Abstract (en)

A packaging box for eggs, fruit or other articles is of rectangular shape in plan and comprises a hollow base part (1), optionally moulded with article receiving pockets (4), and a hollow lid (2). The base part and lid are a one-piece moulding of transparent sheet plastics material. Their rims (12,16) are joined together along the rear side of the box by a web hinge so that the lid (2) may be opened and closed relatively to the base part (1). The lid is fastened in its closed position by fastening devices (20) disposed on the rims (12,16) opposite the hinge. The lid (2) comprises a generally flat top (13) and flat peripheral walls (14,15) and is supported and reinforced by a cardboard insert (25) having a top and depending flaps (27,28) juxtaposed the lid top and walls (13,14,15). The bottom edge of the rear insert flap (27) rests on the rim (12) of the base part and the bottom edge 32 of the front flap (27) rests on tabs (33) moulded in the front wall (14) of the lid in order to provide the support for the lid and hold the insert in position. The insert (25) may be printed with advertising matter or other information which can be viewed through the transparent lid (2).
