A light-tight package, for securely containing a light-sensitive article, comprises a mating pair of rectanguloid inner and outer boxes. The inner box, adapted to enclose the light-sensitive article, has a bottom wall, front and rear walls, opposite end walls, and a closable and openable top wall with an integral flap that tucks inside the front wall. The outer box, adapted to enclose the inner box, has a top wall, front and rear walls, and opposite end walls, but no bottom wall. The walls of both boxes are formed by selective folding of specially configured paperboard blanks. The resulting inner and outer box is closed with its top wall facing upward, and the outer box is superposed thereover with its top wall also facing upward, the outer box is slidable downward in snug telescoping fashion around the inner box, with corresponding front, rear, and opposite end walls of the two boxes disposed in close confronting relation to one another, thereby providing a durable light-tight package for a light-sensitive article enclosed within the inner box.
