A rigid package of tobacco articles (3), having a container (2) which houses the tobacco articles (3) and comprises an open top end (5), a lid (6) hinged to the container (2) along a hinge (7) to rotate, with respect to the container (2), between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing the open top end (5), and a collar (16) fixed to the inside of the container (2) to project partly outwards of the open top end (5) and engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid (6) when the lid (6) is in the closed position;
- the container (2) being substantially parallelepiped-shaped, and having two, respectively top and bottom, end walls (8, 9), and a lateral surface which is bounded by the end walls (8, 9) and comprises two, respectively front and rear, minor lateral walls (10, 11), and two major lateral walls (12);
- the hinge (7) being located on the front minor lateral wall (10), and being parallel to minor transverse edges (14) defined between the end walls (8, 9) and the minor lateral walls (10, 11);
- and the container (2) being formed by folding a flat blank (25) in the form of substantially an elongated rectangle;
- the package (1) being characterized in that the collar (16) is formed by joining two separate portions (21, 22), at least one of which is joined to the blank (25) along a respective preformed fold line (28).
A rigid package of tobacco articles (3), having a container (2) which houses the tobacco articles (3) and comprises an open top end (5), a lid (6) hinged to the container (2) along a hinge (7) to rotate, with respect to the container (2), between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing the open top end (5), and a collar (16) fixed to the inside of the container (2) to project partly outwards of the open top end (5) and engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid (6) when the lid (6) is in the closed position;
- the container (2) being substantially parallelepiped-shaped, and having two, respectively top and bottom, end walls (8, 9), and a lateral surface which is bounded by the end walls (8, 9) and comprises two, respectively front and rear, minor lateral walls (10, 11), and two major lateral walls (12);
- the hinge (7) being located on the front minor lateral wall (10), and being parallel to minor transverse edges (14) defined between the end walls (8, 9) and the minor lateral walls (10, 11);
- and the container (2) being formed by folding a flat blank (25) in the form of substantially an elongated rectangle;
- the package (1) being characterized in that the collar (16) comprises a top wall (17) which contacts the top wall (8) of the container (2), and which comprises, on a portion projecting outwards of the open top end (5), a retaining tab (23) which engages an inner surface of the top wall (8) of the lid (6) when the lid (6) is in said closed position, so as to keep the lid (6) in the closed position with a given closing force.
