Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarette packaging boxes, specifically relating to a novel soft cigarette box that facilitates the handling of cigarettes. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, small-pack cigarettes are mainly divided into two types: hard packs and soft packs. Among them, soft packs are favored by consumers due to their simple structure and high-end feel. A typical soft pack of cigarettes consists of a box, inner liner paper, seal, outer transparent film, pull tab, and cigarette. The common opening procedure for consumers is: first, tear open the outer transparent film along the pull tab to expose the opening of the soft pack; then, tear the inner liner paper on one side of the box with your fingers to create a cigarette opening, and then take out the cigarette through the opening.
[0003] However, existing soft pack packaging has several shortcomings in the process of opening and taking out cigarettes:
[0004] 1. Difficulty in controlling tearing: If the tearing force is insufficient, the inner lining paper often cannot be torn open in one go, requiring repeated folding and tearing, which is cumbersome. Conversely, if the force is too great, it is easy to cause excessive tearing at the opening end, or even damage to the seal, causing the cigarettes to fall out, and the packaging to lose its sealing and carrying function, seriously affecting portability.
[0005] 2. Inconvenient cigarette retrieval: After the inner lining is torn open, the edge of the opening is often almost level with the height of the box, making it difficult to remove the cigarette with one hand. Consumers often have to tilt the box and repeatedly tap the bottom of the packaging to retrieve the cigarette, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0006] 3. Cannot be resealed: The cigarette opening cannot be resealed after being torn open, causing the cigarettes inside the box to be exposed to the air for a long time, which accelerates moisture loss and aroma evaporation, affecting the smoking quality; in addition, the cigarettes are easy to fall off during carrying, which compromises both safety and aesthetics.
[0007] In existing technologies, such as Chinese patent CN207121071U, a discontinuous tear line is set on the outer transparent film to quickly form one or two cigarette dispensing ports, improving opening efficiency. However, it fails to solve the problems of moisture loss from the dispensing ports and easy spillage during carrying. Chinese patent CN 102673903A adopts an integrated flip-top plastic box design, placing the cigarette dispensing notch at the neck of the box body for easy cigarette dispensing. However, this method is only applicable to flip-top cigarette boxes and is not suitable for large-scale packaging production by cigarette manufacturers. Chinese patent CN220076978U uses an internal support structure to assist in cigarette dispensing and improve the efficiency of taking out and putting out loose cigarettes. However, this solution is only for taking out loose cigarettes and is not suitable for large-scale packaging of standard cigarette boxes.
[0008] In conclusion, existing soft pack cigarette packaging fails to meet the three major requirements of "easy to tear", "easy to take out" and "resealable" in the opening and cigarette taking process.
[0009] To address the above problems, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model aims to provide a novel soft cigarette pack that facilitates cigarette removal. The soft cigarette pack referred to here primarily refers to soft cigarette packaging, but can also be a hardened soft cigarette packaging. This utility model solves the problems of traditional soft cigarette packs, such as incomplete tearing of the inner lining paper, inconvenient cigarette removal, and rapid moisture loss and cigarette falling out during handling due to the inability to reseal. It effectively improves the consumer experience of soft cigarette packs and provides a new approach for optimizing soft cigarette packaging design for cigarette manufacturers.
[0011] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0012] This utility model provides a novel soft cigarette case that facilitates the handling of cigarettes, comprising:
[0013] The soft pack body 1 has an opening 11 at the top. The opening 11 is a three-dimensional notch extending from the top surface to the adjacent side wall. The width of the top opening is 1.1-2 times the diameter of the cigarette, and the depth of the side wall opening is 1 / 4-1 / 3 of the length of the cigarette.
[0014] A reclosable sealing structure 2 covers the opening 11; when closed, the sealing structure 2 covers the opening 11 and extends outwards to form a surrounding adhesive area with a width of 2-10mm.
[0015] The first end of the sealing structure 2 is fixed to the side wall opposite to the side wall where the opening is located on the soft box body 1 through the first adhesive layer 21, and the second end covers the opening 11 and is bonded to the surface of the soft box body 1 through the reusable adhesive area 22, and the adhesive force is less than that of the first adhesive layer 21.
[0016] The sealing structure 2 consists of a flexible base layer and an adhesive layer coated on its lower surface. The flexible base layer is made of materials such as PE film or paper, with a thickness of 0.05-0.2 mm.
[0017] The adhesive layer includes a first adhesive layer 21, a second adhesive layer 221, and a third adhesive area 224, with the adhesive force decreasing sequentially to achieve permanent fixation, reusable bonding, and easy peeling functions, respectively.
