    Patent number: 5507389
    Abstract: A stackable container useful for containing premoistened wipes therein includes a bottom having a pair of circular recesses and a lid having a pair of circular projections in alignment with the circular recesses so that the container may stack with similar containers. Each container is twice as long as it is wide so that the containers may stack in a staggered configuration, extending either parallel or perpendicular with respect to one another. The lid of the container is unitary with a rim and pivots with respect to the rim on a living hinge. A raised floor with a gutter therearound is provided at the bottom of the container for supporting a stack of moist wipes, wherein the edges of the lowermost wipes remain immersed in moisture which pools in the gutter in order to keep the stack moist.
