  • the number of preinstalled adhesive strips may in other embodiments be fewer or more.
  • the first lid panel may alternatively e.g., be adhesively connected to the second lid panel by providing a glue, such as a hot melt glue, between the first and second lid panels.
  • a glue such as a hot melt glue
  • the adhesive connection is performed with the use of one or more adhesive strips.
  • the respective adhesive strip is preferably preinstalled on a respective one of the panels and is preferably protected by a cover strip which covers the adhesive surface of the adhesive strip until the user intends to close the package, whereby the user removes the cover strip and exposes the adhesive surface such that the first and second lid panels may be adhesively connected to each other.
  • the first lid panel 40 may be easy attached to the second lid panel 50 which creates an easy solution for locking the package 200 by pressing the adhesive strips 43 of the first lid panel 40 against the second lid panel 50.
  • the first lid panel 40 of the preferred embodiment further is provided with a tear line 44 extending transversely across the first lid panel 40. Extend across is in this context intended to refer to an extension across the full width of the first lid panel 40 along the transverse direction.
  • the tear tearing of the first lid panel 40 along the tear line 44 may be facilitated by the provision of a local weakening of the material, such as by the provision of a perforation or at least a tear initiating cut, and/or by the provision of a local strengthening, such as by the provision of a tear string. It may be noted that the local weakening and/or local strengthening need not extend across the full width of the first lid panel 40. However, preferably the local weakening and/or local strengthening extends at least along a major part of the transversal extension of the first lid panel. It is preferred that the local weakening and/or strengthening extends across the full width of the first lid panel.

  • the first and/or the second lid panel 40, 50 is provided with a second preinstalled adhesive strip 43, which preferably still is protected by a cover strip, wherein the second adhesive strip 43 is, as seen along the longitudinal direction L, positioned where there still is an overlap between the first and second lid panels 40, 50 even though the first lid panel 40 has been reduced in length by being torn along the tear line 44.
  • This second preinstalled adhesive strip 43 may e.g., be used for reclosing the package 200. This may e.g., be useful in case the package 200 is used for commercial applications where some of the goods often is returned to the original sender.
  • the blank further comprises two support panels 60a, 60b being oppositely arranged on a respective one of two oppositely arranged longitudinally extending sides 50c, 50d of the second lid panel 50.

  • Each support panel 60a, 60b has, as seen in a flat-laid state of the blank 1, a transversal extension being equal to a transversal extension of the respective one of the end wall panels 30a, 30b, such that a transversely outer edge 60a1, 60b1 of the respective support panel 60a, 60b, as seen in a flat-laid state of the blank 1, is capable of extending to and abut an inner major surface 11 of the bottom panel 10 when the blank is erected to form the package 200.
  • the support panels 60a, 60b provide improved stability for the end walls 230a, 230b by providing an extra layer of material to the end walls.
  • the support panels also provide improved stability for the second lid panel which in its turn give improved stability for the first lid panel by the support panels 60a, 60b abutting the inner major surface 11 of the bottom panel 10 when the blank is erected to form the package 200.
  • the extra stability provided by the support panels gives extra protection from mechanical impact both against the end walls as well as against the lid.
  • the stability of the lid also makes the package suitable for stacking and resistant to pressure against the lid.
  • the blank 1 of figure 1 further comprises two additional support panels 70a, 70b being oppositely arranged on a respective one of two oppositely arranged longitudinally extending sides 40c, 40d of the first lid panel 40.
