Low opacity thermoformed container having longitudinal seam

A container comprising:

• an open end;
• a closed end opposing said open end;
• a container wall extending longitudinally between said closed end and said open end about a longitudinal axis;
• an end seam extending at least partially across said closed end;
• and
• a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from said end seam, a portion of said overlapping seam extending longitudinally along said container wall from said closed end to said open end;
• wherein said open end is narrower than at least a portion of said container away from said open end of said container;
• wherein a common one-piece thermoplastic substrate forms both said closed end and said container wall;
• wherein said container has a height extending between said closed end and said open end;
• wherein at a position along said overlapping seam said container wall has an overlap magnitude;
• wherein at a location that is five times the overlap magnitude away from said overlapping seam and at the same height as said position, said container wall has a container wall Opacity less than 50%;
• and
• wherein at said position said overlapping seam has a seam Opacity that is less than 200% of said container wall Opacity.
