(57) 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).
