Abstract
A high security tamper evident package for the shipping and storing of a variety of highly proprietary electronic components. The package has a lid and a multi-compartmented base which are threaded together to actively engage an automatic locking system enabled by breakaway tabs on the wall of the base sliding over and engaging behind ramps protruding from the inner surface of the lid. Upon unscrewing the base from the lid, the tabs break off as pressure is applied by movement against the back of the ramps, leaving permanent evidence of the package having been opened. A textured grip on the bottom of the package provides ease of handling and fits snugly onto a raised ring on the top of another package to allow for easy stacking and efficient storage.
