Abstract: This invention is a tamper evident container having a base and removable lid comprising a pull tab and a lid surface, wherein the base and lid fit together with an interference fit. The pull tab extends toward the center of the lid surface and away from a base portion of the pull tab, the base portion being located at an edge of the lid. The pull tab further comprises a pull tab portion having a first side that is attached to a first tab marker by a first frangible line, and a second side that is attached to a second tab marker by a second frangible line. The pull tab portion overlays at least one detent that marginally biases the pull tab portion away from the lid surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tamper evident container comprising a base, a lid, and a tab, wherein the lid has a hidden edge seated on the base and tab is a separate article that is bonded to the lid. The tab is preferably used to demonstrate overt evidence of tampering with the container and to disengage the lid from the base. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tab is bonded at first and second tab portions on a lid surface near a middle lid edge of the lid. The second portion of the tab comprises a bonded tab marker and a bridge. When the tab is pulled away from the lid, the bonded tab marker breaks away from the tab at a frangible line, and remains bonded to the lid as evidence of tampering with the container. Absent the marker, the boundaries of the bridge define a finger hole in the tab that may be used to unseat the lid from the base.
