The invention relates to a method to unwind a sheet of material wound in a bobbin, the method comprising: providing a bobbin of a coiled sheet, the bobbin defining an outer surface and comprising a free portion of the sheet unwound from the bobbin; arranging a compressing element on the outer surface of the bobbin, so as to define a contact line, the contact line being the line separating the free portion of the sheet from the rest of the bobbin; pressing by means of the compressing element the outer surface of the coiled sheet at the contact line with a force comprised between about (4) Newton and about (16) Newton; and unwinding the sheet from the bobbin pulling the sheet in the unwinding direction.

The present invention relates to a method for unwinding a bobbin () of a coiled sheet (), the method comprising the steps of: providing a bobbin of a coiled sheet, the bobbin having a first rotation axis () and comprising a free portion () of the sheet unwound from the bobbin, the free portion () defining a contact line () as a line separating the free portion and the remaining of the coiled sheet (); providing a roller () having a second rotation axis substantially parallel to the first rotation axis (); putting the roller () in contact with the bobbin () at the contact line (); unwinding the sheet from the bobbin () pulling the sheet in an unwinding direction such that an angle between the free portion of the sheet and a radius of the bobbin at the contact line is comprised between about 110 degrees and about 150 degrees or between about 200 degrees and about 300 degrees; and while unwinding the sheet from the bobbin keeping the roller in contact with the outer surface of the bobbin. The present invention also relates to a kit to unwind a sheet of material wound in a bobbin.

Containers that include a housing that includes a box and a lid that is hingedly attached to the box. The container also includes an inner package disposed at least partially within the housing and at least partially defining an interior volume for housing consumer goods. The inner package includes a first layer and a second layer. The container also includes an insert positioned between the inner surface of the front wall of the box and the outer surface of the front wall of the inner package. The insert is positioned entirely below the sealing region and is positioned so that the lowest point of the upper edge of the box is lower than the highest point of the upper edge of the insert.

The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a cast sheet of homogenized tobacco material, said method comprising: &#x2022;pulping () cellulose fibres () with water (); &#x2022;grinding () a blend of tobacco of one or more tobacco types to tobacco particles (); &#x2022;combining () the pulped cellulose fibres with the tobacco particles and with a binder () to form a slurry; &#x2022;homogenizing the slurry; &#x2022;casting () the slurry to form a cast sheet of homogenized tobacco material from the slurry; &#x2022;discarding () undesired portions of the cast sheet; and &#x2022;introducing () the discarded undesired portions () of the cast sheet into the slurry.
