covering. In addition, in the region adjacent to an end wall ( ), a multi-layered material strip is formed by a Z-shaped fold. In the region of overlap of the material strip on a side wall ( ), at least one cutout is arranged in one layer, said cutout ensuring a correct closed position of the layers in this region.

Cigarette packet

Method of cleaning packaging machines, in particular cigarette packaging machines, with the aid of cleaning bodies (,) which are directed through the packaging machine instead of pack contents and packaging material. The cleaning bodies (,) are thus configured and dimensioned in approximately the same way as the pack contents&mdash;cigarette group&mdash;or pack.
