A container for a relatively brittle product, such as a haemostatic
bandage, including a body and a lid for closing the container to
hermetically seal the product therein. A sealing rim of the lid includes
a layer of elastomeric material which sealingly engages with a sealing
rim of the container body to provide a first, static, seal and a second,
dynamic, seal. The elastomeric sealing material extends into the interior
of the container beneath the lid to provide an elastomeric formation
operative to engage an upper surface of the product within the container
so as to apply a resilient bias thereto to hold a lower face of the
product against the base of the container. The elastomeric formation
thereby acts to inhibit substantial movement of the product within the
container.
