A tamper evident container comprising:

• a base to retain items for storage, the base including:
• a bottom wall,
• first, second, third, and fourth side walls connected to the bottom wall and to one another to form a quadrilateral shape,
• a platform connected to upper edges of each of the side walls and extending outward therefrom,
• a first outer ridge positioned on the platform adjacent to the second side wall and protruding upward therefrom, and
• a second outer ridge positioned on the platform adjacent to the fourth side wall protruding upward therefrom;
• a lid to engage with and cover the base, the lid including:
• a top wall, and
• an inner ridge having a quadrilateral shape and positioned on a lower surface of the top wall, the inner ridge being sized such that an outer edge of the inner ridge sits within, and in contact with, an upper inner surface of the side walls of the base when the lid is closed;
• a first hinge to rotatably couple the base and the lid;
• a locking mechanism to secure the lid to the base, the locking mechanism including a plug and a receptacle, the locking mechanism being engaged when the plug is within the receptacle, the plug and the receptacle each including side walls that are tapered inward to prevent removal of the plug from the receptacle when the locking mechanism is engaged;
• a second hinge to rotatably couple the base and the plug;
• and
• a tamper evidence feature to provide evidence of the container being tampered with or opened, the tamper evidence feature positioned between the plug and the second hinge.
