Abstract
An improved one-piece reusable container is formed from transparent plastic. The lid of the container is clear and transparent with no distortion for easy viewing of the contents. The sides of the container chamber are slanted inward to allow nesting of the containers during shipping. The container is semi-rigid with good structural integrity; and will not deform during normal handling and usage. The container has a latch to insure that it will not open during shipping and display, but will only open when the lid and chamber are pulled apart in a predetermined manner.
