Abstract: Foodstuffs packaging, such as an egg carton, having a bottom part which has at least one row of shaped depressions for accommodating eggs or separate articles and a lid part, which is arranged for swing action on the bottom part, the bottom part or the lid part being provided with complementary clamping elevations and clamping openings, the clamping openings being arranged on the other of the lid part or the bottom part offset in relation to the clamping elevations. The offset arrangement of the clamping elevations and of the clamping openings allows the units to be connected with clamping action such that they are offset in relation to one another. The clamping openings may be connected to a trough which produces an accommodating space for items which are to be inserted therein, it being possible for the accommodating space to be closed off using a sticker as a cover.
