Abstract

Packaging includes a sleeve and a re-configurable container. The re-configurable container comprises a box and a front flap which are hinged together and are pivotable between a folded-together configuration in which the front flap rests against a front panel of the box and the container is insertable into and removable from the sleeve and an unfolded configuration in which an aperture in the front panel of the box is accessible to give access to a first compartment of the box. A printed document is removably secured to a front face of the front flap and the arrangement is such that, when the container is inserted in the sleeve, the sleeve covers the printed document and, when the container is removed from the sleeve, the printed document is accessible and is removable from the front flap.
