The base and sidewall can cooperate together to define an interior storage compartment that can be selectively sealed by the removable lid. In one aspect of the invention, the hexagon defined by the container includes two sides having a first length and four sides having a second length, with the first length being smaller than the second length. A modular storage system including a plurality of such storage tins is also disclosed. Methods for packaging an item, such as popcorn, candy, cookies, or the like, are also disclosed.
