The lid (1) consists of four sides (12, 13, 14, 15), four corners (5, 6, 7, 8), an upper surface (18), a lower surface (16) and an outer surrounding border. The four corners (5, 6, 7, 8) have vertical surfaces (3) arranged on the lower surface (16) of the lid that cooperate with the vertical surfaces (4) of the recesses in the rim (21) of the box (2).
