Abstract

In hinge-lid packs, especially such with rounded or beveled pack edges (23, 24, 25, 26), an additional closing aid is desirable. To this end, in the upper region of a collar (35) or collar side walls (37, 38) thereof, projections (40) are formed which, in the closed position, correspond to counter projections (43) on the inside of lid side walls (19, 20).
