Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9849072A1] Flow seal technology is applied to cigarette packages to facilitate rapid cigarette packaging and provide excellent vapour moisture and gas barrier properties. The flow seal package (16, 18) may include a resealable cigarette access (26) which may be opened to permit withdrawal of the cigarette and then a suitable tab (25) resealed on the barrier material to reseal the access opening. The flow seal technology lends itself to vacuum packaging of the cigarettes. Due to the resealing of the access opening, freshness of the cigarettes can be maintained for up to several days.
