Abstract
A packaging system for storing and dispensing liquid or powder products. The product is housed within an inner container having a body defined by a side wall and an opening therein for dispensing the product. A flexible outer shell substantially surrounds the inner container and is removably secured thereto. The outer shell can be designed to resemble the three-dimensional shape of an animal, cartoon character or the like, for superior aesthetic appeal. The contents of the inner container may be sealed with a closure. A three dimensional topper may be provided, which is designed to resemble the head or upper portion of the character being depicted. The outer shell can be squeezed to cause dispensing of the product from the inner container, and can be adapted to hold inner containers of all shapes and sizes. The inner container is easily replaced once empty.
