Pack made from board for packaging a number of objects (60) which have at least one cavity (64) in their base area, the pack forming a wrap-around sleeve (20, 30, 40, 50) that surrounds the objects and has locking elements which project into the cavities. The locking element (100) has at least one flap (102) that is die-cut from the base panel (50) of the sleeve and has a central section (112), which is joined to the base panel (50) by a first folding line (104) and is at least approximately the same size as the cavity (64), as well as two side sections (114, 116) which are located on either side of the central section (112), which are joined to the same by two further folding lines (118, 120) that together with the first folding line (104) form an angle of preferably less than 90.degree., and the length (L) of which is greater than the height (M) of the central section, measured at right angles to the folding line (104).
Pack, made from board material, for packaging a number of objects each having a top with a rim and a base and shaped so that when the rims of the tops are in contact the bases of adjacent objects will be separated to leave a cavity between the adjacent objects, said pack comprising a wrap around sleeve including a base panel, said sleeve including a locking element having one flap die cut from said base panel, said flap having a central section connected to said base panel by a first fold line and having a dimension that is at least approximately the width of the cavity and a selected height measured along a line extending perpendicular to said first fold line, said flap further including two side sections disposed on opposite sides of said central section and connected thereto along second and third fold lines, respectively, said second and third fold lines each forming an angle with said first fold line no greater than approximately 90.degree., each said side section having a length which is greater than said selected height of said central section.
