Abstract
Disclosed is a pack for cigarettes or the like. The best known pack types for cigarettes, in particular hinge lid pack and soft cup, both have their advantages and disadvantages. The upper portion (top part 15) of the present pack is in the form of a hinge lid pack and the lower portion (bottom part 16) is in the form of a soft cup pack. As a result, the pack can be handled like a hinge lid pack but requires a smaller expenditure of material. This pack type can also be equipped with a collar which is integrally connected to a blank for the top part (15) which is in the form of a hinge lid pack. The bottom part (16) may also form part of an overall outer wrapper (outer wrapping).
