A storage container (10) is disclosed comprising a bottom surface (12), and sidewalls
(14) extending from the bottom surface to an upper rim (16). An internal storage chamber
(18) is defined by smooth continuous sidewalls (20) and a floor surface (22). The external
surface of the sidewalls comprises a lower fluted portion (24), an upper sealing surface band
(28), and a horizontal flange (26) separating the band from the fluted portion. One container
nests within a like-configured second container, with raised ridges (32) of the inner
container contacting the smooth sidewalls (20) of the outer container. Air pressure is
equalized by the fluted portion (24) to prevent the nested containers from locking together in
the nested condition. A lid component fits over the upper rim (16) of the container base, and
seals against the upper sealing surface band (28).
