Abstract

Containers have an outline in underneath plan view which is wedge shaped. The wedge has a length greater than its width at the thicker end.
The containers are packed on a rectangular floor area, which may be the base of a box, with at least some containers in pairs side by side touching each other but with their wedge shapes oriented oppositely so that the thinner end of each wedge shape is adjacent the thicker end of the wedge shape of the other container of the said pair, but with a gap between the thinner end of each wedge shape and a notional rectangle whose sides are parallel to or coincide with sides of the rectangular boundary, and which fits around the wedge shapes with one pair of sides contacting the non-touching sides of the wedge shapes and the other pair of sides contacting the thicker ends of the wedge shapes.
This gives flexibility in fitting the containers onto a floor area, and in turn gives greater freedom of choice when designing packaging for a product.
