Abstract

Hinge-lid packets, especially of the round-edge type, comprise packet portion (10) and lid (11) as well as collar (23). The closed position of a packet of this type is often unsatisfactory. A closing aid is therefore provided which consists of a closing tab (35) in the region of a collar front wall (24) on the one hand and a lid inner flap (36) on the inner side of a lid front wall (17) on the other hand. The closing members mentioned above move into a closed position, mutually interlocking.
