Abstract: A storage container or the like including a drawer-like receptacle and a pair of opposed, separable shell-like cover members for releasably supporting the drawer-like receptacle therewithin, each shell-like cover member presenting a mating edge formation to the other shell-like cover member with the mating edge formations including a recessed portion therein of a configuration and perimetral extent to define an access opening therebetween for passing the drawer-like receptacle therethrough, the shell-like cover members presenting means extending inwardly of the access opening for guiding the receptacle under displacement through the access opening and into substantially full registration within the opposed pair of shell-like cover members, and means for releasably securing the shell-like cover members together including a hinge and releasable clasp so arranged such that the shell-like cover members upon release of the clasp swing about the hinge to separate the edge formations and expose the receptacle, and s

Abstract: A container which protects a book or similar product, has reinforced end walls and is easier and cheaper to form than present containers and the method of forming the container into a book package. The end protection cells of the container are attached to side reinforcing panels. This reduces the number of steps required to place reinforcing panels in the end wall construction. In the preferred construction the end cell panels are attached to the main body only through the reinforcing panels. In one construction, an additional bellows or gusset panel is provided for additional reinforcement.
