Packaging container

Abstract

A packaging container mainly includes a box having a horizontally outward extended flange provided along an upper rim thereof, and a cover adapted to fitly close an open top of the box. The box is provided at corners of the flange with upward projected retaining catches, and an inner side of each retaining catch forms an inward and downward inclined engaging recess. The cover is correspondingly provided at corners with retaining bands adapted to engage with the engaging recesses when the cover is closed onto the box. Whereby the cover can be quickly and firmly connected to the open top of the box for the packaging container to hold things therein without the need of binding or tying the packaging container.
