Abstract
A container () suitable for use in packaging pharmaceutical products such as tablets and capsules. The container () can be withdrawn from a box or sleeve () in a first direction X to a fully extended position whereby a user can remove any item stored by the container (). The container () has a base () which includes an end portion () that remains substantially within the box or sleeve () when in the fully extended position. The base () carries at least one chamber formation () for containing an item to be removed by the user. The base () also has at least one stabilizing formation () on the end portion () that interacts with the box or sleeve () when in the fully extended position to resist pivoting of the container () relative to the box or sleeve (). The or each stabilizing formation () differs in size and/or shape to the or each chamber formation (), and has a length in the first direction X that is greater than or equal to its width in a second direction Y. The second direction Y is substantially orthogonal to the first direction X across the base ().
