In one aspect, the protective container is provided with impact energy-absorbing structural features for protecting the fragile article in the event of it being dropped, for instance impact energy-absorbing collars (45, 47; 45′, 47′) at, or adjacent to, the forward and rear end surfaces, respectively. In other aspects of the invention, the protective container (1; 1′) has a hanging member (17; 17′) and/or a corrugated wall structure (37, 39, 41, 43; 37′, 39′41′43′) and/or a latchable flap (55; 55′) for a dispensing aperture (57; 57′) in the container. In yet further aspects, there is provided a protective container having a re-formable label (101; 101′) and/or an internal skirt (73; 73′) for locating and retaining a feature on an article to be housed therein. The invention further provides a nozzle accessory (150) for attachment to a container to enable the contents of the container to be discharged.
