Abstract

A container for a photographic film cartridge consisting essentially of a container body portion being flexible and polygonal and a cap portion fittable to the container body portion revolvably and integrally connected therewith, and the fitting between the container body portion and the cap portion being releasable by deforming the container body portion. When the cartridge is taken out of the container, the cap portion is gradually detached from the container body portion according to the deformation caused by pinching and pressing it. Since the cap portion is connected to the container body portion, the cap portion is still joined to the container body portion, after the fitting is released. Therefore, the container can be opened easily with one hand, and the cap portion is not lost.
