A packaging case is provided for containing at least one container. The case has a first sheet and a second sheet. The first sheet forms a first vertical panel of the case having a first edge with a first bead and a second edge with a second bead, the second edge being opposite the first edge, a first horizontal panel of the case having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, and a second vertical panel of the case having a first edge with a first bead and a second edge with a second bead, the second edge being opposite the first edge. The second sheet connects to the first sheet and forms a third vertical panel of the case having a first edge with a first groove and a second edge with a second groove, the second edge being opposite the first edge, a second horizontal panel of the case having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, and a fourth vertical panel of the case having a first edge with a first groove and a second edge with a second groove, the second edge being opposite the first edge. The first bead of the first vertical panel connects to the second groove of the fourth vertical panel, the second bead of the first vertical panel connects to the second groove of the third vertical panel, the first bead of the second vertical panel connects to the first groove of the fourth vertical panel, and the second bead of the second vertical panel connects to the first groove of the third vertical panel.
