Abstract (en)

A tamper evident packaging container (9), particularly suitable for retail sale of food ingredients comprises a tubular body e.g. of paperboard (8) having a lower end closed by a base and an upper end defining a mouth through which product may be removed from the container. A lid (5) which is a push-fit with the upper end of the container is provided for closing the mouth. The body (8) exhibits, in the region of the mouth, an external bulge for retaining a tamper evident shrink sleeve (11) which must be destroyed to remove the lid from the body. The bulge is formed by an inward curled bead (10) formed from the material of the body. <IMAGE>
