Abstract
A container for food products, such as nuts, is provided, wherein the container includes a body defining an interior of the container. The body has a neck surrounding an access opening that is adapted to be covered with a lid. A sidewall of the container has a plurality of facets narrowing toward a longitudinal axis of the body, and the lid has the same number of facets formed in a skirt thereof that are generally aligned with the facets of the body of the container when the lid is in a closed position covering the access opening. The material of the body is preferably formed from a polyethylene terephthalate resin with an oxygen scavenger additive and with an average wall thickness of between about 0.012 and 0.035 inches and up to about 0.05 inches, preferably between about 0.015 inches and 0.040 inches, and between about 10% and 35% crystallinity to provide both barrier properties and translucency.
