Abstract
A package and a process for making the same is disclosed. The package is especially useful for cigarettes and is of the hard cup type being made with a packing body of cardboard, pasteboard or similar material. The body of the package is provided on the outside with a moisture and odor (aroma) tight coating and, at least at the upper edge, a strip of inside tin foil wrapping is attached for the formation of a front fold. The arrangement simplifies the package blank and results in a finished package having an over-all metal coating.
