  • Patent number: 5944177
    Abstract: A packaging container prevents folded margins from becoming loose and prevents a mount from slipping out or the folded margins from hooking each other which might be caused by the loose folded margins. The packaging container comprises a main body having a storage section which is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material and is opened to one direction to store an article to be packaged. The mount covers the opening of the storage section to create a packaging space by inserting a peripheral edge portion of the mount between the folded margins folded over a peripheral edge portion of the main body and the peripheral edge portion. Cuts are made on the peripheral edge portion of the mount to form engaging pieces and the folded margins are inserted partially to the inside of the engaging pieces from the above-mentioned cuts to fix on the side of the main body of the peripheral edge portion of the mount.
