Abstract

A printing material supply may include a body to contain a printing material, a latch pivotably coupled to the body by a living hinge and a latch protector. The latch protector may include a structure coupled to and projecting from the body so as to contact a packaging surface of a package to inhibit creep of the latch about the living hinge when the printing material supply is contained within the packaging.
