A hybrid container, comprising:

• an integrally formed base made from a paper material and having
• a bottom,
• opposing first sidewalls forming an upper peripheral rim, and
• at least two flaps each configured as a loop with a central opening and extending from a different one of the opposing first sidewalls and pivotable with respect to its first sidewall;
• and
• an integrally formed plastic lid dimensioned for positioning on the upper peripheral rim of the base and having
• an upper surface,
• opposing second sidewalls having a planar surface forming a first angle with the upper surface, and
• at least two receiving regions each formed on a different one of the opposing second sidewalls and having a rear planar surface formed, with respect to the upper surface of the lid, at a second angle larger than the first angle, each receiving region forming a seat dimensioned to engage with the central opening of one of the flaps to removably retain the flap completely within the receiving region, wherein the flaps are fully contained within the receiving regions when the flaps are retained by the seats.
