Container with self opening lid

A covered cellulose box having a self-opening lid and latch mechanism comprising:

• a box having a container body defining an internal cavity and a lid attached to the container body by a hinge biased to a normally open position by a spring, the lid having a nib spaced from the hinge;
• a decorative cover formed of sheet of material attached to an outer surface of the box;
• and
• an inner liner oriented within the box adjacent to an opening formed by the container body internal cavity, the inner liner having a fold which cooperates with the lid nib to maintain the lid in a closed position when the fold and the nib are engaged;
• wherein, when a pair of opposed regions on the outer surface of the closed box are squeezed together, the fold disengages from the nib allowing the lid to hinge open, when the a pair of opposed regions are released the lid can be closed again.
