Abstract
A container comprises a tube-shaped container body which can be closed by a bottom and a lid. The container body has supporting surfaces which allow the containers to be stacked in a closed state. To improve the stability of a stack of containers, the supporting surfaces are so arranged that when stacked, a container body projects partly into the next container body.
