Abstract (en)

The invention is concerned with containers of the kind intended to contain and protect paper or sheet material in a wallet or folder. The container (2) includes a front cover panel (4), a rear cover panel (6) and a spine panel (8) for the folder and includes side panels (12,14,16) which are hingeably attached to edge portions of the cover panels (4,6) so as to be capable of being folded to form the container. Box corners are formed between adjacent ends of side panels (12,14;14,16) by interlocking strip fastener means (18,20) moulded from plastics material. In one example mentioned, the fastener means (18,20) are moulded integrally with a side panel (12), which is then hingeably connected to a cover panel (4). In a further example, an outer cover panel (44) is provided, the arrangement being such that the panels of the container may be alternatively arranged to provide an easel-like support.
