A container formed of
paperboard or like folding material, the container comprising: a latching mechanism arranged, in a latched condition, to selectively
restrict relative movement in at least one direction of first and second substantially planar walls arranged in a face-contacting relationship when in a first position, the latching mechanism comprising: a tab defined by a
cut line extending around a partial perimeter edge thereof and being pivotably connected to the first planar wall by a residual uncut portion, and a recess in the second wall defining a perimeter
abutment surface and being arranged to receive a portion of the perimeter edge and
restrict the movement, the tab being manually disengagable from the recess by a user so as to release the latching mechanism and permit relative movement of the walls from the first position to a second position, wherein the tab is arranged
proximate to a fold line delimiting an edge of the first wall and the
cut line is arranged such that a first end thereof extends at least up to the fold line and a second end terminates at a non-zero distance from the fold line.
