A box for a quantity of loose objects is provided with a dispensing opening that inhibits and preferably prevents objects from becoming caught within the box in the process of being dispensed. The box comprises walls enclosing a chamber for carrying a quantity of loose objects. A tab is defined, preferably by a weakening line, in a first wall of the box, such that the tab forms a flap when the weakening line is broken or the tab is otherwise separated from the first wall. Then the flap is hingedly attached to the first wall of the box by the aid of an attachment line between the ends of the weakening line. The flap is then pivotable into the chamber of the box after the weakening line has been broken. The tab has a breadth in a direction substantially parallel to the attachment line and a height in a direction substantially perpendicular to the attachment line. The tab height from a free edge thereof to the attachment line is preferably longer than the distance between the attachment line and an edge between the first wall (in which the tab is defined) and a second wall to which the flap formed from the tab is pivoted. Thus, the flap blocks entrance of the objects into an area between the flap and the walls to which the flap is pivoted so that objects are not trapped within the box upon dispensing of the objects.
