A pack for notions and/or other relatively small commodities has a converted blank of cardboard or other degradable material and a light-transmitting plastic cover which is separably connected to a container of the converted blank. The converted blank further comprises a plate-like carrier having an opening so that it can be slipped onto a rail or an analogous support in a self-service store, in a workshop or at home. The plane of the carrier is located between the plane of a bottom wall of the container and the plane of a top wall of the cover. The sidewalls of the container forming part of the converted blank are removably confined between the lateral walls of the cover, and the top wall of the cover then overlies the open top of the container. The carrier can be separated from the container to reduce the space requirements of the remaining parts (container and cover) of the pack in a small area. The container can be withdrawn from and reinserted into the cover.
A pack for notions comprising a first one-piece section of a biodegradable material and a second one-piece section of a non-biodegradable material said non-biodegradable material consisting of a light-transmitting plastic material, said first section comprising a container having an open top, a bottom wall, and sidewalls extending upwardly from said bottom wall and surrounding said open top, said first section further comprising a substantially plane carrier of one piece with said container said carrier extending substantially parallel to said bottom wall and having means for suspending said first section on a support, said carrier further having a front side and a rear side and said sidewalls extending beyond said front side, said second section comprising a cover separably confining at least a portion of said container, said cover comprising a top wall confronting said open top and lateral walls outwardly adjacent said sidewalls.
