Abstract

A reclosable container formed from thin, flexible thermoformed plastic material. The container has a base and a domed lid joined together by an integral hinge. The relatively flexible container base is stiffened and made rigid only when the lid is inserted into the container base. The lid and the engaged base are strengthened by rims which are provided about the periphery of the lid. Portions of the lid are flared to engage the sides of the base. When the container is closed, the base and the flared portions of the lid provide an essentially non-protruding and smooth label bridge to which a label may be applied without creating a significant gap between the label and the closed container.
