ABSTRACT:
Described is a tray-shaped packing container, particularly for containing components of a combination tool system or the like. The packing container may at the same time be used as a storage container, and may be combined with further containers of similar construction to form a packing and storage unit. To this purpose, the sidewalls and bottom of the packing container are formed of a shape-retaining material, the outer surfaces of at least two opposite sidewalls being provided with locking means for engagement with connecting elements employed for interconnecting stacked packing containers of the same type. Adjacent the sidewalls the bottom of the container is formed with a circumferentially extending recess dimensioned to receive the free upper edges of the sidewalls of a subjacent container. The packing container is finally provided with a transparent cover, so that no further packing materials are required. In a preferred embodiment the connecting elements are formed with engagement lugs and disposed in a recess of the respective sidewall, so that they do not project from the outer surface of the sidewalls. Also provided is a cover lid having similar engagement lugs and a similar circumferentially extending recess, so that it can be combined with any of the packing containers.
