Display box

Abstract

A display box for displaying a display piece, comprising a box body, a box cover and a display arrangement comprises a display stand, and a folding panel. A hidden cavity is formed by a mounting edge, a pivot edge and a surrounding wall of the box body is allowing the storage and safe-keeping of important documents, such that they will not be easily lost when the display piece is being displayed. The hidden cavity is also simply accessed, such that the important documents are stored safely yet easy to reach. A hidden, yet simply accessed, locking unit is also provided for locking the display piece to the display box, so as to prevent the display piece from being taken out of the display box in an unauthorized manner.
