摘要

The present invention relates to a shipping unit (30) comprising a plurality of lightweight plastic containers (1), the containers being held in position relative to each other by an outer supporting layer (31), the outer supporting layer (31) being essentially a film in tension. Substantially all of the containers (1) comprise a base portion (2), a top portion (3), a side wall (5) and optionally a handle (10), wherein at least two opposing regions (6, 6') of the side wall (5) are joined together to form a rigidifying portion (7) of the container other than the optional handle (10). <IMAGE>
