Abstract
Pack made of thin cardboard, especially for cigarettes. In slide packs, a cigarette group (11) enwrapped by an inner wrapping (12) is located within a box part (17) being open at the top. This box part (17) is slideably arranged in a casing (18) open on one side (push-out opening 29). An oppositely situated side wall (30) is closed except for an actuating opening (41). For mechanically producing such packs, the casing (18) is designed such that in an intermediate folding position it can be folded down flat. In this intermediate folding position, side tabs (39, 40) for forming the side wall (30) of the casing (18) extend in the plane of front wall (32) and rear wall (33).
