At least one of the upper flaps is fitted, at its ends, with a closing and supporting tab designed to operate together with the opposite side of the container. Once filled, internal wrapping is closed by a tie and all upper flaps are folded down. The upper flap which is folded down last is fitted with a tab able to be inserted between flaps already folded down and the opposite side of the carton. This tab is fitted with a slot able to accommodate a safety locking tab which is pulled out of the opposite side of the container.
