1. A packaging assembly, comprising:
a container body defining a cylindrical sidewall, an interior for housing a product, an opening leading to the interior, a rim extending outwardly from the sidewall at an upper region of the container body, and a lip extending upwardly from the rim, the lip having a top surface, an inner side surface, and an outer side surface;
a cap connected to the container body by a hinge, the cap being pivotable with respect to the container body to move the assembly between a closed position in which the cap covers the opening and an opened position in which the opening is exposed, the cap comprising a top wall and a skirt depending downwardly therefrom;
a first seal comprising mating sealing surfaces arranged between the top surface of the lip of the container body and a horizontal surface on the cap when the assembly is in the closed position, the first seal comprising at least one bump between the top surface of the lip of the container body and the horizontal surface on the cap to create a sealing region; and
a second seal comprising mating sealing surfaces arranged at the container body and an inner surface of the skirt of the cap when the assembly is in the closed position, wherein the container body and the inner surface of the skirt of the cap complementarily engage.
