Abstract: A package of fiber material or other resilient material for receiving fragile articles, particularly eggs. The package comprises a base member and a top member hinged thereto along one side wall thereof, the flanges of the members engaging each other in the closed state of the package. The top member and the base member have end walls extending transversely of said side wall, the intermediate portion of said end walls being curved inwardly. The flanges of both members at the said curved regions are flared transversely of the main plane of the base member and top member respectively in such a way that the flange of one member in the said region in the closed state of the package forms a recess and the flange of the other member forms a corresponding projection engaging the recess, the end edge of the flared portions being located in the same vertical plane as the end edges of the adjoining flange portions of the said members.
