Containers, container inserts and associated methods for making containers

A container comprising:

• a container body having a base, a sidewall extending therefrom, and a body extension portion extending from the sidewall, the body extension portion terminating at a body extension outer surface, the base and the sidewall defining an interior comprising a product space configured for housing at least one product, the body further having an opening leading to the interior;
• a lid that is connected to the container body by a hinge and that is pivotable about the hinge with respect to the container body to move the container between a closed position in which the lid covers the opening and an open position in which the opening is exposed, the lid comprising a cover portion configured to cover the opening when the container is in the closed position, the lid further comprising a lid extension portion extending from the cover portion and terminating at a lid extension outer surface, the lid extension portion having an underside configured for a user to apply upward pressure thereon when the container is in the closed position to move the container from the closed position to the open position;
• wherein the body extension outer surface and the lid extension outer surface are generally co-planar with each other when the container is in the closed position, and
• wherein the body extension portion has a window configured to provide access to the underside of the lid extension portion when the container is in the closed position to enable a user to apply upward pressure on the underside of the lid extension portion to move the container from the closed position to the open position.
