  • Patent number: 11912463
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, the exemplary containers described herein include a corner structure that can facilitate stacking while limiting reliance on satellite rings. For example, in certain embodiments, a container includes a step-like corner structure with a series of stackable portions. Thus, in these embodiments, more containers can be stacked together in a smaller space, such that shipping and manufacturing processes are more efficient and less costly than with traditional containers.

  • Publication number: 20220411143
    Abstract: An exemplary tamper evident tub is disclosed. In various embodiments, the exemplary tub includes one or more breakable tabs in near proximity to a lid latching assembly. The one or more breakable tabs, in particular embodiments, prevent access to one or more lift tabs and latches, while the tamper evident tub lid is in a closed position. In various embodiments, the one or more lift tabs and latches are operable to allow for the lid to be opened from a closed position. In some embodiments, removing the breakable tabs allows access to the one or more lift tabs and latches, and further indicates that the exemplary tub has been tampered with.

  • Publication number: 20220024652
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to containers and container lids. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed containers and container lids provide a liquid-tight seal with the inclusion of a separately attached ring that generally eliminates material-trapping seams. For example, in certain embodiments, a container and a container ring for attaching to the rim of the container is disclosed. In these embodiments, the container ring attaches to the rim of the container such that a liquid-tight vertical seal is formed, thereby reducing or eliminating material-trapping seams.

  • Publication number: 20210403205
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to containers and container lids. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed containers and container lids include an improved seal structure that forms a liquid-tight seal. For example, in certain embodiments, the improved seal structure is included on a built-in ring around the rim of the container. In some embodiments, the improved seal structure is included on a separate container ring for attaching to a container. In these embodiments, the contents of the container may be poured out of the container such that virtually no excess content is trapped in-between seams.
