Abstract: A container has a container base and a container encloser. The container encloser includes a base ring, a hinged cover and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism includes a stationary catch portion and a deflectable latch portion. The deflectable latch portion is sufficiently deflectable to allow the finger of a user to deflect the deflectable latch portion away from the stationary catch portion so that the hinged cover can be moved from a closed position to an open position.

Abstract: A carton includes a longitudinally extending sidewall portion which circumscribes and defines a carton cross-section interior and is provided with at least two tiers of integral support ledges which extend into the carton interior. Each support ledge is formed from a pair of slits in the sidewall which extend integrally from and between spot creases formed in the sidewall, and each support ledge has at least two interior spot creases positioned between the end spot creases. The carton may have a rectilinear cross-section and longitudinally extending corner edges formed by adjacent sidewalls, and the slits which form the support ledge may be offset with respect to the corner edge formed by the adjacent sidewalls from and between which the slits extend.
