ABSTRACT:
A container (1) for a plurality of test strips, in particular for strip-shaped indicator sticks, has a housing lower part (2) and a housing upper part (3), which can be brought into engagement with the housing lower part (2) in a positive manner, where the housing upper part (3) has an opening with a sealing flap (14) mounted in a pivotable manner, where the housing lower part (2) has a plurality of projecting snap-in elements (7), which can be brought into engagement with matched recesses (10) of the housing upper part (3), and where the sealing flap (14) is connected along its periphery to the housing upper part (3) by means of at least one connecting strip which can be torn off. The snap-in elements (7) project by more than one wall thickness of the housing upper part (3) in the region around the recesses (10). The sealing flap (14) preferably has a tear-off connecting strip on each of two opposite sides. The sealing flap (14) is preferably mounted in a pivotable manner on the housing lid (15) of the housing upper part (3) and forms a corner (13) of the housing upper part (3). The length of the sealing flap (14) along the housing lid (15) is preferably less than the length of the sealing flap (14) along the side wall (24) of the housing upper part (3).
