Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a container adapted to securely engage a cover displaying a peripheral depending skirt; it comprises a body with side walls having an upper edge portion adapted to engage the skirt of the closure. The side walls include a peripheral inverted L-shaped flange. Integrally formed with the flange is a pair of handles each including a frangible tab which must be broken to remove the cover from the container; however, the broken tabs do not hinder the reclosure of the container, nor the handling of the container. The handles are so shaped as to allow similarly constructed containers to be nested one into the other.
