- a pack of smoking articles, with wrapping 2 provided with a closing label 3, object of the present invention has been generically denoted with the numerical reference 1.
- the wrapping 2 can be obtained starting from a flexible sheet 2' (for example of aluminium) which can be folded according to known processes, such as, for example, the soap-fold or the flow-pack method (described in document WO9849072) .
- a first embodiment of the pack of smoking articles 1 object of the present invention is described in the following.
- the pack of smoking articles 1 comprises: a group of smoking articles 4; the wrapping 2 that is flexible, which encloses the group of smoking articles 4 and which comprises an extraction opening 5 for extracting the smoking articles 4 from the wrapping 2; a container 6 which contains the wrapping 2 and the group of smoking articles 4; the closing label 3 which comprises a first portion 30 which is removably fixed to the wrapping 2 in order to be able to open and close the extraction opening 5 so as to allow and prevent access to the group of smoking articles 4 through the extraction opening 5.
- the wrapping 2 has an upper wall 20 in which the extraction opening 5 is obtained and a pair of opposite lateral sides 21 (the lateral sides 21 are not adjacent to one another) .
- the pair of lateral sides 21 are connected to the upper wall 20 at respective edges 22.
- the closing label 3 comprises a second portion 31 which is irremovably fixed to the wrapping 2 at the upper wall 20 of the wrapping 2 and at the lateral sides 21 so as to cover the aforementioned edges 22.
- the proposed pack of smoking articles 1 has a smooth and optimally finished upper wall 20 also near the edges 22. In other words, the upper wall 20 of the wrapping 2 does not show folds even near the edges 22.
- the second portion 31 of the closing label 3 partially covers the lateral sides 21 of the wrapping 2; i.e. the second portion 31 of the closing label 3 covers a limited part of each lateral side 21 of the wrapping 2 arranged at a mentioned edge 22, leaving a remaining part of the lateral side 21 of the wrapping (2) uncovered.
- the closing label 3 has a reduced development while thus covering the edges 22.
- the material used for making the closing label 3 is reduced.
- the second portion 31 of the closing label 3 covers part of the upper wall 20 of the wrapping 2 and part of the lateral sides 21 of the wrapping 2 ( Figure 9) .
- the second portion 31 of the closing label 3 comprises a first part 31a and a second part 31b each covering one of the mentioned edges 22.
- the first part 31a is connected to the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 at a first weakening line 32 and the second part 31b is connected to the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 at a second weakening line 33.
- said first weakening line 32 and second weakening line 33 facilitate the separation of the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 from the second portion 31 when the extraction opening 5 of the wrapping 2 is opened for the first time.
- the first weakening line 31 and the second weakening line 32 can be identified in cutting lines of the closing label 3; said cutting lines can be completely cut-through or can be cut-through in segments.
- the closing label 3 can comprise an opening tab 35 which is connected to the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 and which can be grasped for opening and closing the extraction opening 5.
- the opening tab 35 is free, that is, it is not glued to the wrapping 2: to open the extraction opening 5, the opening tab 35 is grasped and the first portion 30 is detached from the wrapping 2 with consequent opening of the extraction opening 5.
- the first weakening line 32 and the second weakening line 33 can be parallel to one another.
- the detachment of the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 from the second portion 31 is simplified.
- the first weakening line 32, the second weakening line 33 and the mentioned edges 22 are parallel to one another .
- the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 can be removably fixed to the wrapping 2 at the edge of the extraction opening 5 of the wrapping 2. Consequently, the pack of smoking articles 1 can comprise non-dry, re-stick glue between the first portion 30 of the closing label 2 and the wrapping 2 at the edge of the extraction opening 5.
- the second portion 31 of the closing label 3 can be fixed to the wrapping 2 with re-stick glue or with permanent glue. In any case, the second portion 31 of the closing label 3 is not intended to be separated from the wrapping 2.
- the wrapping 2 comprises a front wall 23 and a rear wall 24 opposite (and preferably parallel) to the front wall 23 (e.g. the wrapping can have a parallelepiped shape) .
- the closing label 3 can comprise a third portion 34 which is fixed to the wrapping 2 at the rear wall 24 and which is connected at least to the first portion 30 or to the second portion 31.
