Tamper resistant container

A tamper evident container, comprising:

• a base having a substantially horizontal bottom joined at a perimeter thereof to a lower edge of at least one substantially vertical base wall, the base comprising a substantially horizontal base flange extending outwardly from an upper rim of the base;
• a lid that can be installed onto the base such that a seal is formed between the lid and the base, the lid being surrounded by a lid flange;
• and
• at least one attachment tab attached by a living hinge to a living hinge side of an upper edge of the base, the at least one attachment tab being attached to the same living hinge side of the upper edge of the base, the at least one attachment tab being incorporated into and substantially co-planar with the lid flange, and being bounded by frangible tab boundaries that permit the at least one attachment tab to be broken free of the lid, thereby freeing the lid from the base;
• the at least one attachment tab being coordinate with a corresponding pucker element, such that when the at least one attachment tab is broken free from the lid and the lid is subsequently re-installed on the base, the at least one attachment tab is caused by the pucker elements to extend upward away from the lid flange;
• wherein the at least one substantially vertical base wall includes a substantially horizontal shelf extending outward, the substantially horizontal shelf terminating in a substantially vertical, upwardly extending rim wall, said rim wall terminating in the outwardly extending, substantially horizontal base flange;
• wherein the lid comprises a plurality of protruding lid features that extend downward from the lid, wherein when the lid is installed on the base the protruding lid features extend downward along the rim wall of the base toward the substantially horizontal shelf of the base;
• and
• wherein gaps between the protruding lid features are provided in the regions of the at least one attachment tab so that the protruding lid features do not overlap the at least one attachment tab, and so that upon reattachment of the lid to the base, the container is ventilated due to openings in the lid resulting from the breaking free of the at least one attachment tab from the lid.
