The patent US11993429B2 describes a novel packaging system designed for the storage of rod-shaped goods. The packaging consists of an internal box that features a designated receiving area for the rod-shaped items, and an envelope that encases this internal box. Notably, the envelope includes a second receiving area, which is separated from the first by a bottom wall of the internal box. This design incorporates locking mechanisms, such as lugs or tabs, on both the internal box and the envelope, allowing for secure engagement between the two components. The envelope can be constructed as a single piece or multiple pieces and may include features such as waterproof or incombustible coatings to enhance durability.

Further claims detail the functionality of the packaging, including the ability of the internal box to be displaceable within the envelope, which allows for the opening to be either closable or remain open. The design also accommodates flaps that can be moved to facilitate access to the contents. The envelope is structured with multiple walls, including a bottom wall, front wall, rear wall, and sidewalls, which collectively form the second receiving area. Additionally, the patent outlines the construction of a blank for producing the envelope, emphasizing the integration of wall elements and openings that align with the locking features of the internal box. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive solution for the effective storage and protection of rod-shaped goods through innovative packaging design.
