Abstract
The present disclosure provides components of packaging that is adapted for storing a product including a container having a body and a cover. The body and the cover define an internal storage compartment adapted for storage of a product. The body is configured to interact with the cover so as to form a joint when engaged. A sealing member is configured to substantially cover the joint, wherein the material of the sealing member is continuous and uninterrupted, thus limiting moisture loss from a product within the internal storage compartment. The sealing member is further configured to tear in a direction that is substantially parallel to the joint of the container.
