Abstract
Abstract A packaging set for solid articles including a container for accommodating the solid articles therein, and a film cover made of breakable thin film fixedly secured on the opening edge of the container so as to hermetically seal the opening of the container, and a casing including a case having a mouth corresponding to and slightly smaller than that of the opening of the container, and lid lid detachably set onto the case so as to be able to move to close or open the mouth of the case. Side edges of the mouth of the case are applied to press onto the film of the cover of the receptacle to break the film at portions corresponding to at least three sides of the opening of the container. All the solid articles in the container are thus able to transfer into the case at one time, leaving the broken film behind with the container.
