Container having slideable closure means

A storage container comprising:

• an integrally formed tray portion having bottom, front and rear walls and opposed side walls;
• side panels attached to the side walls of said tray, said side panels having an inwardly extending horizontal flange means located generally intermediate the top and bottom thereof, said panels having generally vertical flanges located along the front and rear thereof, said horizontal flanges being located closely adjacent the top of the respective side walls of said tray and said vertical flanges being located closely adjacent said front and rear walls of said tray so that the sides of said tray fit within said horizontal vertical flanges;
• each of said side panels having a channel along a substantial portion of the periphery thereof, said channels being opposed to one another and adapted to receive a sliding closure member therebetween;
• a closure member fitting in the channel of said opposite side panels, said member being generally rigid in the direction between said channels and flexible in the transverse direction so that said member is slideable in said channels and can be moved around the corners thereof to thereby open and close the container, said closure member being dimensioned so as to extend generally around approximately one half of the periphery of said container.
