Abstract
A merchandise storage container includes a tray slidable into and out of an outer sleeve with both formed as rigid set up boxes. The tray slides from a retracted position wherein it is disposed within and protected by an outer sleeve to an extended position with respect to an outer sleeve wherein the merchandise holder is accessible. The tray configuration provides for essentially full extension of the holder from the sleeve while preventing the tray from being readily separated from the sleeve. The merchandise holder is carried by or formed from a portion of the tray. The rear wall of the rigid set up box tray functions to lock the tray within the outer sleeve.
