Claims29
A container for holding contents, comprising:
- a shell having a peripheral rim defining a substantially open top;
- a lid including a peripheral portion that surrounds an access portion, wherein the lid is positioned on the shell, covering the substantially open top, and the peripheral portion surrounds the peripheral rim, and wherein the lid has a retaining feature which bites into an outer surface of the shell to resist removal of the lid from the shell;
- and
- a liner disposed within the shell and having a liner periphery with a flange portion extending outwardly and a return portion extending downwardly from the flange portion with the flange portion and the return portion extending around the peripheral rim of the shell, and the lid forming a continuous seal between the liner and the lid.

A container for holding contents, comprising:
- a shell having a peripheral rim defining a substantially open top;
- a liner disposed within the shell, and having a periphery with a flange portion extending outwardly over the peripheral rim of the shell, the liner being sufficiently flexible to conform to the shape of the shell in response to receiving contents that press outward on the liner;
- and
- a lid including a peripheral portion attached to the liner and a removable access portion that provides access to the interior of the liner, wherein the lid is positioned on the shell covering the substantially open top—and is directly engaged to the shell thereby resisting removal of the lid from the shell, with the lid forming a substantially continuous seal between the liner and the lid.
