A package has two complementary casing-parts (102,103) having a central, outwards-extending depression (106,107) for accommodating opposite sides of a container C. One of the casing-parts (102) is lined with a super-absorbent material lining (108). The depression in each casing-part is surrounded by a respective surround (109, 110). The surrounds have margins (112,114), which are stepped in the opposite direction from the depressions, i.e. inwards of the closed condition of the package. With the interposition of the lining (108), the margins abut when the casing-parts are closed together.

1. A transport package for a leak-risk liquid container, the transport package comprising: a casing for enclosing the container and formed of a complementary pair of casing-parts of impermeable material, arrangeable opposite each other for closure of the casing,one of the casing-parts having: a container-receiving depression extending in a direction outwards of the casing when closed anda rim around the depression, the rim adjoining the depression or being set away from it and extending in the outwards direction or in the opposite, inwards direction, andthe other of the casing-parts having: a central region opposite the depression in the other casing-part when the casing is closed anda rim around the central region, the rim extending inwards of the casing when closed or outwards, the directions in which the rims extend being such that when the casing is closed the rims fit the one within the other, anda super-absorbent material lining on at least one of the casing-parts, the lining extending from one or both of the depression and the central region as far as and between the rims to provide a super-absorbent lining that entirely lines the at least one of the casing parts when the casing is closed including entirely lining between the portion of the rims that fit the one within the other, with negligible clearance at the rims either between the linings where both casing-parts are lined or between the lining of the lined one of the casing-parts and the other casing-part where one only is lined, wherein super-absorbent material lining on at least one of the casing-parts the arrangement being such that liquid accidentally released from an encased container is absorbed by the super-absorbent material centrally of the rims and does not penetrate appreciably between the rims, initial liquid (if any) reaching the said negligible clearance and swelling the super-absorbent material there, with further permeation of liquid being blocked by the swelling providing “gel blocking”. 2. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the central region is plain, with its casing-part acting as a lid to the other casing part. 3. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the central region has its own depression, with both casing-parts having respective container receiving depressions opposite each other for opposite portions of the same container. 4. A transport package as claimed in claim 3, wherein the respective depressions are of the same size. 5. A transport package as claimed in claim 3, wherein one of the respective depressions is larger than the other. 6. A transport package as claimed in claim 5, wherein the casing part having the larger depression has its rim extending in the same direction as the depression. 7. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of casing receiving depressions are provided for a plurality of containers. 8. A transport package as claimed in claim 7, wherein the depressions are sized to receive a plurality of different size of container. 9. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the or each depression has a regular shape and the rim in its casing-part extends directly from its edge. 10. A transport package as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a surround around the or each depression between the or each depression and the rim, wherein the surround and the central region, where only one casing-part has a depression, or the surrounds, where both casing-parts have depressions, have: margins forming gel blocking corners with their rims, the margins abutting each other with negligible clearance, when the container is closed, andinner lands stepped away from each other,the arrangement allowing space for the super-absorbent lining to expand into in event of liquid release on container breaking, the margins providing pinch points at which gel blocking can occur against liquid permeation outwards of the margins. 11. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein a surround is provided around the depression or the depressions in the respective casing-part between its depression(s) and its rim. 12. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the or each depression has at least one narrow region having prominent features arranged to locate the container within the depression and at least one wide region providing clearance from the container allowing space for the super-absorbent lining to expand into in event of liquid release on container breaking. 13. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the or each depression is sized to receive a container of a standard size and the package is sized to provide additional space within the closed package at least as large as the liquid contents space of the container(s), whereby the super-absorbent lining can absorb this volume of liquid. 14. A transport package as claimed in claim 13, wherein the additional space is at least half as large again as the liquid contents space. 15. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the package is provided with further features to ensure that it is leak-tight. 16. A transport package as claimed in claim 15, wherein: the inner of the rims has a lip that turns out and has a return in the direction of the inner rim andthe outer rim has a lip, sized to fit tightly between the inner rim and its return the rims and the lips form gel blocking corners. 17. A transport package as claimed in claim 16, wherein the return in the direction of the inner rim is angled towards the inner rim to overhang the edge of the other lip and captivate it. 18. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two casing parts are separate. 19. A transport package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two casing-parts are connected by a living hinge, forming a clam shell pair. 20.