- the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 still remains connected to the wrapping 2 (at least by means of the third portion 34) .
- the third portion 34 furthermore, could be connected both to the first portion 30 and to the second portion 31 ( Figure 5) .
- the third portion 34 is fixed to the wrapping 2 with permanent glue.
- the container 6 comprises: a containment portion 60 which is cup shaped, which contains the wrapping 2 and the group of smoking articles 4 and which has an upper open end 60a; a lid 61 which is hinged to the containment portion 60 for opening and closing the upper open end 60a of the containment portion 60.
- the wrapping 2 protrudes from the upper open end 60a of the containment portion 60.
- the container 6 can be rigid.
- the container 6 can be made of cardboard.
- the closing label 3 has a thickness greater than the thickness of the wrapping 2.
- the greater thickness of the closing label 3 ensures to obtain a smooth wrapping 2 and without folds also near the edges 22.
- the closing label 3 can be made of a plastic material.
- the closing label 3 has a thickness comprised between 70 ⁇ and 100 ⁇ .
- the wrapping 2 can be made of a heat-sealable material and/or of a multilayer material.
- the wrapping 2 is made of a sheet of material having a thickness comprised between 25 ⁇ and 50 ⁇ (e.g. 35 ⁇ ) .
- the wrapping 2 is obtained by folding a flexible sheet 2' of heat-sealable material according to the flow-pack method, wherein the closing label 3 is fixed to the flexible sheet 2' before its folding .
- the flexible sheet 2' has a rectangular shape, with a longitudinal development, and is provided with two longitudinal pre-folding lines 8 which are parallel to the development direction of the sheet 2' and which delimit two longitudinal end areas 80 at which the hot-sealing is then performed. Moreover, the flexible sheet 2' is provided with six transversal pre-folding lines 9, parallel to one another and perpendicular to the longitudinal pre-folding lines 8 which delimit two transverse end areas 90 which will be heat- sealed one to the other.
- the flexible sheet 2' is folded around the group of smoking articles 4 which are housed in a frame 7 ( Figures 3-4) .
- the wrapping 2 was obtained by folding a flexible sheet 2' of heat-sealable material according to the flow-pack method, wherein the closing label 3 is fixed to the wrapping 2 after folding the flexible sheet 2'.
- the flexible sheet 2' (without closing label 3) is folded according to the flow-pack method so as to obtain the wrapping 2 of Figure 10 and, subsequently, the closing label 3 is fixed to the wrapping 2 ( Figure 11) .
- a flexible sheet 2 is illustrated similar to that of Figure 5 wherein the closing label 3 has a different shape.
- the closing label 3 illustrated in Figure 12 is such that the second portion 31 is irremovably fixed to the wrapping 2, as well as to the upper wall 20 and to the side walls 21, also at the front wall 23 and at the rear wall 24.
- the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 is fixed to the flexible sheet 2' with non- dry, re-stick glue (light gray in Figure 13) at and around the edge of the extraction opening 5 of the wrapping 2 and with permanent glue inside the edge of the extraction opening 5 of the wrapping 2 (dark gray in Figure 13); the second portion 31 and the third portion 34 of the closing label 3 are fixed to the flexible sheet 20 with permanent glue (dark gray in Figure 13); the opening tab 35 is free.
- first weakening line 32 and the second weakening line 33 are identified in partially through-cutting lines: consequently, in order to lift the closing label 3, a force must be exerted so as to overcome the strength of the re-stick glue and to break the segments of the first weakening line 32 and of the second weakening line 33 without a through-cut.
- Figure 14 highlights the glue mapping of the closing label 3: the first portion 30 of the closing label 3 is fixed to the flexible sheet 2' with non- dry, re-stick glue (light gray in Figure 14) ; the second portion 31 and the third portion 34 of the closing label 3 are fixed to the flexible sheet 20 with permanent glue (dark gray in figure 14) ; the opening tab 35 is free.
- first weakening line 32 and the second weakening line 33 are identified in through-cutting lines: consequently, in order to lift the closing label 3 it is necessary to exert a force such as to overcome only the strength of the re-stick glue.
