Blast resistant and blast directing containers, as well as doors and closure s therefor, for receiving explosive articles and preventing or minimizing damage in the event of an explosion. The container comprises a t least three nested bands of material wherein the bands are oriented relative to one another to substantially enclose a volume and to fo rm a container wall having a thickness substantially equivalent to the sum of the thicknesses of at least two of the bands. The containers have utility as cargo holders, particularly in aircraft where weight is an important consideration, and as transport devices for hazardous materials such as gunpowder and explosives, e.g., bombs and grenades.
