The lid (40) is swiveable about a axis of rotation (H1 ) that projects substantially perpendicular to the top wall (31 ) and is configured to close at least one additional compartment (32) that is arranged in the top wall (31 ) of the cap (30). Thus, the container (100) according to the present invention provides a storage compartment (1 1 ) for unused product and an additional compartment (32) for used product, wherein an erroneous access of the storage compartment (1 1 ) or the additional compartment (32), particularly a disposal of used product within the unused product, can be avoided.

A method for producing a laminar blank (100) having a microsuction element, the method comprising: conveying a laminar blank along a first path, the laminar blank having an inner surface and an outer surface; conveying a microsuction tape (1020) along a second path, which is different to the first path; contacting a first portion of the microsuction tape with the outer surface of a first portion of the laminar blank, to secure the first portion of the microsuction tape to the first portion of the laminar blank; and cutting the microsuction tape to separate the first portion of the microsuction tape from the remainder of the microsuction tape; the laminar blank being configured to be folded to form at least a portion of a container comprising a housing having an opening and a lid connected to the housing and movable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position.

A snuff container (101), comprising a base part (102) and a closure part (103) and being provided with a locking arrangement (120) for locking the closure part on the base part (102). The base part (102) comprises a bottom wall (105), a base side wall (107) and a compartment wall (117) arranged inward of the base side wall (107) with a space (114) between the base side wall (107) and the compartment wall (117). A portion of the base side wall (107) is formed by a resiliently flexible tongue (133), with an upper part of the tongue (133) being inwardly deflectable in a direction towards the compartment wall (117). The locking arrangement (120) comprising a first locking member (122) is arranged on an upper part (135) of the resiliently flexible tongue (133) and a second locking member (123) is arranged on the closure part (103) at a closure side wall end edge (113). The locking arrangement (120) is arranged to assume a locked configuration and a release configuration in which the upper part (135) of the resiliently flexible tongue (133) is in an inwardly deflected position.

A package (800) that may be employed to store a tobacco-containing material (824) is provided. The package may include a container (801) including a body portion (802) and a cover (804) configured to engage the body portion. The body portion may define an internal space (812) therein configured to receive a product. An internal surface (882A,882B) of one or both of the body portion and the cover may include a wood liner (886A,886B). The wood liner may be a wood veneer.

A container that may be employed to store a tobacco-containing material (41) is provided. The container includes a lower body portion (20) and an upper lid (21). The lower body portion includes an intermediate bottom wall (28) that separates the lower body portion into upper and lower internal storage compartments (29, 26). An environment modification material (25) is received in the lower internal storage compartment. The tobacco-containing material may be received in the upper internal storage compartment. The environment modification material may control humidity in the container to preserve the freshness of the tobacco-containing material. Vent channels (64) cooperatively formed by the lower body portion and the upper cover may further contribute to humidity control.

A container for a consumable recipient product. The container also contains a non- consumable donor product carrier which contains a donor product which emits a substance to impart a characteristic to the recipient product in the container.
