Abstract

This invention relates to a multi-unit package of metal containers that have been internally coated with resins and stacked to form the package using plastic divider sheet of a prescribed composition between the tiers of containers. The subject invention is a multi-unit package comprising at least two plastic dividers for receiving and holding a plurality of open-ended metal containers having their walls coated with a resin layer, said containers having their open ends in abutting relationship with a first surface of one of said at least two plastic dividers and their bases in abutting relationship with a second surface of the second of said at least two plastic dividers, the open ends of said containers being sealingly engaged with the first surface to form closed spaces wherein migration and/or diffusion of an organoleplic active agent capable of traveling from said first surface encompassed by said open ends to said resin layer is substantially suppressed, said plastic dividers comprising polymers selected from the group consisting of polyalkyleneterephthalate and copolyesters of cycloaliphatic diols and dibasic carboxylic acids.
