Abstract

A container having a rim removably connected to the upper edge of the container. The rim can be formed in various configurations from a single mold using mold inserts. The various rim configurations accommodate different lids. Providing the mold inserts on the rim (which is a very shallow part) is much simpler than providing such inserts an the container itself.
