Abstract

Hinge-lid packs are normally comprised of a lower pack part (10) and a lid (11) which is pivotably connected thereto. The hinge-lid pack is designed such as to have a hexagonal cross-section with beveled front edges (30, 31) of the pack part (10) and the lid (11), thereby forming chamfers (34, 35).
