Abstract

A child-resistant molded-fiber container includes a base, a lid, and a hinge. The base includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface defines a cavity and the lower surface defines a channel surrounding the cavity. The channel is disposed between an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall of the base. The outer sidewall includes a locking member. The lid includes a sidewall having an opening. The hinge rotatably connects the base and the lid, and allows rotation of the lid between an open configuration and a closed configuration relative to the base. In the closed configuration, the sidewall of the lid is disposed around the outer sidewall of the base and conceals the upper surface of the base. In the closed configuration, the locking member of the base extends through the opening of the lid to inhibit movement of the lid to the open configuration.
