A fresh packaging system for roast and ground coffee having a top load capacity of at least about 16 pounds (7.3 Kg) comprising a stackable contain er with a closed bottom, an open top, and a body enclosing a perimeter between the bottom and the top. A protuberance (17) is continuously disposed around the perimeter of the body proximate to the top and forms a ridge external to the body. A flexible closure (18) is removeably attached and sealed to the protuberance so that the closure seals the interior volume of the container. The container bottom and container body are constructed from a material havi ng a tensile modulus number ranging from at least about 35,000 to at least abou t 650,000 pounds per square inch (at least about 2,381 to at least about 44,23 0 atm).
