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).

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 26, 1992 and granted January 26, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 26, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 26, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
