Abstract
A correction fluid bottle (1) has a neck insert (4) defining a passage through which an applicator brush can be passed, and an inner end of the insert is terminated in a steeply inclined plane to define a tapered protrusion (15) extending into the bottle for drops of fluid running back through the neck to collect at the free end of the protrusion and fall back into the bottle, thereby avoiding a build up of dried fluid at the inner end of the neck.
