Abstract: A container includes a container portion and a lid portion. The container portion presents a tab rim and internal threads. The lid portion presents a plurality of flexible removable tabs disposed around its outer periphery. The tabs are adapted to engage with and interlock with the container tab rim when the lid portion is pressed down on the container. The lid portion also has helical threads that are arranged to engage the helical threads of the container portion. At least one of the set of helical threads of the container portion or the set of helical threads of the lid portion are able to flex when the lid portion is pressed down upon the container portion. A closed container may be adapted for repeated use by removing the tabs and using the threaded lid portion to open and close the container.
