Abstract
A container system for containing a plurality of ink pads comprises a cover defining a cover mounting portion and a plurality of bases. Each base defines a support wall portion defining a support surface, a first wall portion defining a first base mounting portion, and a second wall portion defining a second base mounting portion. At least one of the ink pads is supported on each of the support surfaces. The cover mounting portion is capable of engaging the first base mounting portions to detachably attach the cover to one of the plurality of bases to define a cover chamber. The first base mounting portions are capable of engaging the second base mounting portions to detachably attach at least one of the bases to at least another of the bases to define at least one base chamber. The container system operates in a stack mode. In the stack mode, the cover is detachably attached to a first one of the plurality of bases to define the cover chamber and the first one of the plurality of bases is detachably attached to a second one of the plurality of bases to define a first base chamber.
