The cover element (7) comprises at least a first wall (14) serving as a top wall of the receptacle (1) when the cover element (7) covers the base body (5) and a second wall (15) arranged orthogonally to the first wall (14). The second wall (15) overlaps at least partially one of the front wall (25), the rear wall (11) and the side walls (27, 27') when the cover element (7) covers the base body (5), so that a first edge of the secondwall (15) arranged distantly from the first wall (14) faces the outer surface (25a) of the respective wall (25) of the base body. According to the present invention, the second wall (15) of the coverelement (7) comprises a zone at least in the area of the first edge which is composed of a flexible material, the zone in particular being a soft lip (23) which is fixed to a portion of the second wall (15) composed of a rigid material.
