Packaging comprising, on the one hand, a plastic container having lateral walls, a top opening and a bottom, and, on the other hand, a removable plastic lid that is configured to cover the top opening in the container, wherein the container is provided, at its top opening, with a first engagement portion bearing and outward-directed rim that extends around the periphery, the lid being provided, on its peripheral part, with a second engagement portion that is folded downward and has an inward-directed rim which is able to latch underneath the outward-directed rim of the container, and wherein the second engagement portion of the lid has a skirt with foldable skirt section, the free end of which catches in a reception portion of the container.
A packaging comprising a plastic container having lateral walls meeting at corners, a top opening and a bottom, and a removable plastic lid that is configured to cover the top opening of the container, and wherein the container is provided, at its top opening, with a first engagement portion bearing an outward-directed rim that extends around a periphery, the lid being provided, on a peripheral part, with a second engagement portion that is folded downward and has an inward-directed rim which is able to latch underneath the outward-directed rim of the container, and wherein the second engagement portion of the lid has a skirt extending over a lower part of the second engagement portion, and wherein the outward-directed rim of the container and the inward-directed rim of the lid having curved corner sections in the corners where said lateral walls meet, said curved corner sections connecting lateral sections of the outward directed rim and inward directed rims, where at least one of the curved corner sections of the inward-directed rim is provided with a foldable skirt section, articulated in a folding area at an upper part of the second engagement portion which is able to be folded from an engagement position to an outward-directed position in such a way that a central part of said at least one corner section of the inward-directed rim is separated by a levering effect of the outward-directed rim of the top opening, and that the engagement between the rims is thus weakened over the central part, wherein the container comprises, at the foldable skirt section of the lid, a reception portion forming a shield for a free end of the foldable skirt section, with a receptacle receiving said free end in the engagement position of the foldable skirt section, said reception portion being configured to prevent the folding of said foldable skirt section to said outward-directed position, and wherein said reception portion is configured to be deformed in order to release the free end and authorize the pivoting of the foldable skirt section from the engagement position to said outward-directed position.
