In order to reduce the material and production costs, a hinge-lid box comprising a single all-in-one blank is desirable. In the case of a blank designed, in particular, in accordance with the transverse folding principle, the collar (12) is connected to a main blank (27) for the hinge-lid box, in the region of the folding tabs of the lid (11), via approximately triangular folding gussets (46, 47). The folding gussets (46, 47) are positioned such that, by folding the collar (46, 47) over against the inner side of the main blank, the collar automatically passes into the position which is appropriate for the pack. The folding gussets (46, 47) are connected to the collar (12) by material remnants (52, 53). When the lid (11) is opened for the first time, the material remnants (52, 53) are severed.
A hinge-lid box made of a material, and comprising a box part (10), a lid (11) connected pivotably thereto, and a collar (12) which is anchored in the box part (10) and has a sub-region that projects out of the box part, the collar (12) being connected to the lid by severable remnants (52, 53) of the material which are severed when the lid (11) is opened for the first time,
A box blank, made of a material, for hinge-lid boxes, comprising a main blank (27) having regions, which are delimited by folding lines, for forming a box part (10) and a lid (11) connected thereto, and further comprising a collar (12) which is connected to the main blank (27) via remnants (52, 53) of the material such that, when the lid (11) of a hinge-lid box formed from said box blank is opened for the first time, the material remnants (52, 53) are severed,
