Abstract
A container blank is provided for a box with a hinged lid wherein the lid is reliably closed by way of an enlarged collar section. The closure of the box can be aided by surfaces formed on the container blank such that when folded into a box, the surfaces of the closure can provide resistance to the lid opening. Additionally, a lid portion of the container blank can optionally be provided with an embossed section.
