A one-piece merchandising container made of synthetic plastic sheet is provided. The merchandising container is suitable for storing food products such as sandwich type products within warming ovens useful in self-serve food store operations. The merchandising container includes an overlocking sealing peripheral lip structure, an especially flexible hinge portion, and a locking assembly that ensures closure of the merchandising container until the locking assembly is precisely manipulated through an unlocking procedure initiated by depressing a portion of the container below the locking assembly.
