ABSTRACT:
Provided is a structure of an air-tight reclosable processed food container in which a lid can be easily opened, can be reclosed for maintaining a remaining food, and can be checked by the user whether it has been opened or not prior to purchasing the food. The air-tight reclosable processed food container, an upper part of which is opened and includes a container body that forms a space with a bottom surface and an container wall and a lid coupled to the container body capable of being opened and closed. The container body includes a container flange formed to extend horizontally along an upper circumference of a container wall and a coupling groove is formed along an upper inner circumference of the container wall, a container leaf formed to extend downward from the container flange, and a container handle formed to extend horizontally from an arbitrary point of the container leaf. The processed food container can maintain a remaining food in a sealed state since it can be sealed air-tight by a coupling groove of the container body and the coupling unit of the lid. Also, a user can easily determine whether the lid has been opened or not prior to purchasing the food since the container handle and the lid handle are heat junctioned.
