Abstract: A container having an openable lid includes a body and a lid. The body includes a base, at least one wall extending upwardly from the base, and a first surface disposed near a top of the at least one wall. The lid is adapted to engage a top of the at least one wall when the container is in a closed position, and includes a second surface disposed near a bottom of the lid. A foam gasket is permanently attached to and located on one of the first and second surfaces, and provides a seal between the lid and the body when the container is in a closed position. The gasket is attached to the surface while in fluid form.

Abstract: A nestable and stackable food storage container has a base with a bottom panel. The bottom panel has an upper side, a lower side, and a base perimeter. The base also has a cylindrical side wall extending generally upward from and around the base perimeter. The side wall terminates at a top edge and defines an open top. A lid has a top panel with a top side, a bottom side, and a lid perimeter. A nesting structure is provided at least in part on a portion of the base and at least in part on a portion of the lid. The nesting structure permits removably nesting the lower side of the base with the lid in either a standard lid orientation or an inverted lid orientation.

Abstract: A storage container has a container base with a bottom panel and an upstanding circumferentially contiguous base side wall. The side wall extends from and is connected to the bottom panel. The base side wall terminates at a top end that defines a base opening into a base interior. A container lid has a top panel and a lid rim. The lid can be installed on the base with the rim registered with the top end of the base side wall to form a storage enclosure defined within at least the base interior. A basket can be hung from the base top end either within the base interior or exterior to the base side wall when installed. The lid is configured to define at least a vertical portion of the storage enclosure. The lid can be configured having a depth sufficient to provide additional storage space when removed from the container and inverted.

Abstract: A food storage container has a base with a bottom surface and a wall extending upward from a base perimeter of the bottom surface. The wall terminates at a top edge and defines an open top of the base. A rim extends at least partially around the base and extends radially outward from the upstanding wall. A lid is removably received over the open top of the base. The lid has a generally horizontal section with a lid perimeter that engages the top edge of the wall. An opening tab extends radially outward from part of the lid perimeter a sufficient distance to define an exposed tab segment adjacent a portion of the rim.
