Claim:
A display box comprising: a base tray having a rear wall, a lid having a rear wall, and a hinge element for connecting the lid with the base tray; wherein the hinge element extends along and down from at least a part of an inner lower edge of the lid rear wall, and includes a flexible hinge portion that is attached to the lid and a rigid hinge portion that is mounted within the base tray and lies adjacent the rear wall of the base tray; the arrangement of the base tray, lid and hinge element being such that when the lid is hinged open, the flexible hinge portion extends over and against an upper end of the base tray rear wall and is pulled taut between the rigid hinge portion and the lid under the influence of the weight of the open lid, the tension in the flexible hinge portion limiting the degree of opening of the lid and holding the lid in place, at an angle to the vertical.
