ABSTRACT:
Containers for storing and displaying an object are provided which include a first base member having a transparent area located such that an object to be placed within the container is visible through the transparent area when the container is in a closed position. The containers also include a second base member and a hinge interconnecting the first and the second base members. The first base member is movable with respect to the second base member between a closed position in which the peripheral edges are releasably latchable and an open position in which the base members are at least partially spaced from each other. The closed position defines a hollow interior space for receiving an object to be placed therein. Containers for storing objects which, while not including a transparent area, also include overlapping flanges coextensive with each base member are also provided.
