A tamper-evident rigid plastic food container system wherein the outer periphery of the mating surfaces of the lid and tray are permanently bonded together after the food product has been placed in the tray, a set of perforated rows at an inner periphery, the interconnect of which needs to be torn in order to open the lid. Intentional, inadvertent, or malicious ingress into the container can only be made by tearing at the perforations and thereby evidencing the potential tampering and contamination of the packaging contents. The lid and tray edges may further include mechanical interference fits, including snap-fit grips that may be of the releasably lockable kind to permit sealing, release, and re-sealing multiple times without deterioration in reliability, and which can further prevent or minimize leakage of liquid food product.

1. A container comprising: a lid having: a horizontally-extending lid flange along at least one edge,a first line of weakness in the lid flange adjacent a permanent bond,a second line of weakness in the lid flange, anda lift tab disposed proximate an end of each of the first line of weakness and the second line of weakness and opposite a hinge;a tray having a horizontally-extending tray flange along the at least one edge;the hinge coupling the lid to the tray, the lid flange aligned with the tray flange when in a closed position;an interlocking joint formed by a raised interlocking portion of the lid extending upwardly directly from the lid flange and a complementary interlocking portion of the tray extending upwardly directly from the tray flange; andthe permanent bond joining the lid flange to the tray flange along at least one region. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid and the tray are a one-piece construction. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid and the tray are joined along the region by a radiation light-based adhesive bond. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein the radiation light-based adhesive bond includes an adhesive material cured by ultra-violet light. 5. The container of claim 3, wherein the radiation light-based curing bond includes an adhesive material cured by infrared light. 6. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid and the tray are joined along the region by an ultrasonic weld. 7. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid and the tray are joined along the region by a radio frequency weld. 8. The container of claim 1, wherein the material of the lid and the tray is polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyactide, polyvinyl chloride, or other rigid polymers. 9. The container of claim 1, wherein the container is stackable. 10. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid is constructed using a process taking from a group consisting of thermoforming, injection molding, transfer molding, and blow molding. 11. The container of claim 1, wherein the tray is constructed using a process taking from a group consisting of thermoforming, injection molding, transfer molding, and blow molding. 12. The container of claim 1, wherein the interlocking joint is on the opposite side of the line of weakness from the permanent bond. 13. The container of claim 1, wherein the interlocking portion of the lid is a raised channel. 14. The container of claim 13, wherein the raised channel has a base that lies in a plane different from the lid flange. 15. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid flange is planar. 16. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid flange extends horizontally outward from the container. 17. The container of claim 1, wherein the lid flange lies below a top of the raised interlocking portion of the lid. 18. The container of claim 1, wherein the raised interlocking portion of the lid is raised in a first direction, and the lid flange extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. 19. The container of claim 1, wherein the tray flange is free of score lines.
