Abstract

Containers that include a housing that includes a box and a lid that is hingedly attached to the box. The container also includes an inner package disposed at least partially within the housing and at least partially defining an interior volume for housing consumer goods. The inner package includes a first layer and a second layer. The container also includes an insert positioned between the inner surface of the front wall of the box and the outer surface of the front wall of the inner package. The insert is positioned entirely below the sealing region and is positioned so that the lowest point of the upper edge of the box is lower than the highest point of the upper edge of the insert.
