Claims9
A package, comprising:
- a container having a floor and a side wall that cooperate to form a product storage region;
- and
- a lid having a cover that is movable between a closed position in which the cover is at least partially blocking access to the product storage region, and an open position in which the cover is at least partially moved away from the closed position such that the product storage region is accessible by a user;
- wherein the container includes at least one pair of opposed depressible tabs that in a relaxed state are configured to retain the lid in a locked state, and in a compressed state are configured to allow the lid to move from the closed position to the open position;
- wherein the lid includes a pair of opposed apertures configured to align with the at least one pair of opposed tabs in the closed state and allow disengagement of the tabs when the tabs are in the compressed state such that the tabs disengage the pair of opposed apertures and allow movement of the lid from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- wherein the container includes a tray coupled to a container base, and wherein the tray includes the pair of opposed depressible tabs.
