Abstract (en)
A polymeric container, particularly for paint, has a lid ring (18) in which a lid is fitted by a snap-fit or clipping action. The lid ring has at least one region (32, 34, 36) of relatively higher stiffness at which a de-lidding tool may be applied by means of a guide (50). The side walls (16) of the container are of relatively reduced material content. Buckling of the side walls is reduced by improved load transfer between successive containers in a stack. This is achieved by provision of a moulded annular stiffening zone (60) extending round at least a portion of the periphery of the bottom edge of the container and located within the interior angle between the bottom (62) and side (64) surfaces of the container, and providing a smooth annular internal surface (66) connecting the bottom and side walls, internally. The stiffening zone incorporates spaced generally wedge-shaped stiffening webs (76).
