    Patent number: 10766659
    Abstract: A container (10) comprising one or more walls (12, 14, 16) and a base (18) defining an enclosure for storing and displaying one or more items (90). A locking tab (22) is defined in each side wall (16) and corresponding locking slots (26) are defined in the base (18). The locking tabs (22) each define an undercut (22c).
