One piece container and lid

A one piece container comprising:

• a body defining a receptacle, the body includes an upper end, a base at a lower end opposite to the upper end, and a rimless upper surface at the upper end defining an opening of the receptacle, the rimless upper surface including a first portion, a second portion, and a sloped portion between the first and second portions, the first portion is further from the base than the second portion such that the first portion is higher than the second portion;
• a lid connected to the body with a living hinge that is integral with both the body and the lid;
• and
• an annular flange of the lid extending from an inner surface of the lid, the annular flange including an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, the outer surface is curved along a length of the outer surface;
• wherein:
• the lid is movable between an open position thereby permitting access to the receptacle, and a closed position thereby restricting access to the receptacle;
• in the closed position the flange of the lid extends into the receptacle and the curved outer surface contacts an inner surface of the body to form a seal therebetween;
• and
• the body, living hinge, and lid are injection molded together as a single, integral piece such that the one piece container is formed injection molded as a single unit.

A one piece container comprising:

• a body including a rimless first end, a second end opposite to the rimless first end, and a sidewall extending between the rimless first end and the second end, the rimless first end defining an opening to a receptacle defined by the body, the rimless first end includes a first portion, a second portion, and a sloped portion extending between the first and second portions, the second portion is closer to a base of the container as compared to the first portion;
• a localized snap bead extending outward from the body and spaced apart from the rimless first end of the body;
• a lid connected to the body with a living hinge extending from the second portion of the rimless first end of the body, the living hinge arranged 180° relative to the localized snap bead, the living hinge is integral with both the body and the lid;
• an annular flange of the lid extending from an inner surface of the lid, the annular flange including an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface of the annular flange, the outer surface is curved along a length of the outer surface;
• and
• a tab extending from the lid, the tab arranged 180° relative to the living hinge and extending in a plane nonorthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the annular flange;
• wherein:
• the lid is movable between an open position thereby permitting access to the receptacle, and a closed position thereby restricting access to the receptacle;
• in the closed position the flange of the lid extends into the receptacle and the curved outer surface contacts an inner surface of the body to form a seal therebetween;
• and
• the body, living hinge, and lid are injection molded together as a single, integral piece such that the one piece container is formed as a single unit.
