Abstract
A pack made from thin or low-strength packaging material, especially a bundle pack for cigarettes. To increase the load-bearing capacity of a pack made from thin packaging material, for example paper, a blank for an outer wrapping (14) is provided with local reinforcements, namely, for example, reinforcing strips 15, 16, 17, 18 which are arranged at distances from one another and parallel to one another preferably on the inside of the blank, and which are connected to the latter. As regards outer wrappings (14) having windows or recesses (19) for affixing revenue stamps, etc. to the wrapped cigarette packs (10), the reinforcing strips (15 to 18) extend in such a way that transverse webs (22) formed between the recesses (19) each have a reinforcement.
