Abstract

A package includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a first side panel connecting the top panel and the bottom panel to each other and a second side panel also connecting the top panel and the bottom panel to each other. The bottom panel, the first side panel, the top panel and the second side panel form a sleeve having a cross-section essentially formed as a rectangle. The sleeve is adapted to slidably receive an insert along a sliding direction normal to the rectangle. The package includes a locking member which includes an arch-shaped portion extending into the rectangular cross section to releasably retain the insert. The present disclosure also relates to a blank for forming the package.
