Abstract

A folded cigarette box having a hinged lid is made from a single blank having cutout portions, some of which form some of the exterior walls of the box and others of which form interior wall flaps which are of reduced size relative to the exterior wall portions but which are located so that the resulting cigarette package has the same rigidity as packages incorporating a greater quantity of material in the original blank.
