A glass slide mailer formed of one piece of molded, resilient polymeric material and comprising a base, a cover, and a living hinge section, the base and cover being pivoted about the hinge section and snap-fitted together at two areas to retain the slide therein. The base has a rectangular cavity for receiving the slide defined by first and second end walls, a pair of side walls, and a bottom wall, and the cover has a first protrusion frictionally engageable with the first end wall and the two side walls of the base and a second protrusion frictionally engageable with the second end wall and the two side walls of the base to snap-fit the cover to the base to retain the slide therein. In the closed position, the first protrusion engages the glass slide to resist relative movement thereof. The side walls have notches for ease of applying a tissue sample to the slide mounted in the mailer. The cover and base have reinforcing transverse and longitudinal ribs, as well as peripheral lips to aid in opening the mailer.
