Abstract
A packaging cup of the type typically utilized to contain a small volume of a condiment and formed of a resilient material which has a reservoir and a lip which surrounds the reservoir with a lid sealed to the lip is improved by including support fingers formed in the lip. The support fingers are formed by including slits in the lip which separate segments of the lip into the support fingers. Each of these segments, however, is maintained to the lip by a connectable portion. The support fingers are bendable about the connecting portion allowing positioning of the support fingers out the plane of the lip. When positioned out of the plane of the lip the support fingers can be engaged over a surface as, for instance, the vertical wall of another container to hold the packaging cup on the vertical wall of the container.
