Abstract (en)

[origin: US2021130080A1] A box-in-box package includes a rigid outer box made of a foil lined paperboard having a hinged lid configured to provide access to an inner volume of the outer box, a rigid inner box made of a foil lined paperboard having a front wall, a back wall, a top wall, a bottom wall and side walls, and a single opening extending across the top wall and part way down the front wall, the opening configured to provide access to consumer goods in an inner volume of the inner box. The opening in the inner box is a cut-out in the foil lined paperboard. The package can provide an improved barrier to loss of flavor characteristics, a simplified opening arrangement which eliminates a re-sealable pull tab over the opening, better physical protection of product contained in the package, a unique method of opening and closing the package, and a less expensive manufacturing process by eliminating package materials and processing steps to assemble the package with tobacco products such as cigarettes therein.
