ABSTRACT:
A box for conveniently storing and dispensing material has a front wall, a back wall, a first and a second side wall, a first one of the side walls having an opening and an inside surface, a top and a bottom flap, and a slide that is in contact with the inside surface of the first side wall, with the slide having an opening. The front wall, back wall, first and second side walls, and top and bottom flaps are interconnected so as to form a box, the slide being movable between an open position in which the slide opening substantially aligns with the side wall opening and a closed position in which the slide opening is entirely out of alignment with the front wall opening, thereby closing the box. As one option, the slide may have sides which are cut to extend generally parallel to the top flap when the box is in the form of a flat blank prior to box formation.
