<p>A packet (1) designed to contain a group (2) of cigarettes (3) appears substantially parallelepiped in shape with a predominating longitudinal axis (5) disposed parallel to the longitudinal axes (6) of the cigarettes (3), and comprises a front (7), a back (8) and two flanks (9), also a bottom (10), and a top (11) that can be opened at least in part to provide an area (20) affording access to the inside of the packet (1). The cigarettes (3) are packaged together with a pressure element (31) of stiff fan-folded paper placed between the group (2) and one flank (9), which is rendered flexible along at least one predetermined line or portion (29) of elastic deformation and able to compress and expand elastically along an axis (30) of compression and expansion normal to the axis (5) of the packet (1); as a result of the tension stored in the pressure element (31), the group (2) of cigarettes (3) is invested with a uniformly applied pushing force and biased toward the access area (20), whilst a similarly uniform reaction force is directed against the inside face of the flank (9). <IMAGE></p> |
