A container includes a base and a cover which is snapped to the base. The cover includes at least one recess defined in lateral face thereof. The base includes a peripheral wall which has a reception area. The reception area includes a stop wall that extends from the peripheral wall, and a snapping member extends from the reception area and includes a protrusion. The at least one recess includes a wide top opening and a narrow bottom. The protrusion is shaped to be engaged with the at least one recess to connect the cover to the base. The base includes stop wall which reinforces the base strength to avoid from being deformed.

A container lid is configured such that repeated movement of a grip piece and a connecting piece of the lid will not break the connecting piece so that the lid can be removed easily. An extension section extends upwardly from an upper end of the connecting section along an inner peripheral surface of a skirt wall of the lid. When the container lid is on the mouth-neck section of a container, an upper end part of the extension section is sandwiched between an inner peripheral surface of the lid skirt wall and an outer peripheral surface of a locking projection on the container mouth-neck section.

A double-wall vacuum-insulated food container with complementary lid is disclosed. The body of the container has a base and an upwardly-extending side wall terminating in an upper free edge. The container also has an inner portion and a complementary outer portion with a gap between. The interior of the container defines a plurality of independently sealed compartments. The lid sealingly fits onto the upper free edge of the container. The lid includes a central member and a surrounding frame with a sealing ring. The sealing ring serves as an interface between a lower peripheral edge of the frame and the upper free edge of the container. The frame has fastening members which complementary features disposed about the upper free edge of the container.

A produce container including a receptacle and a lid. A mouth is circumscribed by a rim with a first bearing surface substantially parallel to a receptacle base. A first outer wall portion of the rim is folded back on and substantially perpendicular to the base. One or more first locking formations is carried on the first outer wall portion. The lid can close off the mouth and is circumscribed by a skirt with a second bearing surface substantially parallel to the base when the lid is closed. The skirt has a first inner wall portion substantially perpendicular to the base when the lid is closed. The skirt has one or more second locking formations carried on the first inner wall portion of the lid. Each second locking formation is complementary to a first locking formation. The rim includes one or more chamfered portions above the first locking formation inclined to the first bearing surface and the first outer wall portion.

A container with a tamper-evident closing system is disclosed. A linker may connect a bottom lip extending from a storage area of the container and a top lip extending from the lid. A perforated region positioned between the linker and the bottom lip is severed upon application of pressure by a user's hand so as to open the tamper-evident closing system. The linker may include a tab that extends down from the linker when the container is in the closed position and is moved up by the user so as to first open the container. The lower lip may include a cutout region and designed to receive a finger of the user when in the closed position. The container may also include a scoring positioned between the linker and the top lip, and this scoring may facilitate bending of the linker in a vertical position.

Lids for cups. In preferred embodiments, lids which are installable on cups which provide hybrid functionalities. In still more preferred embodiments, hybrid drinking cup lids for installation on a cup which are structurally configured to include a drink through portion and a straw receiving portion; the drink through portion and the straw receiving portion being alternately useable for optionally drinking without a straw or for optionally drinking with a straw. In the most preferred embodiments the straw receiving portion is configured and located to reduce mechanical wear on inserted straws, such as paper straws, during use.

A container that has a paper, paperboard, or cardboard base receptacle and a plastic lid joined to the base receptacle by selectively releasable connection elements is provided. The base receptacle has a bottom wall and a lateral wall having an upper edge. The plastic lid has a lower frame resting on the upper edge and delimiting an opening for accessing an inside of the container, and an upper element configured to selectively close/open the opening. The selectively releasable connection elements are accessible only from the inside of the container.