[0018] It should be noted that almost all commercially available cigarettes come with a filter tip, so the "top" mentioned in this invention refers to the end of the soft pack body near the cigarette filter tip.
[0019] Preferably, the second end of the sealing structure 2 includes:
[0020] The non-adhesive area 222 is directly opposite the opening 11 area, and no adhesive layer is provided on the lower surface of the non-adhesive area 222;
[0021] The re-adhesive area 22 extends around the non-adhesive area 222 to form a closed annular band, and a second adhesive layer 221 is provided on its lower surface.
[0022] The second adhesive layer 221 contacts the surface of the soft box body 1 and enables repeated opening and closing, and the adhesive force is less than that of the first adhesive layer 21.
[0023] Preferably, the reusable bonding area 22 may also be one side bonded to the first adhesive layer 21, and the remaining side extends around the periphery of the non-bonded area 12 to form a non-closed annular band.
[0024] Preferably, the reusable bonding area 22 of the sealing structure 2 further extends outward to form an opening portion 223;
[0025] The side of the opening part 223 that is used to adhere to the soft box body 1 is entirely configured as a third adhesive layer 224, and the adhesive force of the third adhesive layer 224 is less than the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer 221 of the reusable adhesive area 22.
[0026] Preferably, the free end of the opening part 223 is provided with a protrusion 225 for the user to apply force to peel it off, and the protrusion 225 is not provided with an adhesive layer.
[0027] Preferably, the portion of the opening 11 on the side wall extends downward from the junction of the top surface and the side wall, and its opening width gradually increases downward along the side wall, with a minimum width of 1.1-2 times the diameter of the cigarette and a maximum width of 2-3 times the diameter of the cigarette.
[0028] The portion of the opening 11 on the top surface is a straight, elongated strip opening with a width 1.1-2 times the diameter of the cigarette and a length equal to the width of the soft pack body 1.
[0029] Preferably, the portion of the opening 11 on the side wall is trapezoidal in shape.
[0030] Preferably, the soft box body 1 includes an outer shell 12 and an inner layer structure 13 nested within the outer shell;
[0031] The outer shell is a cabinet structure with an opening at the top, and its side wall has a notch that passes through the opening at the top;
[0032] The inner structure is a sealed cabinet structure with a three-dimensional notch at the top that penetrates the top surface and at least one adjacent sidewall. The shape and position of the through opening of the outer shell correspond to the three-dimensional notch. When the inner structure is fully inserted into the outer shell, the overlapping area of the through opening and the three-dimensional notch forms a cigarette extraction channel. Furthermore, the outer shell 12 and the inner structure 13 nested within it, and the existing equipment can already fully realize the opening of the outer shell and the three-dimensional opening of the inner layer, can be understood in relation to a traditional soft cigarette pack. The inner structure is essentially the aluminum foil layer in existing technology. The nesting gap between the inner structure 13 and the outer shell 12 is 0.1-0.3 mm, secured by the elasticity of the paper material.
[0033] Preferably, the non-adhesive area 222 may be a transparent window, which faces the opening 11 and has an area matching the projected area of the opening 11, for observing the remaining amount of cigarettes in the box. The transparent window is formed by a composite process using a flexible base layer corresponding to the opening 11, using materials such as PET, PVC, and transparent materials with a light transmittance of ≥90%.
[0034] It should be noted that, in order to achieve the corresponding functions of the first adhesive layer 21, the second adhesive layer 221, and the third adhesive layer 224, existing mature technologies can be selected by choosing the type of adhesive, the amount of coating, and the adhesive application process. The adhesive force of the first adhesive layer 21 is controlled to be ≥2.0 N / cm, used to permanently fix the first end of the sealing structure 2 to the side wall of the soft box body 1; the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer 221 is controlled to be 0.5-1.5 N / cm, its adhesive force is less than that of the first adhesive layer, so that the second end of the sealing structure 2 can be repeatedly opened and closed and is sealed and moisture-proof; the adhesive force of the third adhesive layer 224 is controlled to be ≤0.3 N / cm, ensuring that the user can easily apply force to peel off the opening part, while avoiding accidental delamination. The adhesive force is tested according to GB / T 2792 standard.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0036] 1. The three-dimensional notch design of this utility model, combined with the low adhesion and easy peeling characteristics of the third adhesive layer, allows users to accurately open the seal with only slight force, without repeated folding and tearing, and also avoids packaging damage caused by excessive tearing.
[0037] 2. The sampling channel formed by the opening of this utility model is directly aligned with the cigarette. When taking out the cigarette, the user can pull it out directly with one hand without tilting or patting the packaging, which greatly simplifies the cigarette taking process and prevents the risk of tobacco falling off due to the traditional method of patting the packaging. In addition, by controlling the width of the opening at the edge of the notch, the cigarette can slide out in an orderly manner and prevent it from falling off during carrying or movement, thus balancing the need for easy handling and stability.
