Abstract

The hinge-lid box is accompanied by a printing carrier or coupon (38), which is arranged within the hinge-lid box in a position which is favorable from the point of view of production and for handling the hinge-lid box. For this purpose, the coupon (38) has a leg (41) which is directed toward a lid front wall (17) on the inside. Said leg is in form-fitting engagement with a lid inner tab (39), which is likewise arranged on the inside of the lid front wall (17). When the lid (11) is opened, the coupon is partially pulled out of the hinge-lid box or of a box part (10) of the same.
