Abstract
A rigid wrapper for tobacco products comprises a cupped container and a similarly cupped lid hinged together along respective rear edges, also a reinforcing frame located partly inside the container and fixed to a front face and to two flank faces of the container. The wrapper is fashioned from a substantially rectangular diecut blank with a predominating longitudinal axis, which incorporates a main portion providing the container and the lid and a longitudinal appendage providing the frame; the appendage is essentially U-shaped, hinged by two arms to two lateral panels of the blank providing respective flanks of the wrapper, and circumscribes a free longitudinally-extended extremity of the main portion shaped and creased to include a panel providing a bottom of the wrapper, also two side flaps and a longitudinal end flap functioning as bottom end folds.
