ABSTRACT:
A container, suitable for receiving and shipping various products, includes a hollow body member and a removable cover positioned on an open upper end of the body member and has a tamper-evident seal device connecting the body member and the cover to evidence any premature removal of the cover. The seal device includes two sets of superimposed apertures extending through the body member and the cover, a closed sealing wire or member extending through the sets of apertures and around respective inside and outside portions of the body member and cover between the sets of apertures and being sealed to form a closed loop. A patch member is secured to the inside surface of the body member and covers the apertures to prevent contaminants from entering the container through the apertures and to strengthen the area of the body member having the apertures. The patch member preferably defines a guided passageway between the apertures so that the sealing wire may be inserted through one set of the apertures, guided through the passageway and passed out through the other set of the apertures.
