Abstract
A stackable container includes a circular base. A body portion extends upward from the circular base. A rim section has an opening, wherein the body portion extends between the circular base and the rim section to define a container volume. The rim section includes an outwardly extending spout that is defined within an upper edge, and a ramp section that defines a linear portion of the upper edge. The linear portion of the ramp section defines a transitional interface where material on a substrate can be transported into the container volume via the ramp section resting on the substrate.

A stackable container comprising:
- a circular base;
- a body portion that extends upward from the circular base;
- a rim section having an opening, wherein the body portion extends between the circular base and the rim section to define a container volume, the rim section comprising:
- an outwardly extending spout defined within an upper edge;
- and
- a ramp section defining a linear portion of the upper edge, wherein the linear portion of the ramp section defines a transitional interface where material on a substrate can be transported into the container volume via the ramp section resting on the substrate.
A stackable container comprising:
- a circular base;
- a body portion that extends upward from the circular base;
- and
- a rim section having an upper edge, wherein the body portion extends between the circular base and the upper edge to define a container volume, wherein the rim section includes a circular portion and a ramp section that extends outward from the circular portion to define a linear portion of the upper edge, wherein the linear portion of the ramp section defines a transitional interface where material on a substrate can be transported into the container volume via the ramp section resting on the substrate.
A stackable container comprising:
- a circular base;
- a body portion that extends upward from the circular base;
- a rim section having an opening, wherein the body portion extends between the circular base and the rim section to define a container volume, the rim section including an outwardly extending spout defined within an upper edge, and a ramp section defining a linear portion of the upper edge;
- a lid that engages the upper edge of the rim section, wherein,
- the lid includes a spout portion that selectively engages and covers the outwardly extending spout and the ramp section;
- the upper edge of the rim section includes a planar upper surface that extends continuously through the outwardly extending spout and the ramp section;
- and
- the linear portion of the ramp section defines a transitional interface where material on a substrate can be transported into the container volume via the ramp section resting on the substrate.
