Abstract: A container for a photographic film, fully made of expanded (polystyrene) plastic, is comprised of a box made up of two basic members of substantially prismatic, rectangular and equal shape. The basic members are provided with thick side walls and with the base wall forming a thin lateral contour rim. The free edge of each basic member is provided with a projecting rib and a recessed step laterally adjacent the rib. The rib and the step of the two basic members form complementary halves of their contours when the two basic members are placed one over another. A pair of bosses in the form of semicircular arcs formed on the interior of each basic member provide end cradles for the contents of the container.
