Abstract

A consumer product package comprising a tub comprising a base and a perimeter wall defining a cavity, the base comprising at least two projections extending from the base within the cavity, the at least two projections spaced apart from the perimeter wall; and a consumer product disposed within the cavity such that each of the at least two projections define a recessed portion to receive the consumer product, wherein the base comprises a secondary projection having a height different than a height of each of the at least two projections, the secondary projection free of contact from the consumer product.

Claims (12)

1. A plurality of tubs for holding a consumer product comprising:

a first tub comprising a base and a perimeter wall defining a cavity, the base comprising at least two projections extending upward and away from the base within the cavity, the at least two projections spaced apart from the perimeter wall, at least one of the projections including a secondary projection disposed adjacent the at least one projection and extending upward and away from the base, the secondary projection having a height different than a height of each of the at least two projections, the secondary projection having a horizontal surface and

a second tub comprising a base and a perimeter wall defining a cavity, the base comprising at least two projections extending upward and away from the base within the cavity, the at least two projections spaced apart from the perimeter wall, at least one of the projections including a secondary projection disposed adjacent the at least one projection and extending upward and away from the base, the secondary projection having a height different than a height of each of the at least two projections, the secondary projection having a horizontal surface, the horizontal surface of the secondary projection of the second tub having a different configuration than the horizontal surface of the secondary projection of the first tub such that when said first tub is stacked on said second tub with the secondary projections oriented in a same direction a portion of the horizontal surface of the secondary projection of the second tub is free from contact with the first tub.

2. The plurality of tubs of claim 1 , wherein the secondary projection of the first tub is integrally formed with the base.

3. The plurality of tubs of claim 2 , wherein the secondary projection of the first tub comprises a plurality of secondary projections, a height of each of the secondary projections being equal in height.

4. The plurality of tubs of claim 3 , wherein each of the plurality of secondary projections of the first tub is spaced apart from one another.

5. The plurality of tubs of claim 1 , wherein the first tub further comprises a top surface and the perimeter wall comprises an exterior surface, the exterior surface comprising opposing side walls each forming a non-perpendicular angle with the top surface.

6. The plurality of tubs of claim 5 , wherein the opposing side walls of the first tub are generally parallel.

7. The plurality of tubs of claim 1 , wherein one interior side wall of the perimeter wall of the first tub is non-linear.

8. The plurality of tubs of claim 7 , wherein the one side of the perimeter wall of the first tub comprises a recessed portion having a height lower than a top surface of the first tub.

9. The plurality of tubs of claim 1 , wherein each interior side wall of the perimeter wall of the first tub is non-linear.

10. The plurality of tubs of claim 1 , wherein the first tub is made from fiber.
