A folded and sealed cigarette coupon is inserted typically between the outermost face of a cigarette packet and its transparent overwrap. The coupon is fashioned from a flat blank divided by crease lines into a set of panels and extended at either end to create a corresponding set of flaps. The panels are quarto folded to form a substantially rectangular main body of the coupon with the flaps combining to form a grippable closure tab along one edge of the body, which can be torn off to open the coupon. The flaps making up the tab are equal in number to the folded panels, so that the thickness of the coupon remains uniform from edge to edge in both length and breadth.

What is claimed is: 1. A folded and sealed coupon insertable in packs containing tobacco products, comprising:a main body having a plurality of panels with each panel superposed on each other panel; the main body having first, second, third and fourth panels separated from each other by a first crease line and a second crease line transverse to the first crease line such that the first and second panels are separated by the first crease line, the third and fourth panels are separated by the first crease line, and the first and second panels are separated from the third and fourth panels by the second crease line;wherein the first panel and the fourth panel are superposed respectively on the second panel and the third panel by a folding along the first crease line such that respective inside faces of the panels are in contact one with another,wherein the first and second panels are superposed on the fourth and third panels by a folding along the second crease line, such that respective faces of the first panel and fourth panel are in contact one with another and the folding along the second crease line closes one edge of the main body;one grippable appendage adjoining one edge of the main body and removable from the main body to open the coupon, the grippable appendage formed from a plurality of flaps extending away from one side of the superposed panels of the main body with each flap superposed on each other flap,wherein a number of flaps making up the grippable appendage is the same as a number of panels making up the main body, the plurality of superposed flaps comprising a first flap and a second flap joined respectively to the first panel and the second panel along a perforation line; a third flap joined to the third panel along a perforation line; a fourth flap; a flap crease line joining the fourth flap to only the third flap, the fourth flap not being directly connected to any of the panels; the first flap being positioned between the second flap and the third flap, and the fourth flap being folded along the flap crease line to extend in a direction back toward the panels to superpose and be sealed to an outside face of the second flap.
