Abstract
A display case includes separately formed components: (1) a casing which defines an internal cavity having an open end, and (2) a latching closure device with an integrated living hinge. The two components are made of different plastic materials, wherein the different materials have properties advantageously suited for each component. Preferably, the living hinge and closure device is made of a resilient plastic, while the casing is made of a substantially transparent plastic through which the interior of the casing and its contents can be viewed.
