ABSTRACT:
A plastic container defines a sidewall closed at one end and open at the other end. A container lip is defined at the other end which comprises a pair of spaced walls surrounding the longitudinal axis of the container, to define a recess between the walls for receiving and locking a peripheral container lid portion on the container. The outer of the pair of walls defines at least one pair of spaced points of tearing weakness to permit breaking of the outer wall and outward folding of that part of the outer wall positioned between the points of tearing weakness, to provide access to the peripheral lid portion for lid removal. The container may be designed so that the lid cannot be removed without the breaking of the points of tearing weakness, to provide tamper indication to the container and lid.
