Description
- The present application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60/842,774, filed Sep. 7, 2006, for all useful purposes, and the specification and drawings thereof are included herein by reference.
- The invention relates generally to cigarette packs and more particularly to a cigarette pack with an integral innerframe.
- Hinged lid boxes are known in the art of cigarette packaging. Hinged lid boxes have two components: a pack blank and an innerframe. The pack blank provides a rigid support that protects the cigarettes from being crushed or broken. A top portion of the pack blank is designed to rotate backwards for access to the cigarettes. The innerframe is provided in the top portion of the pack to engage with the top portion. The innerframe secures the lid so that it does not open inadvertently.
- Currently, the pack blank and innerframe are constructed separately and then glued or otherwise engaged to form a finished product. One disadvantage of forming the two components separately is that the increased number of processing steps and materials increases costs. Another disadvantage is that the separate production and attachment steps of the two components introduces more opportunity for imperfections in the finished product, including imperfections resulting from inexact machine cuts, imperfect component positioning, and insufficient amounts of glue between the components. These imperfections can decrease the quality and consistency of the hinged lid box closure.
- It is desired within the art to reduce pack imperfections and improve the consistency of a hinged lid closure.
- It is also desireable to reduce inventory of expensive machine parts, innerframe material, and glue associated with multiple component processing and gluing.
- It is still further desirable to save costs by reducing the amount of paperboard or cardboard, and glue used, as well as to substantially reduce machine down time by eliminating the separate innerframe set-up and associated jams.
- The art also seeks an efficient way to insert a coupon inside the cigarette hinged lid box on cigarette packers.
- The invention provides an improved cigarette pack with an integral innerframe. By incorporating the innerframe with the pack blank, the amount of paper board used is reduced by approximately 50%. Additionally, no glue is required between the innerframe and pack blank because these components are constructed from the same piece of material.
- The invention will reduce machine down time for creating a finished product because the machine downtime caused by the production of a separate innerframe component is eliminated.
- The invention may include a cigarette package for containing a plurality of cigarettes, the cigarette package comprising a main body portion and a lid portion. The body portion may include a front panel, a first side panel adjacent the front panel of the main body portion, a second side panel adjacent to the front panel of the main body portion and spaced from the first side panel of the main body portion, a back panel adjacent to the first and second side panels of the main body portion and spaced from the front panel of the main body portion, and a bottom panel adjacent the front panel of the main body portion, the side panels of the main body portion and the back panel of the main body portion.
