Abstract
An assembly for packaging a product such as a cosmetic product in the form of a cream or a gel. The assembly includes a flexible container or pot containing the product, with the container having a first end closed by a bottom and a second end, opposite the first, forming a neck delimiting an opening. The flexible container is removably disposed in a rigid structure with the rigid structure preferably extending substantially over the entire height of the container lying under the neck. The flexible container is configured so that, once it is extracted from the rigid structure, pressure exerted on the flexible container causes deformation of the container to displace the product towards the opening for use. The container can return to its undeformed shape by elastic return forces when the pressure ceases.
