Abstract: A container includes a base and a lid configured to selectively move between an open position and a closed position. A storage volume of the container is defined by and between the base and the lid in the closed position. The container also includes a first tab on the base, a second tab on the lid, a first locking member, and a second locking member. The second locking member is configured to interlock with the first locking member such that the base and the lid are retained in the closed position when the first locking member and the second locking member are interlocked. The container also includes a bump projecting from one of the first tab and the second tab, such that at least a portion of the second tab is deflected when the lid and the base are in the closed position.

Abstract: Tamper-evident features for containers. A tamper-evident film is target printed onto a sheet material that is thermoformable. The sheet is thermoformed into a container base or lid having a desired shape, such that the tamper-evident film is positioned in a desired area. A container lid is disposed on the container base, and heat sealed to a rim or edge of the container base. The heat sealing activates an adhesive of the tamper-evident film, and when the container lid is removed or separated from the container base, a first portion of the tamper-evident film remains on the container lid and a second portion remains on the container base. The separation of the tamper-evident film provides an indication of tampering.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a tamper evident lid formed of a thermoformed material for use with a container. The lid includes a round, substantially planar surface having a periphery defining a surface circumference. The lid further includes an engagement portion surrounding the periphery and extending there from. The engagement portion includes a friction fit portion extending generally upward from the planar surface; and a tear away portion removably connected to the friction fit portion and being generally parallel to the friction fit portion.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a reinforced nestable container and a method of forming a reinforced nestable container able to withstand a high pressure processing. The container has an open end, a closed end, and a sidewall extending between the open end and the closed end and defines an interior. The closed end has a cone bottom including a first step that steps towards the closed end and forms a flexible point such that the base can flex and return to its original position and shape; a generally flat portion that extends towards the center of the closed end; a second step that steps towards the open end and in to an inner-profile having a first radius in one direction and a second radius in an opposite direction, forming an s-curve; at least one strengthening fillet; and a base plateau, whereby at least the s-curve formed by the first step, the flat portion and the second step spread tension such that the container can withstand pressure therein.
