The semirigid plastic content of a fresh produce container is reduced by omitting or removing a central portion of a semirigid plastic lid to form a central opening therein. The central opening is covered and sealed by a plastic film, which can be applied before, during, or after packaging. The film can include visible indicia. The plastic film can be attached to an inner flange of the lid that surrounds the central opening, and can be by a resealable adhesive. During a packaging step, the tray is filled with the fresh produce, and then the lid can be sonically spotwelded to the tray. The sonic spotwelding can be of an outer lid flange to a corresponding outer tray flange. In embodiments where the central portion of the lid is removed, the removed plastic can be combined with precursor plastic and used to form additional semirigid plastic lids.

An easily broken rib is arranged between the cover body and the first clamping part, and an easily broken edge is arranged between the box body and the second clamping part, or the easily broken edge is arranged between the cover body and the first clamping part, and the easily broken rib is arranged between the box body and the second clamping part.

A lid for outfitting a container is provided. The lid includes a cover shell defining a first cavity, a first lid rim defining an opening, and a hinge member constructed to pivotally interconnect the first lid rim with the cover shell. The cover shell releasably lockable to the first lid rim.

A lid for outfitting a container is provided. The lid includes a cover shell defining a first cavity, a clamp including a frustum portion, a clamp horizontal plateau, and an upstanding lip, a hinge member constructed to pivotally interconnect the clamp with the cover shell.

Vacuum insulated storage containers storage containers are provided. In some embodiments, an insulating container is provided comprising: a receptacle that comprises an inner receptacle, an outer receptacle, and a first gasket configured to form a first seal between the inner receptacle and the outer receptacle, wherein one or more compartments are formed in the inner receptacle and wherein a first vacuum cavity is formed between an outer wall of the inner receptacle and an inner wall of the outer receptacle; a one-piece lid structure that comprises an inner lid portion, an outer lid portion, and a second gasket configured to form a second seal between the inner lid portion and the outer lid portion, wherein a second vacuum cavity is formed between an outer wall of the inner lid portion and an inner wall of the outer lid portion; a plurality of latches connected to an outer wall of the outer lid portion, wherein each of the plurality of latches is configured to connect the one-piece lid structure to the receptacle; and a cover that is formed to securably attach to the outer lid portion.

A food container system includes a container, a lid and an elastic sleeve. The container has a cavity defined by sidewalls and a bottom. The container also has a shoulder with an undercut around a perimeter of the container. The lid has a central portion, an exterior border, and a plurality of receivers having openings and a tab. Each of the tabs have first and second pivot members that are pivotally retained in the openings in the receivers to allow the tabs to be pivoted between an open position and a locked position. The tabs have a flange with a protrusion that engages the undercut to secure the lid to the container in the locked position. The elastic sleeve is secured around the container to protect the container.

A container including a base having a first flange extending from a side of the base; a lid having a second flange extending from a side of the lid, wherein the first flange and second flange are coupled together at a living hinge, a first perforation cut positioned on the first flange or the second flange, a plurality of bubbles or raised portions positioned on the flange which does not have the first perforation cut, wherein the bubbles or raised portions are positioned over the first perforation cut when the lid is closed on the base, wherein when the bubbles or raised portions are pressed down onto the first perforation cut, the first perforation cut is broken to separate the lid from the base, and wherein the bubbles or raised portions are deformed when they are depressed to provide a visual indication that the container has been opened.

A container includes a box member and a lid. The box member has a first extending member, and the lid has a second extending member. The first extending member is connected to the second extending member initially, and a breaking portion is formed between the first extending member and the second extending member to disconnect the first extending member and the second extending member when the breaking portion is broken. The second extending member is above the first extending member when the lid is connected to the box member, and the first extending member has at least a portion uncovered by the second extending member.

A vacuum storage container includes a container body and a lid with a silicone ring operably positioned therebetween. A cavity is disposed in the lid, the cavity being sized and shaped to receive a vacuum device therein. A central through hole is provided in the cavity which enables air to enter and exit the container body. A silicone sealing plug is set inside the central through hole. The sealing plug body runs through the central through hole, an upper end of the lid is connected to the sealing plug top, and a lower end of the lid is connected to the sealing plug bottom. When the vacuum device is in operation, the silicone sealing plug is moved to the open state, so that air inside the vacuum storage container passes through first and second circumferential clearances, and between the lower end of the sealing plug top and the upper end of the lid, to discharge out of the vacuum storage container.

A configurable storage container system for storing items includes a tote, an insulated shell with a lid, and an insulated divider configured to divide the internal cavity of the tote into two sections. The insulated shell is configured for receiving the tote. The insulated shell includes a base and a plurality of side walls and is foldable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration such that the tote fits inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration. The lid is configured for closing the tote inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration.
