Abstract

A powder box with a first box body with an interior cavity and an upward facing opening, a first box cover capable of lidding over the first box body and covering the opening, a circle of a protruding portion formed on an upper surface of the first box body and protruding upwards, and a lower surface of the first box cover being of elastomeric material capable of elastic deformation. The protruding portion contacts the lower surface of the first box cover and causes elastic deformation of the lower surface of the first box cover when the first box cover lids over the first box body. The protruding portion and the elastomeric material of the lower surface of the first box cover cooperate to seal the first box body and the first box cover.
