Abstract

A hinge-lid pack (10) for cigarettes or similar items is provided with a printing carrier (28) made of a separate blank and intended to accommodate pieces of information, advertisements, etc. The printer carrier (28) is arranged at the hinge-lid pack (10) such that a portion, namely the anchoring portion (29, 32), is located on the inner side of the lid (12), and another portion, namely a visible portion (30), projects from the hinge-lid pack and abuts the front wall (31) of the pack. The anchoring portion (29, 32) of the printing carrier (28) is severably anchored to the lid (11) by restraining the printing carrier between the lid corner tabs (19, 20) and a lid top wall (21).
