ABSTRACT:
A reclosable container assembly includes a container having a container sidewall extending to an open end with a laterally extending flange formed at said open end and extending outwardly from said container sidewall. A container locking lip extends from said laterally extending flange away from said open end in spaced relation to said sidewall, and the locking lip includes an outer seating surface which extends from the laterally extending flange and angles inwardly toward the container sidewall. A plurality of spaced support ribs extend between the container sidewall and the locking lip, and a closure member is provided having a skirt which engages the locking lip to attach the closure member to the container. The closure member includes a top wall with the skirt extending outwardly from the periphery of the top wall. The top wall and skirt are formed such that the closure member does not contact the sidewall of the container when the closure member is attached to the container, and the skirt has an inner surface which engages the outer seating surface of said locking lip and which extends from the top wall and angles inwardly therefrom.
