Abstract
A package ( ) for packaging and storing elongated items such as sewing needles ( ) has a tray ( ) and a lid part ( ), which are held or connected together to define a housing space. The tray ( ) and the lid part ( ) each have a flap-type section ( ) at their bead end. These sections can be pivoted toward and away from one another, and can be latched together. When the two flaps ( ) are pivoted away from one another, they expose the ends of stored items, e.g., the sewing needles ( ), projecting out of the housing space ( ), so the items can easily be pulled out of the housing space ( ). It is therefore possible to secure the items or sewing needles ( ), for example, in a frictional, in the housing space ( ).
