Abstract: A box is disclosed which incorporates stiff ends and a flexible middle portion, which permits a number of such boxes to be stacked one-atop-another in a stable arrangement, while also permitting a person to manually feel the sectional shape of the housed product by applying compressive force at the edges of the box. The flexible middle portion is comprised of opposing pairs of apex-to-apex arcuate scores on the sides of the box so that compressive forces are localized at these arcuate scores. Each score has unscored regions between its termini and the adjoining edge of the box, so that the box tends to reform to its original shape when the compressive forces are released.
