ABSTRACT:
A lidded container for inventorying, shipping and storing goods having a security hinge including a blind boss disposed at one end of the hinge assembly, an open ended terminal boss disposed at the opposite end of the hinge assembly and a plurality of intermediate hinge bosses extending between the blind and terminal bosses with a hinge wire extending through the intermediate bosses and defining an axis about which the lid moves relative to the container. The terminal boss is open ended having an aperture as well as defining a cavity disposed in spaced relation relative to the axis of the hinge wire. The hinge wire has first and second ends with the first end disposed adjacent the closed end of the blind boss and the second end terminating in an offset portion disposed at an angle relative to the hinge wire axis. The hinge wire has a predetermined length which is less than the predetermined length of the hinge assembly such that the offset portion is captured and retained within the cavity of the terminal boss.
