Title: Pizza storage box with lid capable of being partially opened and folded back
Inventor: YAFEI NASSER
IPC: B65D5/42
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: A storage box 10 suitable for containing a pizza or other foodstuffs comprises a tray portion 11 and a lid portion 12. The lid has a face region 20 which extends over the tray portion when the box is closed, and the lid further comprises a pre-fabricated fold line 25 which extends across the face.