[0038] 3. The second bonding area of this utility model uses a reusable adhesive, which can easily close the opening after each cigarette is taken out, effectively isolating the air, slowing down the loss of moisture and aroma of the cigarette, maintaining the purity of the aroma, and preventing it from scattering.
[0039] 4. The top noodle-shaped opening and the side trapezoidal opening of this utility model are designed in a coordinated manner, which can guide the cigarette longitudinally and utilize the funnel effect of the side trapezoid to form a sliding channel that gradually expands from top to bottom, so that the user can accurately position and smoothly pull it out with one hand; the sealing structure completely covers the opening when closed, which not only ensures the sealing and moisture protection of the packaging, but also minimizes the area of the long groove on the top surface, thereby maintaining the overall compressive strength of the soft box.
[0040] 5. The sealing structure of this utility model consists of a flexible base layer and multiple adhesive layers. The technology is mature and easily compatible with existing soft-pack assembly lines, requiring no additional complex machinery and ensuring good production cost control. As an optimal solution, the sealing structure can directly replace the traditional seal, seamlessly adhering to the existing seal application path without requiring modifications to production equipment or processes. This achieves an upgrade to "easy-tear, easy-to-remove, and resealable" functions, while maintaining an appearance identical to traditional seals, preserving the overall aesthetics of the box and the integrity of the brand logo.

[0049] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications or improvements made based on the teachings of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Where specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they shall be performed in accordance with the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the field or in accordance with the product manual.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a novel soft cigarette case that facilitates cigarette handling, comprising: a soft case body 1, the top of which is provided with an opening 11, the opening 11 being a three-dimensional notch extending from the top surface to the adjacent side wall; the width of the top surface opening is 1.1-2 times the diameter of the cigarette, and the depth of the side wall opening is 1 / 4-1 / 3 of the length of the cigarette.
[0052] A reclosable sealing structure 2 covers the opening 11; when closed, the sealing structure 2 covers the opening 11 and extends outwards to form a surrounding adhesive area with a width of 2-10mm.
[0053] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the first end of the sealing structure 2 is fixed to the side wall opposite to the opening side wall of the flexible box body 1 by the first adhesive layer 21, and the second end covers the opening 11 and is bonded to the surface of the flexible box body 1 through the reusable adhesive area 22, with a bonding force less than that of the first adhesive layer 21. The strong adhesion between the first adhesive layer 21 and the flexible box body 1 ensures that the sealing structure 2 is not easy to fall off.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the top opening width of the opening 11 is twice the diameter of the cigarette, and the side wall opening depth is one-quarter of the length of the cigarette.
[0055] The sealing structure 2 consists of a flexible base layer and an adhesive layer coated on its lower surface. The flexible base layer is made of materials such as PE film or paper, with a thickness of 0.05-0.2mm. The first end of the sealing structure 2 is preferably 10mm wide for fixed connection, and the second end of the sealing structure 2 preferably extends 3mm from the edge of the opening to surround the adhesive area.
[0056] The adhesive layer includes a first adhesive layer 21, a second adhesive layer 221, and a third adhesive area 224, with the adhesive force decreasing sequentially to achieve permanent fixation, reusable bonding, and easy peeling functions, respectively.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the second end of the sealing structure 2 includes:
[0058] The non-adhesive area 222 is directly opposite the opening 11 area, and no adhesive layer is provided on the lower surface of the non-adhesive area 222;
[0059] The re-adhesive area 22 extends around the non-adhesive area 222 to form a closed annular band, and a second adhesive layer 221 is provided on its lower surface.
[0060] The second adhesive layer 221 contacts the surface of the soft box body 1 and enables repeated opening and closing, and the adhesive force is less than that of the first adhesive layer 21.
[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the reusable bonding area 22 can also be one side bonded to the first adhesive layer 21, with the remaining side extending around the periphery of the non-bonded area 12 to form a non-closed annular band. The remaining side extends around the left, right, and lower sides of the non-bonded area 222 at the position indicated in the figure to form a non-closed annular band.
[0062] The re-adhesive area 22 of the sealing structure 2 also extends outward to form an opening part 223;
[0063] The side of the opening part 223 that is used to adhere to the soft box body 1 is entirely configured as a third adhesive layer 224, and the adhesive force of the third adhesive layer 224 is less than the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer 221 of the reusable adhesive area 22.
