Abstract
A packaging container is formed from preformed, rigid base and cover units of U-shaped cross-section. The case unit is configured so that its side walls fit within and are embraced by side walls of the cover unit when assembled as a container. The side walls of the base and cover units have a plurality of straight-cut slits in their side walls, creating a plurality of flaps and allowing both the base and cover units to enclose randomly shaped objects. A single unit packaging container is also disclosed.
