Claim 0:
1. A container comprising:
a lid and base constructed from a formable material;
the container having an open configuration and a substantially closed configuration
wherein a cavity for containing contents within the container is defined between the lid and the base;

the lid having
a substantially flat lid top area,
a lock projection extending from a placement area, and
the placement area is
substantially planar and
adapted for receipt of a membrane placed on the container, the placement area having
a first surface area located on the lid and external to the cavity, and
a coverable gap, void of the formable material, located adjacent to the first surface area;

the base having
a floor area defining a substantially planar geometric plane and
a rim portion including a base extension with a second surface area;

wherein
a first portion of the membrane covers at least a part of the coverable gap and,
a second portion of the membrane covers at least a part of the first surface area of the lid, and
the lock projection is covered by, and projects away from, the membrane; and

wherein, in the substantially closed configuration,
the substantially flat lid top area is
disposed substantially externally with respect to the cavity,
disposed substantially parallel to the floor area of the base,
facing away from the floor area,

the placement area faces away from the substantially planar geometric plane,
a lock receiver of the base contacts a section of the lock projection of the lid adjacent to the placement area to secure the lid to the base,
a portion of the second surface area is within the coverable gap of the placement area and faces the membrane,
the first portion of the membrane is substantially coplanar to the second portion of the membrane, and
the first portion of the membrane covers the portion of the second surface area within the coverable gap.
