When two or more similar such boxes are stacked one upon the other in aligned relation, at least part of the bottom wall portions (11) of the pockets of the upper box rest on the corner (76) formed between the top portion (13) and the side and end walls (14,15) of the lid of the lower box. Lugs (17) on the lid of the lower box engage peripheral walls of the base part of the upper box to locate the boxes in alignment.
