A paper-board container is disclosed of the type used for shipping airline passengers' garment bags and other articles supported on hangers. The container includes a top wall and integral hanger. The hanger-support structure is formed in the top wall and includes a slot having an elongated leg parallel to the handle and a transverse leg. The flap of the top wall is foldable under the hanger hook which passes through an opening in the flap and is received in an opening in the top wall. The flap includes ears which are locked in a second opening of the top wall. In a modified version, the flap does not include an opening for receiving the hanger hook ears for locking the flap in place.
