Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in and relating to packaging, in particular for rolled smoking articles, such as cigarettes, cigars and the like.
  • the invention further encompasses a method for packaging, and packages, particularly packages of rolled smoking articles, produced according to this method.
  • the packet may comprise a box arranged to open at one end thereof; one such packet well known in the art comprises a hinged top.
  • the packet is cuboidal in shape, having rectangular side, front and rear walls, and is sized to accommodate between ten and twenty cigarettes. The packet is therefore conveniently sized to be placed within the pocket or handbag of a user.
  • a cigarette box of this type is described in US-A-5938017, which discloses a box adapted to assist smokers in quitting smoking.
  • the cigarette box described in US-A-5938017 is cuboidal in shape, and is adapted to accommodate a plurality of cigarettes and/or plugs in place of cigarettes.
  • US-A-5513752 meanwhile describes a package for an audio cassette tape and a booklet of lyrics.
  • the package described in US-A-5513752 is also cuboidal in shape, and has a hinged or flip-top.
  • a packaging for rolled smoking articles which packaging comprises a rectilinear container that is adapted to contain a plurality of rolled smoking articles, said container having a substantially flat wall with inner and outer surfaces; characterised in that said packaging comprises a compact disc carrying electronic data assembled with said container, and holding means for holding said compact disc contiguous the inner or outer surface of said wall; wherein said compact disc comprises a shape having an outer edge and an annular data-carrying zone that is disposed wholly within said outer edge, and is arranged such that said outer edge is disposed wholly within the area of said inner or outer surface.
  • Said compact disc may carry electronic data associated with said packaging, and may be formatted such that use of the disc by a consumer will enable access by an interested third party to said data. Additionally or alternatively, said compact disc may carry electronic data to enable the user for example to download or access software, information, music, or the like on the Internet. Said compact disc may be adapted to carry up to 5MB or more of electronic data.
  • Said packaging may be handled without the risk of damaging said compact disc, owing to the fact that said compact disc is held flat against said flat wall, and is disposed wholly within the area of the inner or outer surface of said flat wall so that no part of the compact disc protrudes outside the area of the wall.
  • a method of packaging rolled smoking articles comprising the steps of providing a rectilinear container adapted to contain said rolled smoking articles, said container having a substantially flat wall with inner and outer surfaces and placing said rolled smoking articles in said container; characterised by assembling a compact disc carrying electronic data with said container; such that said compact disc is held contiguous the inner or outer surface of said wall by holding means; wherein said compact disc comprises a shape having an outer edge and an annular data-carrying zone that is disposed wholly within said outer edge, and is assembled with said container such that said outer edge is disposed wholly within the area of said inner or outer surface.
  • a package for rolled smoking articles comprising rolled smoking articles packaged by a packaging in accordance with the present invention.
  • said compact disc comprises a shape which corresponds to said wall.
  • said wall is rectangular in shape
  • said compact disc also comprises a rectangular shape, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the rectangular shape of said wall.
  • said compact disc when assembled with said container, entirely covers said inner or outer surface of the wall.
  • said holding means may be arranged to hold said compact disc contiguous said outer surface of the wall.
  • Said holding means may comprise an outer wrapping, such as a plastic film wrapping, which is arranged to envelope said container and said compact disc, thereby holding said compact disc contiguous said outer surface of the wall.
  • said holding means may comprise an adhesive, such as a hot-melt adhesive of the kind well known to those skilled in the art, which is adapted to affix said compact disc directly to said outer surface of the wall.
  • the exposed surface of said compact disc may optionally be coloured and/or decorated, for example so as to resemble said outer surface of the wall.
  • said holding means may be arranged to hold said compact disc contiguous said inner surface of the wall.
  • said holding means may comprise an inner wrapping which is adapted to enfold said rolled smoking articles; the arrangement being such that said compact disc is interposed said inner wrapping and said inner surface of the wall.
  • said rolled smoking articles will comprise cigarettes or cigars.
  • Said rolled smoking articles may however comprise other substantially cylindrical tobacco products, such as cigarillos.
  • said container may comprise a paper or cardboard packet, preferably with a hinge- or flip-topped lid.
  • an inner wrapping is provided for enfolding said rolled smoking products.
  • said inner wrapping can be resealed, so as to preserve the freshness of said rolled smoking articles.
  • a cigarette package 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a container 2 having an integral hinged lid 3 and a substantially flat rectangular rear wall 4; a compact disc 5; and an outer wrapping 6 which envelopes said compact disc 5 and said container 2, thereby serving to hold said compact disc 5 contiguous the outer surface of said rear wall 4, and to seal the contents of the container.
  • said compact disc 5 has a rectangular shape which corresponds to the rectangular shape of said rear wall 4, such that said compact disc 5 covers substantially the whole of the outer surface of said rear wall 4 but does not protrude outside the area of said rear wall 4.
  • Said compact disc 5 comprises an annular data-carrying zone 10, which is disposed wholly within the area of said rear wall 4. Zone 10 carries electronic data, optionally for enabling the tracing of said cigarette package 1, and/or for enabling the user of said compact disc 5 to access or download information, music and the like from the Internet.
  • Said compact disc 5 comprises an upper layer 11 which can be decorated with colourings, graphics and the like, and a lower layer (not shown) which comprises a protective transparent plastics material.
  • Said compact disc 5 is oriented such that said lower layer is disposed contiguous the outer surface of said rear wall 4, whilst said upper layer 11 is exposed.
  • Said container 2 comprises an inner lining 7, and is adapted to accommodate cigarettes 8.
  • Container 2 is formed in a manner known to the skilled man from a light robust material such as cardboard.
  • Said outer wrapping 6 comprises a transparent plastics material, and is shrink-wrapped around said compact disc 5 and said container 2 in a manner well known in the art. When purchased by a consumer, said outer wrapping 6 can be removed from the container 2 and discarded, thereby allowing the consumer to detach the compact disc 5 from the package 1.
  • FIG. 3 A similar cigarette package in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in Figure 3.
  • said compact disc 5 is disposed within said container 2, and is held contiguous the inner surface of said rear wall 4, interposed said lining 7 and the rear wall 4.
  • said compact disc can be withdrawn from the container 2 for use. Said compact disc can subsequently be replaced in said container 2, for storage therein.