[0064] The free end of the opening part 223 is provided with a protrusion 225 for the user to apply force to peel it off, and the protrusion 225 is not provided with an adhesive layer.
[0065] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the portion of the opening 11 on the side wall extends downwards from the junction of the top surface and the side wall, and its opening width gradually increases downwards along the side wall. Its minimum width is 1.1-2 times the cigarette diameter, and its maximum width is 2-3 times the cigarette diameter. The portion of the opening 11 on the top surface is a straight, strip-shaped opening, with a width 1.1-2 times the cigarette diameter and a length equal to the width of the soft pack body 1. The top strip-shaped opening and the side trapezoidal opening are designed in tandem, guiding the cigarette longitudinally and utilizing the funnel effect of the side trapezoid to form a sliding channel that gradually expands from top to bottom, allowing the user to accurately position and smoothly extract the cigarette with one hand. The sealing structure completely covers the opening when closed, ensuring the packaging is sealed and moisture-proof while minimizing the area of the long groove on the top surface, thus maintaining the overall compressive strength of the soft pack.
[0066] As a preferred embodiment, the portion of the opening 11 on the top surface is a strip-shaped opening with a width twice the diameter of the cigarette and a length equal to the width of the soft pack body 1; the portion of the opening 11 on the side wall is a trapezoidal structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with the upper base being twice the diameter of the cigarette and the lower base being three times the diameter of the cigarette.
[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the soft box body 1 includes an outer shell 12 and an inner layer structure 13 nested within the outer shell;
[0068] The outer shell is a cabinet structure with an opening at the top, and its side wall has a notch that passes through the opening at the top;
[0069] The inner structure is a sealed cabinet structure with a three-dimensional notch at the top that penetrates the top surface and an adjacent side wall. The shape and position of the through opening of the outer shell correspond to the three-dimensional notch. When the inner structure is fully inserted into the outer shell, the overlapping area of the through opening and the three-dimensional notch forms a cigarette extraction channel. Furthermore, the outer shell 12 and the inner structure 13 nested within it, and the existing equipment can already fully realize the connection between the opening of the outer shell and the three-dimensional opening of the inner layer, can be understood in relation to a traditional soft cigarette pack. The inner structure is essentially the aluminum foil layer in existing technology.
[0070] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing structure 2, the outer shell 12, and the inner layer structure 13 are configured as follows: the overall height of the inner layer structure 13 is 0.5-2mm higher than that of the outer shell 12, so that the top edge of the inner layer is in full contact with the adhesive surface of the sealing structure 2, thus avoiding sealing failure due to the height difference between the inner and outer layers.
[0071] The sealing structure is fixed and extended by bonding. The first end of the sealing structure 2 is fixed to the side wall of the outer shell 12 opposite to the side wall where the opening is located by the first adhesive layer 21.
[0072] The second end of the sealing structure 2 covers the overlapping area of the opening 11 and the inner three-dimensional notch;
[0073] The extension portion located on the top surface of the soft box body 1 is bonded to the top surface of the inner layer structure 13 through the second adhesive layer 221; the extension portion located on the side wall is bonded to the side wall of the outer shell 12 through the third adhesive area 224.
[0074] The non-adhesive area 222 may optionally be a transparent window, which faces the opening 11 and whose area matches the projected area of the opening 11, for observing the remaining amount of cigarettes in the box. The transparent window is formed by a composite process using a flexible base layer corresponding to the opening 11, using a PET material with a light transmittance ≥90%.
[0075] The process of using the soft box in this embodiment is as follows:
[0076] 1. Pinch the protrusion 225 of the opening part of the sealing structure and pull it upward. The third adhesive area 224 will detach first due to low adhesive force.
[0077] 2. Continue to lift the sealing structure, and the second adhesive layer 221 is gradually peeled off from the edge of the annular strip to expose the opening 11.
[0078] 3. With one hand, slide the cigarette upwards through the funnel-shaped channel of the trapezoidal opening on the side wall. The cigarette will then be removed through the noodle-shaped opening on the top. When only a few cigarettes remain, simply tilt the cigarette box towards opening 11 and then tilt it again in the opposite direction to create a slope. The cigarette will slide to the opening, where it can then be manually removed. The remaining amount can be judged through the transparent window to avoid moisture loss or dampness caused by frequent opening of the box.
[0079] 4. After the cigarette is removed, cover the opening with the second end of the sealing structure, press the re-adhesive area 22, and use the adhesiveness of the second adhesive layer 221 to achieve re-sealing.
[0080] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this application; the dimensions described in the drawings and embodiments are not related to the specific physical object and are not used to limit the protection scope of this application. The physical dimensions can be selected and changed according to actual needs.
