Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016005595A1] The method for preparing a container for consumer articles, comprises the steps of providing an inner tray element having at least one enclosing means for holding a collation of consumer articles and confining the consumer articles to a holding area, placing consumer articles within the at least one holding area, optionally wrapping the inner tray element holding the consumer articles with an inner liner, placing the filled inner tray element on a blank and folding the blank around the filled inner tray element to obtain a container. The container has a box portion comprising a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls which extend between the front wall and the rear wall. The cross-section of the at least one holding area is at least 10 percent smaller than the cross-section of the box portion of the container. At least one of the outer dimensions of the inner tray element correspond with the inner dimensions of the box portion of the container, such that the inner tray element holding the collation of consumer articles can be placed within the container and holds the collation of consumer articles in a stable position The invention also relates to a container obtainable by this method.
