Cap for dispensing tube

A modular container assembly comprises first, second and third containers. Each of the containers includes a continuous body portion and a rim. The rim encompasses and projects laterally outwardly from the body portion. The rim has a first feature projecting generally upwardly therefrom and a corresponding second feature being adapted to be releasably engageable with another one of the first feature. The rims of the containers are substantially identical. The containers are releasably engaged to each other by fitting respective upwardly-projecting features into the corresponding feature of another container or into the upwardly-projecting feature of another container. At least one of the first, second and third containers is inverted with respect to the remaining containers so as to form a modular container assembly.

A generally circular container is disclosed. The container comprises a continuous body portion. The container further comprises a rim encompassing and projecting laterally outwardly from the body portion. The container further comprises a first feature projecting generally upwardly from the rim. The container further comprises a corresponding second feature positioned on the rim. The container further comprises a stacking feature formed on the body portion opposite the rim. The stacking feature extends substantially along the circumference of the container. The container is adapted to be stacked with a second container, the second container being inverted relative to the first container, by engaging the stacking feature of the container with a second stacking feature of the second container to prevent or inhibit lateral movement of the container relative to the second container.
