Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19918687A1] The invention relates to a unitary package for cigarette packs (11) - a so-called cigarette carton. Said unitary package comprises a unitary package blank (16) that encloses a group of packs (10) and that has a front wall (17), a back wall (18), side walls (19, 20) and end walls (21, 22). The front wall (17) is provided with a window (27) through which parts of several packs can be seen from outside so that the content of the unitary package is easier to identify.
