ABSTRACT:
A keyed, two part container for shipping or storing associated articles. The container includes a box portion having a generally planar base member, a pair of opposed sidewalls, and a pair of end walls defining an open area adapted to access a central cavity for receiving the associated articles. Lid receiving means is formed on the box portion, specifically, on the end walls. A lid portion is adapted for receipt over the open area of the box portion. The outer surface of the lid portion is provided with a preselected design that receives, in turn, a preselected pattern defined on an outer surface of the base member of another container. A first keyed means is defined by a continuous flange in the lid portion which matingly engages with the lid receiving means of a compatible box portion and interferes with the lid receiving means of a comparable box portion. Also, a second keyed means is defined by selected ridges extending from recessed areas of the box portion. The selected ridges matingly engage with recessed areas in the lid portion of a compatible container and interfere with a comparable lid portion.
