Abstract
A reclosable container for storing and dispensing articles includes a body with a hinged base which can be opened for insertion of a supply of the articles and a cover, hinged to the body for access to the stored articles. The body and both the base and the cover have complementally configured locking projections and depressions so that they may be locked together in the closed position to seal off the interior. The cover also has a complemental configuration to the peripheral configuration surrounding an opening in the body to provide interlocking and surface to surface contact therebetween to further insure a substantially airtight seal therebetween. Also the top of the body, including the cover, and the base are of a complemental concave/convex configuration on to facilitate nesting of multiple containers.
