Abstract

In the production of hinge-lid boxes for cigarettes, outer side tabs (19) and lid side tabs (25) are folded last of all in order to form side walls of the hinge-lid box (10). The side tabs (19) and lid side tabs (25), extending in a horizontal plane, are to be provided with glue on the underside. For this purpose, glue nozzles (41, 42) are arranged in the region of a pack conveyor path (30) and have the side tabs (19) and lid side tabs (25) butting against them temporarily for the transfer of strip-like applications of glue.
