A reclosable container formed from thin, flexible thermoformed plastic material. The container has a base and a domed lid joined together by an integral hinge. The relatively flexible container base is stiffened and made rigid only when the lid is inserted into the container base. The lid and the engaged base are strengthened by rims which are provided about the periphery of the lid. Portions of the lid are flared to engage the sides of the base. When the container is closed, the base and the flared portions of the lid provide an essentially non-protruding and smooth label bridge to which a label may be applied without creating a significant gap between the label and the closed container.

A reclosable container of thin flexible thermoformed plastic materials, comprising: (a) a container base having a bottom portion; (b) base walls extending from the periphery of the base bottom portion in continuous joined relation upwardly to a rim portion (c) a container lid defining a substantial portion of the volume of the container and having a top wall portion; (d) lid walls extending from the periphery of the lid top portion in continuous joined relation; (e) a peripheral lid rim including first and second rim portions; (f) said first rim portion of the lid walls terminating in a generally U-shaped outward bend which overlaps an interior portion of said base walls adjacent said rim portion of the base walls when the container is closed, the first rim portion having outer walls which are shaped to closely conform to and be snugly received inside the base walls when the container is closed to strengthen the container; (g) said second lid rim portion interrupting the first lid rim portion said second lid rim portion being flared outwardly from the lid top wall portion and the lid first rim portion, the second lid rim portion terminating closer to the top wall portion of the lid than the first lid rim portion to substantially abut a portion of the base walls when the container is closed, the abutting portions of the lid walls and base walls cooperating to form a substantially continuous label bridge over which a label may be substantially smoothly applied and substantially continuously underlain and supported by the closed container; and (h) an integral hinge joining the base to the lid such that the container may be opened or closed in hinged relation.
