A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged
A container (210) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates additional sealing features wherein the gasket (330) projects inwardly from the collar (300) into an interior space (H, I) of the container (210) to be biased against the sealing flange (284). The sealing wall includes modifications that funnel powder into the interior space (H,I) of the receptacle (280).

1. A sealable container, comprising: walls defining interior and exterior surfaces and an interior space, the walls having an upper portion near an upper end of the walls that defines a sealing flange, the sealing flange having an internal edge that defines an opening to the interior space;a collar having an interior surface adapted to fit around the container near the upper portion and defining a subcollar space between the exterior surface of the container and the interior surface of the collar;a removable lid attached to the collar and having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening, the lid having a sealing wall depending from its surface and projecting toward the sealing flange and being dimensioned to remain inward of the sealing flange when in the closed position; anda flexible gasket having a molding flash prevention pad, a free end and a fixed end, the free end dimensioned to removably rest against the sealing flange and the fixed end carried from the interior surface of the collar;wherein the molding flash prevention pad protrudes from the interior surface of the collar and is positioned between the fixed end of the flexible gasket and the free end of the flexible gasket;wherein when the lid is in the closed position, the gasket, the sealing wall and the sealing flange are dimensioned whereby the sealing wall biases the flexible gasket against the internal edge of the sealing flange to seal the subcollar space from the container interior. 2. The sealable container according to claim 1, wherein the flexible gasket is arranged to remain biased against the sealing flange when the lid is in an open position. 3. The sealable container according to claim 1, wherein the flexible gasket extends from a raised seat to an internal edge extending inwardly beyond the internal edge of the sealing flange. 4. The sealable container according to claim 2, wherein the flexible gasket flexes to enable removal of a removable seal and thereafter flexes back to rest against the sealing flange. 5. The sealable container according to claim 1, wherein the lid is hingedly connected to the collar to move between open and closed positions. 6. The sealable container according to claim 1, wherein the walls are arranged to form the container to have an approximately cuboid shape. 7. The sealable container according to claim 1, further comprising: a scoop holder attached to the interior surface of the lid for holding a removable scoop having a bowl carried from a handle, the scoop holder formed with a first bowl cover bracket and having a retainer to immobilize the handle and a first projection extending from the interior surface having a handle holding notch to hold the handle away from the interior surface in a grasping position. 8. The sealable container according to claim 1, wherein the molding flash prevention pad is a gasket deflection shape memory retainer. 9. A sealable container, comprising: walls defining interior and exterior surfaces and an interior space, the walls having an upper portion near an upper end of the walls that defines a sealing flange, the sealing flange having an internal edge that defines an opening to the interior space;a collar having an interior surface adapted to fit around the container near the upper portion and defining a subcollar space between the exterior surface of the container and the interior surface of the collar;a removable lid attached to the collar and having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening, the lid having a sealing wall depending from its surface and projecting toward the sealing flange and being dimensioned to remain inward of the sealing flange when in the closed position; anda flexible gasket having a mold flow management boss, a free end dimensioned to removably rest against the sealing flange and a fixed end carried from a surface of a group that includes (a) the interior surface of the collar, (b) the interior surface of the walls, and (c) the sealing wall of the lid;wherein the mold flow management boss protrudes from the surface of a group that includes (a) the interior surface of the collar, (b) the interior surface of the walls, and (c) the sealing wall of the lid;wherein when the lid is in the closed position, the gasket, the sealing wall and the sealing flange are dimensioned such that the sealing wall biases the flexible gasket against the internal edge of the sealing flange to seal the subcollar space from the container interior. 10. The sealable container according to claim 9, wherein the mold flow management boss is a circumferential shape memory retainer.
