  • the counter-tab is preferably provided with a punch opening which forms a support edge for the click tab.
  • Another special feature is the preparation of a blank with click tab and counterflap for the production of the pack.

  • the box edge 34 forms a recess or recess 35 of the box front wall 17. In the present case, this is off-centered or offset towards an edge and serves to facilitate removal of the package contents (after removal of a flap in the region of the front side of the inner envelope) 11).
