Abstract
A package of tobacco articles, having a container; a group of tobacco articles housed inside the container; and a marker, which is housed inside the container, has a resonating body resonating at a given resonance frequency, and is remotely detectable by a shoplifting detector device by means of an electromagnetic field having a frequency substantially equal to the resonance frequency.

A package of tobacco articles, comprising:
- a container (2) having an open top end (6);
- a lid (7) hinged to the container (2) along a hinge (8) to rotate, with respect to the container (2), between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing the open top end (6);
- a collar (15), which is folded into a U, is connected inside the container (2), and projects partly outwards of the open top end (6) to engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid (7) when the lid is in the closed position;
- a group (3) of tobacco articles (4) housed inside the container (2);
- at least one marker (24), which is housed inside the container (2), comprises magnetic resonating means resonating acoustically at a given resonance frequency, and is remotely detectable by a shoplifting detector device by means of a magnetic field having a frequency substantially equal to the resonance frequency;
- and
- a label (25) supporting the marker (24) and interposed between a wall of the collar (15) and a wall of the container (2).
