The container further comprises a lid to engage with the 5 side walls to close off the cavity of the box, wherein the lid has a similar polygon shape as the opening of the box. The box is configured such that the bottom of the box can be introduced into a cavity of another box via the opening thereof for stacking purposes. Each corner of the polygon shape of the sidewalls of the box is provided with a protrusion and a recess, wherein the protrusion extends away from the cavity in order to act as a space member thereby 10 setting the extent to which one box can be introduced into another box during stacking of the boxes, and wherein the recess is arranged opposite to and corresponding to the respective protrusion. The lid comprises a locking member at each corner of the polygon shape of the lid, such that the locking members are associated with respective recesses in the box, wherein each locking member of the lid and the respective recess of the box are configured 15 to engage with each other to releasably connect the lid to the box in order to close off the cavity of the box.
