A packaging container for cartridge ammunition includes a box for accommodating the cartridge ammunition and an adapter sleeve disposed in the box and having a rear portion formed as a centering sleeve for surrounding a rearward sabot flange of the cartridge ammunition when situated in the packaging container. The rear portion of the adapter sleeve is affixed to an inner wall of the box. The adapter sleeve further has a forwardly conically tapering front portion having a frontal terminus for engaging a rearwardly oriented side of a frontal sabot flange of the cartridge ammunition when situated in the packaging container. The front portion of the adapter sleeve is provided with elongated apertures oriented along the box length and extending to and breaking through the frontal terminus for dividing the front portion of the adapter sleeve into radially resilient fingers.
