A collapsible tube construction for dispensing a fluid material such as toothpaste, and the like, which employs a hinged lid or closure. The construction includes a shoulder element having a dispensing orifice which seals an open end of the tube when engaged by the lid element. One of the lid element and shoulder element forms a recess communicating with the periphery thereof, the other of said lid element and shoulder element forming an axially-extending tab including a hinge, and end portion of the tab engaging the recess to be retained therein. An inner surface of the lid element includes an axially-aligned projection which selectively engages the dispensing orifice when the lid element is in closed condition.
