the inner front part comprises a flap extending downwardly from an upper margin of the inner front part and abutting an inner surface of the section of the front panel above the division line when the lid is in the position where the lid closes the container;

the tear-off flap is connected with the flap along a scoring line and glued or welded to an inside of the part of the lid provided by the section above the division line of the front panel.

2. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the inner front part is provided by a panel provided on an inside of the front panel below the division line in the front panel, and the inner side parts are provided by panels provided on an inside of the side panels below the division line.

3. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the lid comprises a ledge provided on an inner surface of the section of the front panel above the division line in a position where a lower margin of the downwardly extending flap engages with an upper edge of the ledge, when the lid is in the position where the lid closes the container.

4. The container according to claim 1 , wherein a distance is provided between an upper margin of the inner front part and an inner surface of the lid, when the lid is in the position where the lid closes the container.

5. The container according to claim 1 , wherein corners of the flap and/or corners of the inner front part are rounded and/or truncated.

6. The container according to claim 1 , wherein a vertical distance is provided between an upper most part of the inner side parts and the upper margin of the inner front part from which the flap extends downwardly, so that the upper margin of the inner front part is provided at a higher position than the upper most part of the inner side parts.

7. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the division line is a scoring line comprising a plurality of piercings in the side panels and the front panel.

8. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the division line in the front panel curves downwardly between two substantially straight parts, and a section of the front panel above the division line comprises a downwardly protruding tongue resembling the curvature of the division line.

9. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the folding line in the rear panel along which the lid is rotated is pre-provided.

10. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container has horizontal and vertical rectangular cross sections.

11. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container stores one or more pouches inside the container.

12. The container according to claim 11 , wherein the one or more pouches has a vertical extension being smaller than a distance from the bottom panel of the container to the lower most position of the upper margin of each of the inner side parts.

13. A method of producing a container comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, two side panels, a rear panel and a top panel, wherein:

a lid is defined by the front panel and the two side panels, the two side panels having a division line extending downwardly sloping from the rear panel in the side panels and horizontally in at least a part of the front panel, the lid comprising the top panel and the sections of the front panel and side panels above the division line, the lid being moveable by rotation along a folding line in the rear panel between a closing position, where the lid closes the container, and a position where an open end of the container is not covered by the lid;

the front panel further comprises an inner front part extending above the division line in the front panel without being attached to the front panel above the division line;

each side panel further comprises an inner side part extending above the division line in the side panel without being attached to the side panel above the division line, and an upper margin of each of the inner side parts extending downwardly sloping towards the rear panel; and

the inner front part comprises a flap extending downwardly from an upper margin of the inner front part and abutting an inner surface of the section of the front panel above the division line when the lid is in the position where the lid closes the container, the method comprising folding the panels from one piece of material or joining separate sheets of material,

the container further comprises a tear-off flap connected with the flap along a scoring line, and

the method further comprises gluing or welding the tear off flap to an inside of the part of the lid provided by the section of the front panel above the division line.

14. A method for storing of a food product, the method comprising storing food in a container comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, two side panels, a rear panel and a top panel, wherein:

a lid is defined by the front panel and the two side panels, the two side panels having a division line extending downwardly sloping from the rear panel in the side panels and horizontally in at least a part of the front panel, the lid comprising the top panel and the sections of the front panel and side panels above the division line, the lid being moveable by rotation along a folding line in the rear panel between a closing position, where the lid closes the container, and a position where an open end of the container is not covered by the lid;

the front panel further comprises an inner front part extending above the division line in the front panel without being attached to the front panel above the division line; each side panel further comprises an inner side part extending above the division line in the side panel without being attached to the side panel above the division line, and an upper margin of each of the inner side parts extending downwardly sloping towards the rear panel; and

the inner front part comprises a flap extending downwardly from an upper margin of the inner front part and abutting an inner surface of the section of the front panel above the division line when the lid is in the position where the lid closes the container,

the container further comprises a tear-off flap connected with the flap along a scoring line and glued or welded to an inside of the part of the lid provided by the section of the front panel above the division line.

15. The container according to claim 6 , wherein the vertical distance is such that when the lid is moved to the closing position, the lid is initially guided by the flap to deflect the sections of the front panel above the division line outwardly and/or the inner front part inwardly, and

the upper margins of the inner side parts further guide the sections of the front panel above the division outwardly and/or the inner side parts inwardly.
