Abstract (en)
The invention to which this application relates is a container including a base (4) and a lid (6) for containing an item therein. The container is typically provided in a closed format for retail purposes for purchase and, when it is required to remove at least a portion of the item from the container, the lid is moved to an open position. When the container is in a closed position, part of a label (14), which is in contact with the lid and base passes the lid and body and is positioned over tabs to be gripped to move the lid and body apart. This therefore means that the lid cannot be opened by moving the same from the base without first tearing the label or removing the label from one of the lid or base. In any case, the provision of the label overlying at least one of the tabs prevents the removal of the lid without altering the condition of the label and hence renders the container tamper-evident.
