SUBSTANCE: rigid package has hinged lid with upper end surface and base with lower end surface. The lid is pivotally connected with the base and may be rotated between the first position to open access to the base and the second position, in which the lid cooperates with frame partly installed in the base to close the package. The package has at least two main face surfaces. The first face surface is flat. The second face surface comprises central flat part and two curved parts. The curved parts connect flat part with longitudinal ends of the first face surface.
