<p>A generally parallelepipedal container (10) for liquids has an upper wall (18) with a recess. The recess has a rear wall (24) and side walls (20, 22), and the side walls (20, 22) are formed at an angle to the sides (12) of the container. A generally cylindrical neck (26) projects upwardly from the front of the recess, and the neck (26) is formed with a wider section (34) near the base of the recess, shaped such that it is wider at its top part than at its bottom part, and extending around the neck (26) as a body of revolution. Forming the neck in this way makes it easier to remove the container from the mould in which it is formed (by blow-moulding), and also allows the neck to deform resiliently when subjected to shock loads. An insert can be provided in the neck to improve the anti-glug properties of the container, and to increase the strength of the neck.</p> |
