An egg box or carton comprises a moulded plastics base part (1) formed with egg-receiving pockets (4) and a separate carboard lid (2) which is fastened over the open top of the base part to close the latter. The lid (2) comprises a flat top (18) having walls or flaps (19, 20) depending from its edges and which, when the lid is closed, project downwardly within the top of the base part juxtaposed the peripheral walls (5, 6) of the latter. In order to support the edges of the lid, the bottom edges of these walls or flaps rest on ledges (15) moulded in the peripheral walls of the base part below its rim (13). The lid is fastened in its closed position by tabs (18) projecting inwardly from opposite end walls of the base part and engaging in slots (21) in the adjacent walls or flaps (19, 20) of the lid. |
