A vacuum formed, tamper resistant container resists deformation of the sides thereof that might otherwise permit access to contents of the container without removal of the lid. Downward protruding lid features reinforce the wall of the container base, and buttress features included in the rim of the base extend from a base flange diagonally downward and inward to the inner rim of a recessed shelf, thereby resisting downward rotation of the wall beneath the lid protruding features. In embodiments, attachment tabs surrounded by frangible boundaries are incorporated in the lid and attached to the base by living hinges, such that removal of the lid requires breaking of the frangible boundaries and detachment of the lid from the attachment tabs. Pucker elements associated with the attachment tabs can cause the attachment tabs to pivot away from the lid when the attachment tabs are detached from the lid.

Base for a food container

A system for marking a plastic article with a computer readable matrix barcode associated with input material used to form the plastic article is provided. The system includes a barcode applicator positioned downstream of an article forming operation. The barcode applicator is configured to provide a computer-readable matrix barcode on a surface of the plastic article. The system further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the barcode applicator. The controller has one or more processors configured to collectively: receive tracing information for one or more ingredients of the input material used to form the plastic article; generate the computer-readable matrix barcode scannable to display the received tracing information for each ingredient; and transmit, to the barcode applicator, one or more commands instructing the barcode applicator to provide the generated computer-readable matrix barcode on the surface of the plastic article.

A container for food items includes a base and an insert. The base includes a bottom panel and a peripheral bead having an inner sidewall extending upward from a perimeter of the bottom panel, a top wall extending laterally outward from an upper end of the inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall extending downward from a laterally outer edge of the top wall. At least a lower portion of the inner sidewall and the bottom panel enclose, laterally and from below, a liquid collection reservoir. The base includes a base peripheral engagement surface extending about the collection reservoir. The insert includes a support panel having an insert peripheral engagement surface releasably inter-lockable with the base peripheral engagement surface to assemble the insert to the base with the support panel overlying the collection reservoir. The support panel has at least one aperture for draining liquid from above into the collection reservoir.
