  • the US 4 015 769 relates to a cigarette pack of the type folding carton in a particular embodiment in which the lid is connected in the region of a narrow side wall with the box part (side-lid-pack). At least the lid is asymmetrically formed with respect to a (imaginary) central transverse plane. An end wall of the lid extends in an inclined plane, so that above the contents of the package, an approximately triangular-shaped interior is created.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a conventional folding box with respect to the arrangement of the lid on the box part such that the external appearance improves handling easier and beyond at least one free space is created within the pack.
