By another kind of approach, as shown in Figure 148 and 149, fasten cover 41 and can be configured to be attached to dish 11.In this form, cover 41 is preferably rigidity substantially, but has enough elasticity, to such an extent as to cover 41 can fasten on the flange 38 of dish and be sealed in the content of dish 11 wherein.Cover 41 can be made up of any applicable material, as being applicable to the blow molded or hot formed plastics of rigidity.The cover 41 of this form comprises the skirt section (skirt) 45 that basal wall 43 and the outward flange from basal wall 43 hang down.As shown in Figure 149, skirt section 45 comprises inwardly protruded ridge (rib) or thrust (protuberance) 49, and described inwardly protruded ridge or thrust 49 are configured to fasten on the flange 38 that coils 11 and by cover 41 and are fixed to dish 11.Cover 41 is shown together with the dish 11 shown in Fig. 3, and cover 41 has corresponding shape and come top and the front portion of covering disk 11, but cover 41 can be as expected be configured to fasten to other dishes described herein.

The dish 11 thereon with fastening cover 41 can have film 51 alternatively, and described film 51 is sealed to the flange 38 of cover 41 dish 11 below.Like this, before opening, even if cover 41 is removed, film 51 will keep the sealing of the content top of packing 10.

In the another kind of mode again for opening and closing container shown in Figure 152 and 153, dish 11 can comprise the removable section 71 of flange 38.The removable section 71 of flange 38 can be along the line of weakness 73 between flange and the remainder of flange, separable from the remainder of flange.Preferably, although not necessarily, the removable section 71 of flange 38 comprise the top section 42 of flange 38 or the front part of flange 38 44 both one of some or all.Some in other parts of flange 38, as lateral flanges part 48,50 can be included with 52 together with removable section 71.As shown in the exemplary of Figure 152 and 153, removable section 71 comprises length whole of the front part 44 of flange 38, and the neighbouring part of lateral flanges part 48 and 52, but do not comprise the essential part of the lateral flanges part 50 of the top section 42 of adjacent flange 38.

In the time that the removable section 71 of flange 38 is separated from the remainder of flange 38, cover 12 preferably keeps being attached to removable section 71, and this uses alternatively than realizing at the stronger adhesives of adhesives between cover 12 and the remainder of flange 38 or between cover 12 and the top section 42 of flange 38.This allows removable section 71 to be used as the protruding tongue of opening cover 12 with being.In addition, removable section 71 can be used to cover 12 to be fixed on closed again position.As shown in Figure 154, preferably, the hermetic unit of cover 12 and be at least originally flange 38 front part 44 part and be in the part being attached of part of removable section 71 now, have slight clearance.This gap can be used to the remainder of the front part 44 that receives flange 39, and cover 12 is fixed on to closed again position.

An advantage of this configuration is, when cover 12 or 41 is attached to dish 12 time, cover 12 or 41 can provide complete (, without interrupting, as folding line, angle, lip shape part (lip), Deng) surface, almost 90 degree viewing areas in, can see the whole of cover 12 or 41.When packaging 10 is as grocery store or convenience store, be set forth at while sale on shelf, this is especially favourable.Conventionally no matter customer's height, 90 degree viewing areas will provide the complete view of cover and any figure, advertisement, word or analogue on cover for client.This will shown information provide the complete area larger than the Traditional Packing with obvious top and sidepiece for figure, mark and other.

If it is essentially no fold that cover 12 spreads all over its whole surf zone, cover 12 provides better visible surface.This can use thicker material relatively, as the film of cardboard, relatively high thickness (gauge), or thin semi-rigid or rigidity plastics, realize.But such material increases the material cost of each packaging 10.Another kind of corrugationless cover can be the film of relatively low thickness.With the film of low like this thickness, packaging 10 can make its air pressure during the manufacture of packaging 10 be changed, to such an extent as to the sealed inside of packaging has the positive pressure with respect to ambient pressure.Described positive pressure extrusion film and smoothing because film lacks any fold in film that the inner support of peripheral flange 38 forms.

As shown in Figure 8A and 8B, for having in the replaceable scheme of scheme of segmental arc 48 of flange 38, a series of straight centre portions 61 can continue between the top section 42 of dish 11 and front part 44.A series of straight centre portions 61 are in nonparallel angle, and with 44 one-tenth nonparallel angles of top section 42 and front part.Like this, do not there is arch section or not only there is arch section with the sealing surfaces 40 of the dish 11 of this form.Like this, cover 12 can have one or more wrinkle (crease) or folding line 65, and described one or more wrinkle or folding line 65 extensions are crossed cover 12 and alignd with the angle 63 that connects straight centre portion 61.For this dish and other dishes, free edge has mutually angularly the first and second parts of biasing.Described the first and second parts or can be connected directly, or can by or one or more continuous segmental arcs, a series of straight or plane angled section or its combination continue.For example, as found out in Fig. 8 A, top is straight or planar section 42 and anterior straight or planar section 44 are setovered relative to each other angledly, and for example, they are positioned at non-parallel planes.In Fig. 8 A, top straight portion 42 and anterior straight portion 44 are continued by a series of centre portions 61, but top straight portion 42 and anterior straight portion 44 are continued by arch section 59 in Fig. 8.
