Fracturable container

A container comprising:

• a body having a cavity for containing one or more contents;
• a flange arranged about a perimeter of the body;
• a cover affixed to the flange for enclosing the contents within the cavity;
• and
• a fracturable portion including a bend extending across a side of the body from a first flange portion to a second flange portion, the fracturable portion bisecting the body into a first body portion on one side of the bend and a second body portion on the other side of the bend,
• wherein the bend has a depth which defines a break path along which the body is adapted to fracture when a user applies a force exceeding a predetermined level to each of the first and second body portions on either side of the bend, the bend having a plurality of spaced a part fracture conductors including a localised change of depth of the bend such that the depth of the bend is increased or reduced compared to the depth of the bend where no fracture conductor is present, each of said plurality of fracture conductors not extending outwardly beyond a plane defined by surfaces of the first and second body portions on either side adjacent to the bend,
• wherein a fracture point will initiate a fracture on the break path and the fracture can propagate from the fracture point in opposing directions along the break path toward each of a pair of termini with one termini at each of the first and second flange portions, and
• wherein the fracture conductors have a localised increase in rigidity of the fracturable portion such that the fracture conductors aid in guiding propagation of the fracture along the break path when the body is bent causing the first and second side portion to separate.
