A method for producing cigarette packs (10) comprising:

• stamping a blank (33) for an inner pack (12) made of thin cardboard into a pocket (61) of a folding turret (60) during partial folding of the blank (33), the inner pack (12) having a front wall (36), an end wall (37), a rear wall (39), a bottom wall (48), inner lateral tabs (51) extending from the rear wall (39), bottom corner tabs (54) extending from the inner lateral tabs (51), end corner tabs (55) extending from the end wall (37), and outer lateral tabs (52, 53) extending from the front wall (36);
• folding the inner lateral tabs (51) in a region of lateral walls (50) of the inner pack (12) and the bottom corner tabs (54) of the inner pack (12), the lateral walls (50) being formed by overlapping of the inner and outer lateral tabs (51, 52, 53);
• introducing a group of cigarettes (11) into the partially folded blank (33);
• folding the front wall (36) of the inner pack (12) onto the group of cigarettes (11);
• folding the end corner tabs (55) of the inner pack (12), which are arranged on both sides of the end wall (37) of the inner pack (12) and are connected thereto, into the inner lateral tabs (51) of the lateral walls (50);
• folding the outer lateral tabs (52, 53) onto the end corner tabs (55) and the inner lateral tabs (51);
• and
• ejecting the partially finished inner pack (12) from the pocket (61) of the folding turret (60) in conjunction with the folding of the front wall (36) of the inner pack (12), wherein the end corner tabs (55) are folded by folding devices (68) arranged fixed in an ejection station of the folding turret (60) into the respective plane of the lateral wall (50) of the inner pack (12).
