Zusammenfassung:	A collapsible container 1, in particular a jug, comprises an upper member 2 defining an opening 7, a lower member 3 defining a base, a collapsible side wall 5 that extends between the upper and lower members and a link 4. The container is alterable between a collapsed configuration and an in-use configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the side wall is collapsed and the link is attached to one of the upper or lower members such that the other member is releasably retained between the link and the member to which the link is attached. In the in-use configuration, the side wall is extended and the link is attached to both the upper and lower members such that members are releasably retained in a spaced apart configuration. The link, which in the in-use configuration may be used as a handle, may be pivotally attached to the upper member at a first side and releasably attached to a spout formed on an opposing side of the upper member. The link may comprise two flexible prongs that engage with either the spout when the container is in the collapsed configuration or at least one recess formed in the lower member when the container is in the in-use configuration.
