Hinge-lid box for cigarettes or other articles, made up of a blank for forming a box part and a lid, which is connected to said box part such that it can be pivoted in the region of a box rear wall by means of a transversely directed linear articulation and has a lid front wall which, in a closed position of the lid, covers over preferably an upper region of a box front wall of the box part in the manner of a slip lid, wherein the box front wall, in the upper region, has a foldable retaining flap in the form of a click-action flap, which is directed downwards when the lid is closed and engages with a mating device within the lid, in particular with a mating edge on the inner side of the lid front wall, at least when the lid is being opened, wherein, furthermore, the blank is designed by the longitudinal-folding principle with successive regions for the box front wall, base wall, box rear wall, lid rear wall, end wall and lid front wall, and wherein the box front wall has outer side flaps, the box rear wall has inner side flaps, the lid rear wall has inner lid side flaps and the lid front wall has outer lid side flaps, in each case for forming double-layered box side walls and lid side walls, and wherein the inner side of the lid front wall has fitted on it a mating flap, which has at least one hooking device for the click-action flap, to be precise in the form of a transversely directed supporting edge which, with the mating flap folded on the inner side of the lid front wall, is located opposite the click-action flap, in particular in the region of a mating edge of the click-action flap, said mating edge being directed parallel to the supporting edge, and the supporting edge interacts with the correspondingly directed mating edge of the click-action flap when the lid is being opened, wherein, furthermore, the mating flap is connected to a folding flap of the lid and can be folded relative to the lid front wall, along at least one flap-folding line, such that the mating flap butts against the inner side of the lid front wall, at least in part in a region opposite the click-action flap, characterized by the following features: a) the lid front wall, of single-layer design, has a front-side lid edge, which is of arcuate or polygonal design at least in one subregion, wherein at least one portion of the lid edge is of rectilinear design, b) the mating flap, in the region of the at least one rectilinear region (41, 50) of the lid edge, is connected to the latter to form a rectilinear flap-folding edge, c) the flap-folding line, in a manner corresponding to the contour or shape of the lid edge, is arranged at an acute angle to the transversely directed mating edge of the click-action flap, wherein, on account of corresponding angling of the supporting edge, the latter, when the mating flap is folded, is positioned in relation to the mating edge such that, in the closed position or during the opening and closing movement of the lid, it interacts with the click-action flap. a) the lid front wall, of single-layer design, has a front-side lid edge, which is of arcuate or polygonal design at least in one subregion, wherein at least one portion of the lid edge is of rectilinear design, b) the mating flap, in the region of the at least one rectilinear region (41, 50) of the lid edge, is connected to the latter to form a rectilinear flap-folding edge, c) the flap-folding line, in a manner corresponding to the contour or shape of the lid edge, is arranged at an acute angle to the transversely directed mating edge of the click-action flap, wherein, on account of corresponding angling of the supporting edge, the latter, when the mating flap is folded, is positioned in relation to the mating edge such that, in the closed position or during the opening and closing movement of the lid, it interacts with the click-action flap.
