ABSTRACT:
A lid for an airtight container has a rim part for sealing to the container and plural locking flap handles extending from the rim part and rotating between open and locked positions. Each handle has a locking protrusion for locking to the container in its locked position, and a film hinge with an outer surface that smoothly curves continuously into an upper surface of the rim part of the lid, in the open position of the handle. The film hinge has an elastic hinge part that extends by a predetermined length to disperse an impact generated when the handle is locked to the container and the elastic hinge part is folded as the handle is moved from its open to its locked position.
