Claim:
A cuboidal pack having an outer wrapper made of film or other tearable packaging material, and having a continuous tear-open thread ( 24 ) or a continuous weakened line ( 89 , 90 , 91 ) fitted on the outer wrapping for severing the latter when opened for the first time, characterized by the following features: a) each of two thread sections ( 26 , 27 ) of the continuous tear-open thread ( 24 ), or each of two line sections of the continuous weakend line in a region of a pack front wall ( 14 ) and a pack rear wall ( 15 ), is directed approximately diagonally from a bottom pack corner ( 28 ) to a diagonally opposite top pack corner ( 29 ); b) the thread sections ( 26 , 27 ) or line sections running in the regions of the front wall ( 14 ) and the rear wall ( 15 ) are joined in a region of narrow pack side walls ( 16 , 17 ) by transversely directed, rectilinear thread sections ( 31 , 32 ) or transversely directed rectilinear line sections comprising a thread section ( 31 ) or line section immediately adjacent to a pack base wall ( 19 ), and a thread section ( 32 ) or line section immediately adjacent to a pack end wall ( 18 ); and c) in a region, of the front wall ( 14 ) and the rear wall ( 15 ), adjacent to pack corners ( 39 ), the thread sections ( 26 , 27 ) or line sections each form a rounded portion ( 30 ) as a transition from the approximately diagonally directed thread sections ( 26 , 27 ) or line sections to the transversely directed, rectilinear thread sections ( 31 , 32 ) or line sections of the side walls ( 16 , 17 ).
