a box of matches

English to Romanian Other Other everyday objects
Hi,

I believe that “a matchbox” (i.e. a box made for the purpose of containing matches, whether full or empty) = o cutie de chibrituri.

So, how do you say “a box of matches”, please? I.e. a box full of matches.

All the best,

Simon

cutie cu chibrituri

The preposition "cu" would imply that there are matches in the box.
