Abstract
A two-part container having upper and lower parts, each part being usable to house a product suitable for use with the product housed in the other part but which is stored separately. Each part has a top portion with a sealable aperture which is opened to access the product. The parts of the container are releasably secured together, the top portions overlying one another to protect the apertures from accidental puncturing. For example, the two-part container may be used for a soap powder or washing material stored in one part and a fabric softener or conditioner stored in the other part; a yogurt, fromage frais or soft ice-cream stored in one part and nuts, fruit or a biscuit crumb stored in the other part; and a cereal, cereal clusters or muesli stored in one part and milk in the other part.

- one part comprises a substantially open container having a relatively large aperture sealable by a layer of foil;
- the other part comprises a substantially closed container having a relatively small aperture which is closable by a foil strip;
- and
- the two parts are secured together by a band wrapped around the container when the two aperture are positioned facing one another.
