Abstract
A container and a method for forming a container that has a base flange on a base, and a lid flange on a lid. One or both of the base flange and lid flange have a relief pattern. For each flange that has the relief pattern, the relief pattern imparts rigidity in the flange to resist flexure of the flange relative to the portion of the container (the base or lid) to which the flange is attached.
