  • Patent number: 9108766
    Abstract: Storage container systems include a plurality of containers and a plurality of lids for sealing the containers. The container systems have a plurality of differently sized containers that are configured in modular sizes such that the containers can be stacked together in compact arrangements. The lids can easily be positioned on the containers to create a tight seals to the containers. When the containers are not sealed with the lids, the containers may be nested together, and the lids may be nested together. When nested together, the containers and lids take up a minimal amount of space.
