A container particularly adapted for small confectionery items and the like has a bottom with a floor and surrounding walls. The rear wall is of reduced height in comparison to the other walls. A cover having a rear wall pivotally affixed to a top edge of the bottom rear wall. When the cover is in a vertical position the cover's rear wall extends horizontally rearwardly from the bottom rear wall, forming a balcony-like extension to the floor, allowing product to be loaded into the container to be supported thereon during a filling process. When the cover is closed the product on the balcony is directed into the main container volume, allowing a more dense packing of the product to be achieved.
