A packaging, in particular for foodstuffs, including a tray (1) made of cardboard or paperboard and a lid (51), which, when the packaging is in the closed state, is fitted on the tray, wherein lugs (57) of the lid (51) engage in openings (7) which are formed in wall portions (8) of at least two opposite side walls (2, 4) of the tray. The side walls of the tray which have the openings have, in each case in the region above the wall portion which has the at least one opening, a freely upwardly projecting tongue (9), which is connected via a bending line (10) to the wall portion which has the at least one opening, and is located beneath the tongue. In the fitted state of the lid, the tongues of the side walls butt against sloping portions (59) of the lid.

A closure for a container is described where the container has an open end and a closed end, the closure engaging the open end of the container, wherein the closure comprises: a collar engaging the container; a lid connected to the collar by at least one hinge; wherein to facilitate engagement the collar extends over and surrounds the open end of the container such that an inner surface impinges on, or is immediately adjacent to, an outer surface of the open end of the container; wherein a plurality of beads extend outwardly from the inner surface of the collar to fixedly hold the collar in engagement with the container, wherein said beads are located substantially uniformly relative to each other and occupy less than 50% of the inner surface of the collar.

A toy container is for accommodating a toy and is made of paper containing a predetermined amount of pulp. Accordingly, the toy container can be an earth-environment friendly product as compared to conventional plastic products that are not naturally decomposable.

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 container for the shipment and display of a food product includes a four-sided, collapsible, corrugated plastic sleeve that is selectively enclosed by a pair of opposing plastic trays. Each tray includes inner and outer flanges which are formed along the periphery of a planar plate in a spaced apart relationship and together define a continuous groove dimensioned to receive an open end of the sleeve. The inner flange includes a tapered interior surface which widens the groove towards its distal end to facilitate the process of aligning and inserting an open end of the sleeve therein. A series of projections, each semicircular in lateral cross-section, are formed onto the outer flange and are dimensioned to fittingly protrude through corresponding slots formed in the sleeve to retain the container in its assembled state during the process of packaging and transporting the designated product.

A container having a pair of side walls and end walls and corner walls being provided between a respective end wall and side wall, a flange formed on one of the corner walls, said flange functioning as a hinge, a ring member formed integrally with the flange, the ring being sized to sit on top of the container.

A container includes a base, and a jacket adjoining the base and having a peripheral flange which defines an opening cross section which can be closed by a cover. The cover includes first snap-fit hooks distributed about a periphery of the cover for engagement in complementing first latching openings in the peripheral flange to thereby establish a form fit that prevents a movement away from the base and parallel to a vertical axis of the container in perpendicular relation to the base. The peripheral flange has four corner regions, each provided with a second latching opening for engagement of a second snap-fit hook of the cover. The second latching opening has at least one portion configured curved or inclined in relation to both a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis of the container, or has at least two straight portions extending at an inclination in relation to one another.

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.
