A thermoformed packaging container includes a base section having a bottom surface and spaced apart inner and outer wall segments with a base rim therebetween. The outer wall segment has a deformable flange extending laterally and outwardly therefrom. A cover section includes a top surface, a cover rim, and a side wall portion, wherein cover section adapted to cover said base section when in a closed state. The packaging container includes a closure and release mechanism including an aperture formed within said outer wall segment of the base section, a projection extending inwardly from the side wall portion of the cover section operable to engage the aperture. The closure and release mechanism retains the cover section over the base section and securing the packaging container in a closed position. The projection is released from the aperture by depressing the deformable flange, thereby opening the thermoformed packaging container.

1. A thermoformed packaging container comprising: a base section having a bottom surface and spaced apart inner and outer wall segments with a base rim therebetween, said outer wall segment having a deformable flange extending laterally and outwardly therefrom;a cover section having a top surface, a cover rim, and a side wall portion, said cover section adapted to cover said base section when in a closed state; anda closure and release mechanism including a base sealing channel and a cover sealing channel adapted to form a container perimeter seal operable to seal the packaging container, said container perimeter seal extending around a perimeter of the packaging container, and at least one aperture formed within said outer wall segment of the base section, at least one projection extending inwardly from the side wall portion of the cover section operable to engage the at least one aperture, said closure and release mechanism is operable to retain the cover section over the base section and secure the packaging container in a closed position and wherein the at least one projection is released from the at least one aperture by depressing the deformable flange, thereby opening the thermoformed packaging container. 2. The packaging container of claim 1 further comprising at least one depression formed within the outer wall segment wherein said at least one aperture is formed within the at least one depression. 3. The packaging container of claim 2 further comprising at least one inwardly protruding section formed in the side wall portion of the cover section shaped to correspond with said at least one depression formed within the outer wall segment of the base section, wherein said at least one projection is formed within the at least one inwardly protruding section. 4. The packaging container of claim 1 further comprising a peripheral flange extending laterally from the side wall portion of the cover section, said peripheral flange adapted to contact said laterally extending deformable flange of said base section when the packaging container is in a closed position, said peripheral flange having a cut out section to provide access for depressing the deformable flange of the base section for opening the packaging container. 5. The packaging container of claim 1 wherein the at least one projection formed in the cover section is a post having an angled edge operable to facilitate the closure of the packaging container. 6. The packaging container of claim 1 wherein the base section and the cover section are separate components. 7. The packaging container of claim 1 wherein the base section and cover section are pivotally connected. 8. The packaging container of claim 1 wherein the base rim includes a base extension ledge extending therefrom on one side of the base section and the cover rim includes a cover extension ledge extending therefrom for contacting the base extension ledge such that the closure and release mechanism is spaced apart from the inner wall segment. 9. A closure and release mechanism for a thermoformed packaging container with a base section having a bottom surface and spaced apart inner and outer wall segments with a base rim therebetween, said outer wall segment having a deformable flange extending laterally and outwardly therefrom, and a cover section having a top surface, a cover rim, and a side wall portion, said cover section adapted to cover said base section when in a closed state, said closure and release mechanism comprising: a base sealing channel and a cover sealing channel adapted to form a container perimeter seal operable to seal the packaging container, said container perimeter seal extending around a perimeter of the packaging container, and at least one aperture formed within said outer wall segment of the base section, at least one projection extending inwardly from the side wall portion of the cover section operable to engage the at least one aperture, said closure and release mechanism is operable to retain the cover section over the base section and secure the packaging container in a closed position and wherein the at least one projection is released from the at least one aperture by depressing the deformable flange, thereby opening the thermoformed packaging container. 10. The closure and release mechanism of claim 9 further comprising at least one depression formed within the outer wall segment of the base section wherein said at least one aperture is formed within the at least one depression. 11. The closure and release mechanism of claim 10 further comprising at least one inwardly protruding section formed in the side wall portion of the cover section shaped to correspond with said at least one depression formed within the outer wall segment of the base section, wherein said at least one projection is formed within the at least one inwardly protruding section. 12. The closure and release mechanism of claim 9 further comprising a peripheral flange extending laterally from the side wall portion of the cover section, said peripheral flange adapted to contact said laterally extending flange of said base section when the packaging container is in a closed position, said peripheral flange having a cut out section to provide access for depressing the deformable flange of the base section for opening the packaging container. 13. The packaging container of claim 9 wherein the at least one projection formed in the cover section is a post having an angled edge for facilitating the closure of the packaging container. 14. A thermoformed packaging container comprising: a base section having a bottom surface and spaced apart inner and outer wall segments with a base rim therebetween, said outer wall segment having a deformable flange extending laterally and outwardly therefrom;a cover section having a top surface, a cover rim, and a side wall portion, said cover section adapted to cover said base section when in a closed state; anda closure and release mechanism including at least one aperture formed within said outer wall segment of the base section, at least one projection extending inwardly from the side wall portion of the cover section operable to engage the at least one aperture, said closure and release mechanism is operable to retain the cover section over the base section and secure the packaging container in a closed position and wherein the at least one projection is released from the at least one aperture by depressing the deformable flange, thereby opening the thermoformed packaging container; andwherein said closure and release mechanism further comprises at least one depression formed within the outer wall segment of the base section wherein said at least one aperture is formed within the at least one depression and at least one inwardly protruding section formed in the side wall portion of the cover section shaped to correspond with said at least one depression formed within the outer wall segment of the base section, wherein said at least one projection is formed within the at least one inwardly protruding section. 15. The packaging container of claim 14 further comprising a peripheral flange extending laterally from the side wall portion of the cover section, said peripheral flange adapted to contact said laterally extending flange of said base section when the packaging container is in a closed position, said peripheral flange having a cut out section to provide access for depressing the deformable flange of the base section for opening the packaging container. 16. The packaging container of claim 14 wherein the at least one projection formed in the cover section is a post having an angled edge operable to facilitate the closure of the packaging container. 17.
