Abstract
A package for a composition, the package comprising a container having a base comprising a base face for standing the package on a planar surface, and a cap removably connected to and covering a dispensing end of the container opposite to the base. The cap has an end face which is inclined to the base face, and the container and cap are shaped to permit the package, independent of the amount of the consumer composition contained within the container, selectively to be stood on the base face in an upright orientation on the planar surface or on the end face in an inverted orientation on the planar surface.

A package for a composition, the package comprising a container, the container having a base comprising a base face for standing the package on a planar surface, and a cap removably connected to and covering a dispensing end of the container opposite to the base, wherein the cap has an end face which is inclined to the base face, and wherein the container and cap are shaped to permit the package, independent of the amount of a composition contained within the container, selectively to be stood on the base face in an upright orientation on the planar surface or on the end face in an inverted orientation on the planar surface, wherein
- when the package is stood in an upright orientation the centre of gravity of the package lies within the area of the base face, and
- when the package is stood in an inverted orientation the centre of gravity of the package lies within the area of the end face.
A package for a composition, the package comprising a container, the container having a base comprising a base face for standing the package on a horizontal planar surface in an upright orientation at a first angle to the vertical, and a cap removably connected to and covering a dispensing end of the container opposite to the base, wherein the cap has an end face which is inclined to the base face for standing the package on a planar surface in an inverted orientation at a second angle to the vertical, wherein in the upright orientation the centre of gravity of the package lies within the area of the base face and in the inverted orientation the centre of gravity of the package lies within the area of the end face.
