Abstract: The invention relates to a stack (1) of disposable pet food containers with each container in the stack (1) above the bottom most container (19) in the stack (1) comprising a lower surface which is provided with an adhesive layer. Each container in the stack above the bottom most container (19) in the stack (1) are respectively adhered to a container below it in the stack through an adhesive layer provided on a lower surface of the container. The containers above the bottom most container (19) in the stack (1) are arranged such that when one of said containers is removed from the stack (1) the adhesive provided on the lower surface of the container is exposed and is in a ready state to adhere the container to a support surface upon placing the container on the support surface.

Abstract: A base (2) for a disposable pet food container (1) which is provided with a protruding region (12) on a lower surface (11) of the base (2) that is covered with an adhesive layer (13). The adhesive layer (13) allows the container to be adhered to a support surface. As the protruding region (12) preferentially contacts the support surface before the remainder of the lower surface, the bulk of the weight of the container (1) is caused, at least initially, to act through the protruding region (12). This encourages a sufficient contact to be made between the lower surface (11) of the base (2) and the support surface to adhere the container (1) to the support surface without requiring an application of force that is great enough to cause deformation of the container (1). This allows the amount of material that the container (1) is made from to be reduced, decreasing cost and therefore increasing the commercial viability of the container (1).
