Definitions

  • Longitudinal crease lines 17 of lateral bands 16 are spaced relatively far apart to impart relatively large curve radius R1 to lateral bands 16, while longitudinal crease lines 18 of rounded longitudinal edges 13 are relatively close together to impart relatively small curve radius R2 to rounded longitudinal edges 13.
  • each end wall 7, 8 of packet 1 has an outwardly convex profile, is connected to each minor lateral wall 9 along a respective rounded minor transverse edge 14, and forms, with each minor lateral wall 9, a respective substantially obtuse dihedral angle. More specifically, each end wall 7, 8 comprises a flat central portion, and two lateral bands precreased by transverse crease lines; and each lateral band curves with its concavity facing inwards to connect the central portion to the corresponding minor lateral wall 9, and to form, with minor lateral wall 9, a respective substantially obtuse dihedral angle.
