There is provided a package for tobacco products or tobacco related commodities or smoking devices (), wherein the package () includes an information encoding pattern (). The information encoding pattern comprises at least one first area () having a first conductive or dielectric property and at least one second area () having a second conductive or dielectric property. The first conductive property is different from the second conductive property and the first dielectric property is different from the second dielectric property. The information encoding pattern is configured to be detectable by a capacitive touch screen (), e.g. a touch screen of a mobile device (), such as a smartphone or tablet computer, when the information encoding pattern interacts with the touch screen, i.e. when the information encoding pattern approaches and/or touches the touch screen.

Packaging with an information encoding pattern

The invention relates to a container for tobacco related or smoking related articles, in particular snus, and a method of manufacturing such a container. The container comprises a base portion and a top portion defining a first compartment between the base portion and the top portion. The base portion or the top portion comprises a displaceable wall and a cover defining a second compartment between the displaceable wall and the cover. The displaceable wall is coupled to the base portion or the top portion by a screw thread for displacing the displaceable wall by rotating the displaceable wall.

A package () for tobacco-related articles comprises an outer shell (), a lid () which is adapted to close the top side of the outer shell () and can be swivelled about a hinge line, and an inner shell (). The inner shell () accommodates a plurality of tobacco-related articles and can be shifted in the outer shell () from a retracted position to an advanced position, which enables access to the tobacco-related articles. A cutout () in the outer shell () exposes part of the inner shell () and enables transmitting a force onto the inner shell () for moving the inner shell (). A connector () pushes the lid () into its opened state when the inner shell () is moved into its advanced position and pulls the lid () into its closed state when the inner shell () is moved into its retracted position.
