Abstract: A container in the form of a packaging having at least one supporting or receptacle part such as for medicaments or the like, which if necessary or desired are contained in a separate medicament vessel and a lid which is slidable on guiding strips on the receptacle part. The slidable engagement of the lid and receptacle is effected by longitudinal edge portions on the lid or receptacle engaging in grooves on the other part. At opposite ends of the container, flaps made at least in part of flexible or reversible material are provided and, when the container is closed serve as stops which restrict relative movement between the lid and the receptacle. The flaps may be bendable, or removable or contain projections which may engage in recesses when the container is closed.
