Abstract

Packaging for a plurality of small packs, especially cigarette packs. Several cigarette packs (21) are combined to form small groups or bundles, so-called sticks (20). Each group of cigarette packs (21) is held together by means of a wrapping (22) consisting of paper, cardboard of film material. So that at least the bottom walls (27) of the cigarette packs (21) are exposed or are accessible, the wrapping (22) is open on at least one side (longitudinal side 28). The cigarette packs (21) are connected to one another and to the wrapping (22) by means of an adhesively bonded film strip (30) or by means of individual strips (36, 37). Markings can be made on the film strip (29). The packaging (stick 20) is simple to produce mechanically and is easy to handle.
