Flip-top container with tooth-shaped side perforations

A method of producing a container, the container comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, two side panels, a rear panel, and a top panel wherein:

• the front panel and the two side panels each comprises a perforation line;
• the perforation lines in the side panels extend from the rear panel to the front panel, and the perforation line in the front panel extends between and connects the perforation lines in each of the side panels;
• a lid comprises the top panel and upper sections of the front panel and of the side panels, respectively, above the perforation lines, the lid configured to be, after the perforation lines have been broken, rotationally moveable around a folding line in the rear panel between a closing position where the lid closes the container, and an open position where an open end of the container is not covered by the lid, wherein the folding line comprises a row of discontinuous perforations extending along the folding line;
• the perforation line in the front panel is a row of perforations arranged along a line or a curve, the line or curve forms an edge of the lid after the perforations have been broken;
• each of the perforation lines in the side panels is a row of perforations each comprising two coherent first and second cuts with a blunt angle therebetween, the row of perforations being arranged to provide a row of tooth-shaped regions, each tooth-shaped region is delimited by a first cut and a second cut, respectively, from two mutually adjacent but non-coherent perforations and each tooth shaped region is positioned such that a narrowest end of each tooth shaped region is directed towards the rear panel;
• and
• the first cuts are arranged parallel to each other but staggered so that they are not arranged along one line, the method comprising:
• folding the panels from one piece of material or joining separate sheets of material.

A method for storing of a food product, the method comprising placing food in a container comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, two side panels, a rear panel, and a top panel wherein:

• the front panel and the two side panels each comprises a perforation line;
• the perforation lines in the side panels extend from the rear panel to the front panel, and the perforation line in the front panel extends between and connects the two perforation lines in each of the side panels;
• a lid comprises the top panel and upper sections of the front panel and of the side panels, respectively, above the perforation lines, the lid configured to be, after the perforation lines have been broken, rotationally moveable around a folding line in the rear panel between a closing position where the lid closes the container, and an open position where an open end of the container is not covered by the lid, wherein the folding line comprises a row of discontinuous perforations extending along the folding line;
• the perforation line in the front panel is a row of perforations arranged along a line or curve, the line or curve forms an edge of the lid after the perforations have been broken;
