One way to put a hinged top on a box is with Technic.
Part of an ongoing series called Boxes ... making useful or decorative containers out of LEGO.
Top left: I think of this as the official LEGO hinge, as seen in sets like 40118 Buildable Brick Box. It's bulky but very strong.
Top right: Opposing modified plates joined with a pin. Fairly strong and closes neatly.
Bottom left: Opposing modified plates, without using the relatively new inverted one. The opening exactly fits two opposing cheese slopes.
Bottom right: Modified 2x2 plate pinned to a 1x2 Technic brick. Also quite strong, but leaves a gap at the back of the box.
If you want to go studs-out on five sides, here's an example using hinged plates. A bit complicated, but sturdier than the clip hinges, and about as sturdy as most of the Technic hinges.

I was curious about this rusty hinge, now inaccessible to anyone who needs to remove its pin or the hinge itself. It looks like a facade was added to the building after the door was installed.
This box, designed in late 2020, is decorated with a shamrock, and folded from a single square of Tant paper. In contrast to most of my box designs, in which the lid is separate from the bottom part, this one is single-part and opens via a hinge. Two large flaps on both sides lock underneath a pleat that goes along the bottom of the box, making it possible to close the box quite neatly.
In order to limit the design to the convenient 16×16 grid, I ended up with a slit between the closed lid and the front wall. Using a slightly larger grid, it should be easy to add a small flap in front of the lid and ensure that in closed state, nothing can fall out of the box.

I saw this hinge, and the door finish, and it impressed me. The finish on the door was perfect.
It looks like there are flats on the bolt-looking things.
The whole hinge looks handmade.
I'm unsure where I saw this.

1964 Chevy II Nova B/FX altered wheelbase gasser-style coupe. With a 1964 Chevy G10 van straight axle and parallel-leaf front suspension, this little coupe is the business. Fiberglass tilt front clip makes for easy access to the motor for tuning in between rounds at the strip. The powerplant is a de-stroked 327 small-block (with a forged crankshaft from a 283) displacing 302ci, with a Duntov 30-30 camshaft and a 4-71 GMC roots blower stuffing fuel from a 2-port Hilborn injector into the cylinders. Transmission is a heavily built Powerglide sending power to a 4.56:1 geared 12-bolt rear. This combo, along with some severe weight-reduction strategies, places this little monster squarely in the B-Factory eXperimental class for the 1964-65 drag racing season.

I have a special love for mid-60's compacts like Falcons, Novas, and Darts, and especially when they have a straight axle under the front. These types of cars, including their mid-sized brothers and sisters, were cutting-edge in 64-65 when the American automakers were battling it out on the drag strips across the US. The wheelbase alterations became wildly absurd, with the rear suspension sometimes being moved two feet forward!! Of course, in 1966, Mercury introduced the now infamous fiberglass Comet bodies that were hinged at the rear and flipped up to allow access to their all-new dragster chassis, and thus, the modern Funny Car as we know it was born, and A/FX and its sub-classes faded quickly into oblivion. If you've read this far, I thank you and hope you enjoy this little beast here. The flip front end was a bit of a challenge, but nothing too special or out of the ordinary. This one rolls really well and managed to hold together completely even after a pretty gnarly crash on the warehouse floor during the roll testing. Thanks for looking, comments and constructive criticisms are, as always, welcome.
Ivory box in the shape of a cylindrical tusk with a dome-shaped lid that opens and closes with a hinge and a silver clasp with niello detailing. The delicate carving creates chiaroscuro effects with the decorative motifs: arabesques and palmettes, gazelles, peacocks and other birds that recreate a palace garden.
A Kufic inscription on the base of the lid indicates the date of manufacture (353 after Hijra / 964 CE), the author (Durri al-Salir), the person who commissioned it (Caliph Al-Hakam II) and the intended recipient (the caliph’s favourite, Subh).
Full transcription:
"God's blessing upon the Imam, God's slave, Al-Hakam al-Mustansir bi'llah, Prince of Believers. Of what was ordered made for the noble mother of Prince 'Abd al-Rahman, under the direction of Durri As-Saghir, in the year 353 AH."
Associated with the ivory workshops of Madinat al-Zahra in Córdoba, it was commissioned by Caliph Al-Hakam II for his concubine, Subh, mother of Prince 'Abd al-Rahman, who died young.
Also known as 'Subh's Boat' and 'Zamora's Boat'. This piece was acquired from the Zamora Cathedral in 1911.
