The tamper evident container includes a base with a base hinge panel and a lid with a lid hinge panel. A hinge connects the panels. A frangible line extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel to a first point on the panel and then outwardly to the hinge. The frangible line crosses the hinge and extends inwardly to a second point on the base hinge panel. From the second point the frangible line extends to an edge of the base hinge panel. When the container is initially sealed, the frangible line separates upon the application of an upwardly directed force to a first portion of the lid hinge panel while a second portion of the lid hinge panel is held in a fixed position or moved downwardly. The separation of the frangible line creates two grasping portions that can be used to pull the lid from the base.

A tamper evident container includes a base with a base rim adjoining a base hinge panel and a lid with a lid rim adjoining a lid hinge panel. A hinge connects the panels.

A method of thermoforming a container includes forming a lid having a lid rim, and forming a base including a base rim. The method also includes forming a foldable section that joins the lid rim and the base rim and includes a lid hinge panel extending from the lid rim to a hinge and a base hinge panel extending from the base rim to the hinge. The method also includes forming a frangible line that extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel, across a portion of the lid hinge panel to a first point, from the first point across the lid hinge panel to the hinge, across the hinge, across the base hinge panel from the hinge to a second point on the base hinge panel, and from the second point across a portion of the base hinge panel to an outside edge of the base hinge panel.

A container system with an interlocking mechanism is disclosed. The containers of the system have interlocking components that securely interconnect the individual containers vertically, so that groupings of containers can be transported easily. The containers can be water tight and air tight. The container can be modular and form infinite combinations of stacked and interlocked groupings.

Provided are a food container which is formed to have a sealing moiety integrated with a lid or a container body and is not easily deformed when heated by a microwave oven or the like, so as to be capable of keeping a sealed state, and a method for manufacturing the food container. A food container 10 has a container body 11 having, in the upper surface thereof, an opening 111, and a lid 12 fittable to the container body 11 to close the opening 111. In the lid 12 or the container body 11, a sealing moiety 13 is located which makes the periphery of the opening 111 in a sealed state under a situation that the opening 111 is closed by the lid 12. The sealing moiety 13 includes an elastomer composition which includes a hydrogenated styrene based block copolymer A that has a weight-average molecular weight of 100,000 to 500,000, a softener B for rubber that has a weight-average molecular weight of 500 or more, and an olefin based resin C, and which has a hardness A of 5 to 70 both inclusive, and a compressive permanent strain (CS) of 60% or less at 100° C. over 24 hours. The sealing moiety is formed to be integrated with the lid or the container body, and the lid 12 or the container body 11 includes a polypropylene.

An anti-theft container has a body and at least one connecting and recognizing assembly. The body has a case and a lid mounted to the case. The at least one connecting and recognizing assembly is mounted to the body and has a connected portion and a linking portion. The connected portion is disposed on the case and has a limiting recess, a recognition element, and a tear line. The limiting recess is formed in the connected portion and has a limiting surface disposed obliquely. The limiting surface makes an upper space of the limiting recess smaller than a lower space of the limiting recess. The recognition element is disposed on a bottom of the connected portion. The tear line is located on a circumference of the recognition element. The linking portion is disposed on the lid, received in the limiting recess, and disposed against the recognition element.

A laundry detergent capsule containing a laundry detergent composition, the capsule including a capsule base (33) with one or more side walls (35) extending from the base to form a detergent composition cavity accommodating the laundry detergent composition (39), wherein the capsule includes a capsule lid (41) for sealing the detergent composition cavity and the capsule lid includes a flange (43) extending from a lid portion and abutting the side wall or side walls, The flange having 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 breaks or gaps arranged symmetrically around the circumference of the upper rim of the side wall or walls. a container containing a plurality of such capsules and use of such capsules to launder textiles.

A reclosable package for containing smoking papers to be dispensed therefrom, the package comprising: a body for holding the smoking papers; the body having a cover which overlays a surface of the body of the package for closure; wherein the cover opens to form a tray; and wherein the cover and/or body include a closure positioned to form a clasp when the cover is folded over the body.

A laundry detergent capsule containing a laundry detergent composition, the capsule including a capsule base (33) with one or more side walls (35) extending from the base to form a detergent composition cavity accommodating the laundry detergent composition (39), wherein the capsule includes a capsule lid (41) for sealing the detergent composition cavity and the capsule lid includes a flange (43) extending from a lid portion and abutting the side wall or side walls, The flange having 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 breaks or gaps arranged symmetrically around the circumference of the upper rim of the side wall or walls. a container containing a plurality of such capsules and use of such capsules to launder textiles.

A container for providing a waterproof interior includes a container body and a lid. The container body has an interior, an interior perimeter that defines an opening, and a top exterior surface. The lid is made up of an interior plate and an overmold of material that surrounds the interior plate. The overmold has a seal ring and an overhang for engaging the container body and forming a water tight seal therewith. The lid is removeably from the container body, but when the lid is engaged to the container body, the lid covers the opening such that the overhang is engaged to the top exterior surface and the seal ring is engaged to the interior perimeter.
