Abstract: A stackable container is disclosed which is removably secured to a display card. The container is molded from thin flexible sheet of transparent thermoplastic material and is provided with retention tabs on the side wall of the receptacle portion of the container whereby the container can be disposed in snap retention fit within an opening formed in the display card. The display card contains information carrying means while the container cover is free of printed material to fully expose the product contained therein. The cover of the container is hinged to the receptacle portion, and has a recessed top wall portion for captive stacking of a plurality of these containers. The recessed top wall has a contour vertical wall which is dimensioned for friction fit in a recess inner circumferential ledge of the receptacle.
