A container is described which can hold multiple small articles such as earplugs, and which can be inserted into a dispenser where the contents can be readily released. The container includes a box (30, FIG. 3) whose bottom wall includes a pair of flaps (50, 52) having inner ends (54, 56) pivotally connected to the bottoms of opposite side walls, and having outer portions (64, 66) that lie adjacent to each other. A release device (34) holds the outer portions of the flaps together to prevent them from pivoting down until the release device is pulled out, when the flaps pivot down and the articles fall out. The outer portion of each flap includes an upstanding tab (76, 78, FIG. 5) with a horizontal slot (82), and the release device includes a cardboard plate which is received in the slot. While the upper walls (84) of the slots press down against the release plate, the widely spaced opposite sides (90, 92) of the release plate bear against the upper surfaces (94, 96) of the flaps to prevent the tabs (76, 78) and therefore the flaps (50, 52) from moving down.
