Abstract: A pack for notions and/or other relatively small commodities has a converted blank of cardboard or other degradable material and a light-transmitting plastic cover which is separably connected to a container of the converted blank. The converted blank further comprises a plate-like carrier having an opening so that it can be slipped onto a rail or an analogous support in a self-service store, in a workshop or at home. The plane of the carrier is located between the plane of a bottom wall of the container and the plane of a top wall of the cover. The sidewalls of the container forming part of the converted blank are removably confined between the lateral walls of the cover, and the top wall of the cover then overlies the open top of the container. The carrier can be separated from the container to reduce the space requirements of the remaining parts (container and cover) of the pack in a small area. The container can be withdrawn from and reinserted into the cover.
