Food containers for use in packaging, storing, transporting, cooking, and/or serving food contents are provided. The food container can include a pan defining a receptacle. The pan can include one or more side walls, a base, and a lip. The lip can include a thickness sufficient to support the weight of the pan and food contents. The food container may include a lid disposed over the opening into the pan. The lid can be shaped to receive a base of an adjacent pan.

The present invention provides a packaging container for bulk solids, the container comprising a container body and a container lid. The container body includes wall portions that define a container opening. The lid comprises an upper outer lid surface which includes a slanted lid surface. The upper outer lid surface and the slanted lid surface each having a projected surface in the plane of the container opening. The projected surface of the slanted lid surface constitutes from 40% to 100%, 50% to 90%, or 60% to 80% of the projected surface of the upper outer lid surface. The slanted lid surface is slanted such that when the lid is in a closed position at the container opening, a front end edge of the slanted lid surface is located lower in the height direction of the container than a rear end edge of the slanted lid surface.

A rim assembly for a container comprises a frame member (346) having a perimeter corresponding in shape to an opening of a container such that, in use, the frame member is received within the opening and extends around an interior surface of a side wall of the container; a plurality of securing tabs (394) hingedly connected to the frame member (346), each tab (394) including an engagement member (396); sealing means configured for repeated sealing engagement with a lid of the container; and retaining means (399), wherein each of the securing tabs is movable between a first position in which the engagement member is disengaged from an aperture (317) in the container side wall and a second position in which the engagement member (396) is engaged with one of the apertures (317) in the side wall, and wherein the retaining means is configured to retain the securing tabs in the second position such that the rim assembly is secured to the container around a top edge of the side wall.

A food storage container cooling system with a food storage container with walls, at least one wall defining an internal compartment with a top and a bottom, wherein the internal compartment is open at the top and closed at the bottom, and a reusable ice pack that is sized and shaped to fit into the compartment.

A foodservice system includes one or more plates and one or more bowls in a stacking arrangement where the bowls can act as lids for the plates, and the plates can act as lids for the bowls. The one or more plates can hold food items on one surface while acting as a lid for a bowl positioned beneath the plate. These bowls and plates of the foodservice system can be arranged on a tray. The tray can be sized to hold various arrangements of plates, bowls, and other items.

A lid for a container includes snap-fit hooks for interlocking engagement in complementing latching openings of an outwardly projecting flange of a jacket of the container, and stacking parts disposed on a lower side of the lid close to the periphery for form-fitting engagement in complementing stacking parts on an upper side of a further said lid, when the lids are stacked. The lower side of the lid and the upper side of the further lid have each a central region that forms a contact area via which compressive forces are transmissible in the presence of a contact between the contact areas of the lower side of the lid and the contact area of the upper side of the further lid.

The present invention is directed to containers and packaging that incorporate novel tamper evident features that make prominent the evidence of tamper. In particular, the novel tamper prominent containers of the present invention comprise newly designed tamper prominent images, i.e., prominent continuity control (PCC) images. Additionally, the present invention provides novel methods of increasing prominence of the evidence of tamper with a container, e.g., of consumer goods, by incorporating prominent continuity control (PCC) images integrated with a button locking assembly that must be removed to open a locked container making prominent the evidence of tamper through clear visualization in the PCC image, e.g., prominently displaying an image of a broken lock after full fracture and removal of the button locking assembly.

A packaging container includes a base section having a U-shaped perimeter wall and a cover section having a cover outer wall, the cover section adapted to cover the base section when in a closed state. The packaging container includes a closure mechanism including an aperture formed within an outer wall segment of the base section and a projection extending inward from the cover outer wall for engaging the outer aperture of the base section. The closure mechanism retains the cover section over the base section and securing the packaging container in a closed position, wherein an obstructive member obstructs movement of the inner wall segment of the base and prevents the projection from being released from the outer aperture. A release tool is provided for being inserted between the cover outer wall and the base outer wall, wherein the release tool is adapted to move the cover outer wall outwardly to release the projection from the outer aperture, thereby opening the packaging container.

A storage device has a container and a lid dolly that is usable as a lid to close the container and as a dolly to transport the container, wherein the lid dolly has casters configured to fit within the interior of the container when the lid dolly is closed on the container. A storage device kit has a container, a lid, a template, casters and fasteners. A retrofit kit for a storage device with a container and a lid has a template, casters and fasteners. The template may be installed as a reinforcement plate to structurally reinforce the lid for supporting the weight load of the container and its contents.

A container system includes a tub including a front wall, a back wall opposite the front wall and side walls extending between the front wall and the back wall. A bottom extends between the front wall, back wall and side walls. A mouth structure includes a fastening feature configured for connecting to a lid. The mouth structure has an opening therethrough that provides access to a containing volume of the tub. A shoulder extends inwardly from the side walls to the mouth structure. A plurality of unitized doses of a detergent composition is located within the containing volume of the tub. A lid is connected to tub using the fastening feature. The lid has an open position for allowing user access to the containing volume and a closed position for preventing user access to the containing volume.
