Flaps 70 and 72 are folded inwardly at right angles to the inner rear walls 74 and 76 . Reinforcement flap 60 is folded onto the inside of the front wall 62 and fixed to it. Top wall 68 is folded about the fold line between it and the rear wall 84 onto the flaps 70 and 72 and in this example fixed to the flaps 70 and 72 . In another example the flaps 70 and 72 are free.

  • the system of combining packs of cigarettes as described herein may also be applied to combining cartons of cigarettes; a carton being the package that contains packs of cigarettes.
  • a carton is usually arranged with two rows of five packs of cigarettes and provides a package having a parallelepiped shape similar to a cigarette pack.
  • the strap system for combining cigarette packs may be applied to combining two or more cartons together.
  • the application of the strap system to the cartons would be particularly desirable for packaging cigarette packs, which utilise the strap system, because the packaging of the carton would be indicative of the packs it contains.
  • Smoking articles include cigarettes, cigars, and cigarillos amongst other such articles.
  • the packages and packs contained therein described by way of example above are generally rectangular with four faces upstanding from a rectangular base.
  • a pack may have two major faces upstanding from a base, the two faces meeting at two edges.
  • the edges are formed by faces at right angles. That is not essential to the invention: the packs and packages may have edges at least between the side walls and the front and rear walls which are rounded, bevelled, or elliptical, or other edge shapes including those known in the art.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the base of the pack containing for example cigarettes may be a shape other than rectangular, for example other quadrilateral shapes such as a square.
  • Two square packs may be combined with the strap system described above to provide a package having a rectangular base comprised of two squares arranged side-by side.
  • a three sided polygon may be applicable, that is to say a triangle.

  • the end of the second strap S 2 is then fixed at the second side face SF 2 of the first pack.
  • the arrangement of the straps provides for the first strap S 1 being hinged about the first edge E 1 ′ of the second pack P 2 and the first E 1 and third edges E 3 of the first pack P 1 .
  • the second strap S 2 is hinged about the second edge E 2 of the first pack P 1 and the first E 1 ′ and third edges E 3 ′ of the second pack P 2 .
