Abstract

A packaging container is provided, which is configured such that a plurality of food pieces are contained in anteroposteriorly overlapping relation in a plurality of rows, and satisfies requirements for the compactness of the container and the pick-out easiness for picking out each of the food pieces. In a packaging container (A) having a slidable configuration, chewing gum pieces (40) (food strips) can be contained upright in side-by-side relation in a front chamber (L) and in a rear chamber (B) located behind the front chamber (L). The rear chamber (B) is combined with the front chamber (L) so as to be slidable upward with respect to the front chamber (L). Therefore, there is no need to preliminarily provide a raised bottom portion in a rear portion of the packaging container (A) for locating chewing gum strips (40) contained in a rear row (rear chamber (B)) at a higher height level than chewing gum strips (40) contained in a front row (front chamber (L)), but the chewing gum strips (40) can be easily picked out by sliding the rear chamber (B) upward with respect to the front chamber (L) as required to locate the rear row chewing gum strips (40) at a higher height level than the front row chewing gum strips (40). This obviates the need for providing the raised bottom portion, thereby achieving the size reduction of the packaging container (A).
