Abstract
A rigid type wrapper () with a hinged lid () is fashioned from a flat diecut blank () presenting a treated face and an untreated face and comprising a main portion () destined to form the container () and the lid () of the wrapper (), also an appendage (), destined to provide a stiffening frame (), appearing as a first portion () and two connecting arms () terminating at the opposite ends in first and second precreased fold lines () along which the arms () are hinged respectively to the main portion () and to the first portion () of the blank. The frame () is erected by rotating the arms () about the respective first precreased fold line () to the point at which they are bent double over the main portion (), and simultaneously rotating the first portion () of the appendage () about the respective second precreased fold lines () to the point at which the treated face of the first portion () is bent double over the untreated face of the main portion (), so that when the wrapper () is fully assembled, the frame () will be positioned with the treated surface facing outwards.
