Abstract
A hinge-lid container includes a box portion and a lid portion hinged to the box portion. The box portion includes an integral first panel connected to the remainder of the container along a first hinge line and an integral second panel. The first panel in an initial position forms at least part of a wall of the box portion and the second panel in an initial position underlies the first panel. The first panel is defined in the wall of the box portion by at least one line of weakness in the initial position and is foldable about the first hinge line from the initial position to a second position in which it is hinged outwardly from the remainder of the container. The second panel is connected to the remainder of the container along a second hinge line. The box portion can include an integral third panel.
