Abstract: A container apparatus and a method for using the container apparatus is disclosed. The disclosed apparatus can be implemented in a wide variety of ways, including but not limited to that of a food or beverage container. The container apparatus can include a lid and a body that are integral to each other.

Abstract: The container has a body with an integral lid extending upwardly from an upper edge portion thereof. A score line is provided between the container body and the lid, permitting the lid to be folded over to a closed position against the opposite side of the container, the lid being shaped so that it conforms to the shape of the container body. The lid has an edge portion which is foldable upwardly along the container body and can be sealed against the container body to produce a secure seal. Preferably, the score line is a straight line parallel to the bottom of the container, resulting in a flat lid, and preferably the lid is sealed to the container body in a horizontal position, thereby providing a flat horizontal surface to facilitate stacking and shipping.
