English translation:cardboard box

Explanation:
I don't agree with the tea website that's been given...this is definitely not a Stülpschachtel. Stülpschachteln have a bottom part and a lid, fullstop.

It's a diary in a cardboard box what else do you want to call it? Unlike a shoe box of course, the German "Stülp" implies that the lid is somewhat larger than a regualr lid...

Sorry, but I don't seem to be able to copy the web reference into the box below....

Laut der unten angebenen Beschreibung kann gibt es Stülpschachteln und Stülpkartons...

Perhaps in English we would even say: Diary in cardboard gift box given your context and forget about the lid idea altogether...
