Abstract

It is often required, in the case of hinge-lid boxes, to introduce enclosed leaflets or coupons (29) into the pack such that they can be seen at least when the pack is opened for the first time. A positionally correct arrangement of such a coupon (29) is ensured by a stop in the form of a lug (32) in the lower region of a collar front wall (16) of a collar (15). The coupon (29) is supported on said lug (32).
