A slide and shell container comprising: an outer shell having opposed first front wall and second rear wall connected by opposed third and fourth side walls; an inner slide in the outer shell for slidable movement relative thereto between a closed position and an open position, the inner slide comprising: a body having a first rear wall and a second bottom wall; and a lid having a first rear wall, a second top wall and opposed third and fourth side walls, the rear walls of the body and the lid being connected along a hinge line about which the lid is pivotable when the inner slide is in the open position, wherein the distance from the top to the bottom of the side walls of the lid is greater than the distance from the top of the rear wall of the lid to the hinge line and the portions of the side walls of the lid below the level of the hinge line do not impinge on the front wall of the outer shell when the inner slide is in the closed position and limit pivoting of the lid about the hinge line by impinging on the front wall of the outer shell when the inner slide is in the open position.
