Packaging comprising, on the one hand, a plastic container having lateral walls, a top opening and a bottom, and, on the other hand, a removable plastic lid that is configured to cover the top opening in the container, wherein the container is provided, at its top opening, with a first engagement portion bearing and outward-directed rim that extends around the periphery, the lid being provided, on its peripheral part, with a second engagement portion that is folded downward and has an inward-directed rim which is able to latch underneath the outward-directed rim of the container, and wherein the second engagement portion of the lid has a skirt with foldable skirt section, the free end of which catches in a reception portion of the container.

A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

A food storage system comprising a bottom receptacle, a plurality of stackable containers, a handle configured to extend over a topmost one of the plurality of stackable containers, and a fastening mechanism having a bottom end coupled to the bottom receptacle and a top end coupled to the top lid. A length of the fastening mechanism is adjustable so that a spacing between the bottom receptacle and the handle is adjustable.

Systems and methods for nesting product packaging with strainer inserts are provided. Product packaging systems may include, for example, a product container with a lid and with a strainer insert disposed within the container. In some embodiments, the strainer inserts may be snapped into place in a channel, groove, or other retention feature of the parent container, thus permitting coupling without the use of adhesives or fasteners. The strainer inserts, when coupled within the parent containers, may define a drainage volume in which product fluids may drain to maintain the product separately from the fluids, e.g., to prolong shelf-life of the product.

Provided is a utility connectivity system. More specifically the presently claimed subject matter is directed to connectivity systems associated with containers and utility units connectable to one another.

A container for storing liquids includes a top, a bottom, and a body. The top is a first recessed surface surrounded by a raised edge, the first recessed surface having a secondary recessed surface with a pull tab configured to engage a punchout opening to open the container. The bottom is a second recessed surface surrounded by a second raised edge, and the second raised edge configured to fit inside the first raised edge of the top. The body is a polygon with at least four sides extending vertically from the top to the bottom and at least the body is comprised of biobased polymer materials.

The present invention relates to a storage container comprising a base having a continuous side wall extending upwardly from a bottom wall and terminating at a top peripheral rim defining an upper opening. The container has a lid to open and close the upper opening, and the base of the container has a foot in the form of a rib on the underside of the bottom wall, in which the rib snap connects with a mating lid recess on an upper surface of the lid. In addition, the foot is profiled with a lead-in portion on the rib that is configured to guide the rest of the foot into the lid recess, and the foot is further profiled with a retaining portion on the rib that follows the lead-in portion to snap connect with the lid recess.
