Abstract
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.
