Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette box technology, specifically relating to a double-layer cigarette packaging carton. Background Technology

[0002] Current cigarette boxes typically utilize a carton-like packaging structure to hold multiple cigarette packs. These boxes generally consist of individual packs of cigarettes and a single carton containing only one type and flavor of cigarettes. The individual packs are tightly packed within the carton, with very little space between them. To retrieve the cigarettes, one often needs to tear open the carton, resulting in a damaged appearance and negatively impacting the consumer's overall impression. With rapid economic development and changing consumer attitudes, this method of tearing open the carton has become extremely incongruous in special settings such as formal hospitality and gift-giving.

[0003] Secondly, the packaging boxes currently sold on the market are monotonous in style and simple in structure, lacking fun and intelligence. The brand information of tobacco products is generally directly printed on the packaging boxes, but the traceability process of tobacco products cannot be known. Furthermore, the information printed on the packaging surface is easily worn away and lost during circulation, and the authenticity of more expensive tobacco products cannot be determined. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a double-layer cigarette packaging carton that combines a novel double-layered, foldable opening design, cleverly creating a superior multi-layered display effect for both the packaging and the product.

[0005] A double-layer cigarette packaging carton includes an outer shell 5 and an inner box;

[0006] The outer shell 5 includes a front baffle 5.1, an upper baffle 5.2, a rear baffle 5.3, and a lower baffle 5.4 connected in sequence. Adjacent baffles are connected by crease lines and folded along the crease lines. The front baffle 5.1, the upper baffle 5.2, the rear baffle 5.3, and the lower baffle 5.4 form a hollow cuboid.

[0007] The inner box has two layers, with a first box 1 in the lower layer and a second box 2, a fourth box 4 and a third box 3 arranged sequentially in the upper layer.

[0008] The first box body 1 is disposed on the lower baffle 5.4, and the outer shell 5 surrounds the outer side of the inner box to form the four sides of the cigarette packaging carton;

[0009] When the cigarette packaging carton is opened, the first box body 1 is connected to the second box body 2 on the left and the third box body 3 on the right. One end of the fourth box body 4 is connected to the upper baffle 5.2, and the other end is connected to the first box body 1. When the cigarette packaging carton is closed, the second box body 2 and the third box body 3 are flipped and fastened to the upper part of the opening of the first box body 1. The upper baffle 5.2 covers the second box body 2, the fourth box body 4, and the third box body 3.

[0010] Preferably, the upper layer of the inner box has the same length, width, and height as the lower layer.

[0011] Preferably, the second box 2 and the third box 3 are the same size and shape.

[0012] Preferably, when the cigarette packaging carton is closed, the front baffle 5.1 and the front side panel of the first box body 1 are magnetically attracted together.

[0013] Preferably, the first box 1, the second box 2, the fourth box 4, and the third box 3 all have top openings.

[0014] Preferably, the left side plate edge of the first box body 1 is connected to the right side plate edge of the second box body 2 by a first crease line 1.1, and the right side plate edge of the first box body 1 is connected to the left side plate edge of the third box body 3 by a second crease line 1.2.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom plate of the fourth box 4 is attached to the upper baffle 5.2 on the side near the front baffle 5.1 via a connector 4.1, and the opening of the fourth box 4 is connected to the first box 1 on the side near the rear baffle 5.3.

[0016] Preferably, an NFC tag 6 is provided at the bottom of the fourth box 4. The NFC tag 6 has a size of 30mm×30mm and a thickness of 0.2mm to 0.85mm.

[0017] Preferably, the NFC tag 6 includes an NFC chip and an antenna, the NFC chip and the antenna being electrically connected, and the NFC chip being used to store tobacco product information.

[0018] Preferably, when the double-layer cigarette packaging box is opened, the fourth box 4 is used to support the smart terminal, and the data and information in the NFC chip are read and viewed through the smart terminal.

[0019] Preferably, the NFC tag (6) has a communication range of up to 10cm. Data and information reading is usually done using a mobile phone with NFC functionality as a smart terminal. When the cigarette pack is opened, the fourth box 4 can be used as a support, and the mobile phone can be placed on the pack as a display screen for viewing and interaction. The NFC tag stores a wealth of information and can be encrypted, making it difficult to counterfeit. It is a very rigorous anti-counterfeiting technology.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The cigarette carton of the present invention can be flipped open without tearing the outer packaging. The second box 2, the fourth box 4, and the third box 3, which are stacked on the first box, can be unfolded by flipping, making it easy to take out any cigarette from any box. After taking out the cigarette, the cigarette carton can be closed again by flipping, restoring the packaging carton. The packaging carton structure is not damaged, ensuring the integrity of the repackaging of the carton. The double-layer structure changes the shape of the traditional packaging box, making it more convenient to carry and take out cigarettes.

[0022] 2. The cigarette packaging carton of the present invention has a fourth box body on the upper baffle. When the upper baffle is flipped open, the upper baffle pulls the fourth box body off the first box body. By flipping, the second box body 2 and the third box body 3 superimposed on the first box body are unfolded, which can better display the inside of the cigarette packaging carton. The structure is novel and easy to operate, which increases the novelty of the packaging form of the cigarette packaging carton and attracts consumers' attention.

[0023] 3. This cigarette carton incorporates NFC tags, or Near Field Communication technology, into the cigarette packaging, creating a brand-new consumer experience. The NFC tag is embedded in the box and can display text, images, or videos related to product introductions, brand culture, anti-counterfeiting verification, and product traceability. Once opened, information and data can be read by touching the NFC tag with a mobile phone. The unique identification code of the NFC electronic tag within the smart packaging enables intelligent, digital, and refined management of the product, serving as an electronic ID for each item. It offers a visual and engaging interactive experience, superior anti-counterfeiting performance, and a enhanced consumer experience. Using a mobile phone as the interactive interface, combined with a novel double-fold opening mechanism, it cleverly creates a multi-layered display effect for both the packaging and the product.
