Abstract

A container for smoking articles has an outer housing including a hinged lid rotatable between open and closed positions. An inner package has an access opening through which smoking articles can be removed. The access opening can be covered by a reclosable flap when the hinged lid is in the closed position. With the lid in the closed position, the reclosable flap forms an overlap region with a surface of the inner package that extends around the periphery of the access opening. The overlap region includes a first adhering region to releasably affix the surface of the inner package and the reclosable flap, and a first non-adhering region. The first non-adhering region includes a portion of the periphery of the access opening.
