A receptacle having an opening providing access to an interior of the receptacle and including a first receptacle portion and a second receptacle portion that enclose the opening when joined together, said receptacle further including a closure for securing said first receptacle portion and said second receptacle portion together, said closure comprising a first closure member adapted for mounting on said first receptacle portion and a second closure member adapted for mounting on said second receptacle portion; wherein said first closure member and said second closure member each have a structured surface and a back surface behind said structured surface having no greater extent than said structured surface with said structured surfaces being brought into contact with each other when said first and second receptacle portions are brought together, said structured surfaces including a plurality of solid elements arranged to form grooves extending in a direction along said opening, and the back surface of each of said first and second closure members is provided with an offset strip that extends along a portion of the back surface, the offset strips each having a raised surface, and the raised surfaces are mounted to said first and second receptacle portions, respectively, in the direction of said grooves while another portion of the back surface of each of said first and second closure members is free from connection to and spaced from said first and second receptacle portions, respectively, so that said first and second closure members are relatively movably connected to said first and second receptacle portions to be pivotal about an axis of connection along the direction of said grooves and to effectively change a separation mode of the closure from that which occurs when such relative movement is not permitted.
