Abstract
A multicompartment box for storing and dispensing sets of small parts such as orthodontic brackets. The box has a vacuum-formed base with cavity-like depressions for receiving the parts, and a transparent lid is slidably mounted on the base to cover and uncover the parts. The base defines button-like buttons or projections which fit into mating lid grooves arranged to retain the lid on the box, and to releasably secure the lid in the closed position.
