Abstract: A container comprises a base and a container sidewall extending from one side of the base about a perimeter thereof to define an interior volume of the container. Opposed outward protrusions are formed in the container sidewall adjacent and spaced from the distal edge thereof. Opposed receiving slots are defined through the container sidewall for receiving and retaining T-shaped handle ends, with the receiving slots being at least partly defined in the outward protrusions. The outward protrusions each form a cavity recessed from the inside surface of the container sidewall to accommodate the T-shaped handle ends and limit protrusion thereof beyond the inside surface of the container sidewall to limit damage to the container contents caused by contact of the T-shaped handle ends with the container contents.

Abstract: A container and lid assembly includes a container and a lid. The container has bottom and a container sidewall extending generally upwardly from the bottom about a perimeter thereof. The container sidewall has an upper edge structure defining an inwardly inclined, inwardly facing lid engagement surface. The lid has a top and a lid sidewall depending from the top about a perimeter thereof. The lid sidewall has an upturned lower edge structure defining an outwardly extending lid shoulder and an inwardly inclined, outwardly facing container engagement surface. The lower edge structure of the lid sidewall corresponds in size and shape to the upper edge structure of the container sidewall, and the lid is securable to the container by an interference fit with the lid engagement surface engaging the container engagement surface about the respective perimeters of the container and the lid.
