Abstract: An envelope-type container (10), in particular for stockings and the like, is made with a dinked basically flat element (11). The flat element (11) presents lines of facilitated folding (12) which identify one first side (23) of the envelope-type container (10), and, in addition, closing flaps (24, 24′) associated to the first side (23), three of the said flaps (24) being folded back along the lines of facilitated folding (12) and being mutually connected to form one second side of the container (10), opposite to the first side (23). Furthermore, the container (10) is accessible through at least one opening (16), removably closeable by means of a fourth closing flap (24′). The fourth closing flap (24′) presents an incision (17) to facilitate the operations of opening the container (10) when the latter is closed.
