Packaging

A packaging unit for a consumable product, comprising, in combination:

• a tub-shaped container of a first, thin-walled material for containing the product, a casing of a second, thick-walled thermally-insulating material, with the casing having an opening therein, with the container being insertable into the casing via said opening and received in, held by, and rigidly supported by the casing, with the dimensional relationships of the container in the casing forming a tight fit therebetween to prevent dissassembly of the container and the casing once the container has been received by the casing, with the opening of the casing allowing access to the contents of the container when the container is held in the casing, a closure of thick-walled thermally-insulating material for the casing, with the thick-walled thermally-insulating material of the casing and of the closure being substantially thicker than the thin-walled material of the container, means for removable and replaceable engagement of said closure with the casing for alternately sealing off or freeing said access to the contents of the container, and a sleeve located on the outer wall of the casing for finishing off and carrying decorative artwork for the casing.
