Container and process of making the same

A tamper-evident container for housing at least one product, said container comprising:

• a support of sheet material defining an internal volume configured for housing at least one product, said support comprising:
• at least one base;
• at least one lateral wall emerging from the base and delimiting, in cooperation with the latter, the internal volume, wherein said at least one lateral wall defines, opposite the base, an outer edge;
• at least one abutment flap emerging from at least one section of the outer edge and at least partly facing the base, wherein said at least one abutment flap at least partly delimits a passage opening configured for placing in communication the internal volume with the external environment;
• at least one closure system, also of sheet material, movable with respect to the support at least between:
• a closed condition of the container in which the closure system is configured for preventing the communication between the internal volume of the support and the external environment;
• and
• an open condition of the container in which the closure system is configured for allowing the communication between the internal volume and the external environment;
• at least one first coupling portion carried by the closure system;
• at least one second coupling portion defined on the at least one abutment flap, wherein said second coupling portion comprises at least one through pocket at least partly delimited by at least one undercut portion,
• wherein, at least during a first closed condition of the container, the first coupling portion is movable at least between:
• a first operating position in which the first coupling portion is disengaged from the second coupling portion;
• and
• a second operating position in which at least part of the first coupling portion passes through the through pocket and is arranged in the internal volume, engaging the undercut portion;
• wherein the first and second coupling portions, in the second operating position of the first coupling portion, are configured for defining a locking condition in which said first and second coupling portions are stably engaged with each other to oppose the passage of the closure system from the closed condition to the open one,
• wherein said first coupling portion comprises:
• at least one central body;
• at least one tab emerging from the central body and which is, at least in the first operating position of the first coupling portion, at least partly facing the undercut portion of the second coupling portion, wherein said at least one tab, at least during the passage of the first coupling portion from the first to the second operating position, is configured for being folded with respect to the central body to allow the passage of the at least one tab itself and of at least one part of the central body through the through pocket, wherein said at least one tab, in the second operating position of the first coupling portion, is stably engaged with the undercut portion defining the locking condition,
• wherein at least one part of the first coupling portion defines a removable portion configured for being separated from the closure system during a first open condition of the container following the locking condition to provide evidence of a tampering of the container,
• wherein the closure system has a through seat delimited by a perimeter edge with a closed profile;
• wherein the removable portion is engaged with at least one section of the perimeter edge of the through seat by way of the at least one weakening portion, and wherein said removable portion, at least in the first operating position, is arranged within said through seat.
