A container for storage and display of at least one essentially flat planar item, comprising three planar members including a base member, a cover and an item holding member which is intermediate between the base member and the cover. One end of the cover is folded about a first fold line at a rear end of the base member and about a second fold line to the item holding member. The cover is swingable about the two fold lines between an opened state and a closed state. The item holding member is pivotly connected to a front end of the base member along a third fold line, and comprises two portions pivotly connected to one another along a fourth fold line, and item holding means for holding the item such that at least a portion of the item is retained flush against one of the two portions of the item holding member. The fold lines are arranged such that in the closed state the first fold line is rearward with respect to the second fold line, so that during opening of the cover the first fold line slides to a position forward with respect the second fold line, giving rise to swinging of the two portions of the item holding member about the third fold line such that the item erects.
