Abstract

A stack of at least two cans (10, 12) locked together to form a stable substantially rigid unit is disclosed. Each can (10) comprises a peripheral skirt (26) around the base (16) which resiliently clips over a peripheral rim (20) around the lid (18) of a similar can (12). A stack of the cans, which can be lifted by lifting one of the cans in the stack, can be subjected to conventional can processing. A method of processing cans in a stack is also disclosed.
