- In the past, stealing goods packed in containers or putting something into the containers without leaving any traces was not difficult because the containers were easy to be opened. Therefore, tamper-evident containers are developed and are popular in supermarkets or convenient stores nowadays. Typically, tamper-evident containers are hardly opened after closing. If somebody opens the tamper-evident containers only in force and without following a predetermined way, obvious distortions will be left on the tamper-evident containers.
- A predetermined way for opening a conventional tamper-evident container may be removing a security tape adhered thereon or removing a strip thereof. However, the conventional tamper-evident container will leave litter such as the security tape or the strip removed that is inconvenient for consumers also not environmentally-friendly.
- According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a tamper-evident includes a containing base, a lid, and a release structure. The containing base has a base edge and the lid has a lid edge. The lid is fixed to the containing base for closing and the base edge encloses the lid edge. The release structure is disposed at the containing base. The release structure includes a barrier line and two break lines. The break lines are extended from two ends of the barrier line to the base edge.
