1. A soft pack dispensing container for wipes and housing comprising a housing featuring at least two longitudinal supports having a hollow or tubular channel over at least part of their length and open from at least one end, so that when considered in cross section, each support has a boundary wall that contains the hollow or tubular channel, this boundary wall having a gap in its perimeter, and a soft pack dispensing container for wipes featuring at least two longitudinal extension rails which engage with the supports within the housing, each of the extensions having a cross sectional shape such that the extension can be inserted through the open end of the support and axially translated into the hollow or tubular channel, and having a supporting stem which spaces the extension from its base, the supporting stem being accommodated by the gap in the perimeter of the boundary wall of the support, at least one extension comprises a longitudinal bulbous or T-shaped or widened or thickened shape upon a longitudinal stem, which engages with a corresponding longitudinal cavity and longitudinal gap in the support that preferentially resists displacement in response to any force which is non parallel to the direction in which the extensions are inserted or removed from the hollow or tubular channel. wherein one extension and support have an engaging shape that preferentially resists displacement in response to force in a first direction, and another extension and support have an engaging shape that preferentially resists displacement in response to force in a second direction, where the first and second directions are non-parallel.

2. A container and housing according to claim 1 wherein the longitudinal stem of at least one extension is inclined from the vertical and horizontal.

3. A container and housing according to any previous claim wherein a component of the first direction is a force applied horizontally, such as from wipes being extracted from the pack though the orifice of the housing.

4. A container and housing according to any previous claim wherein a component of the first direction is a force applied in a downward direction such as caused by the weight of the pack of wipes.

5. A container and housing system according to any previous claim wherein there are at least two types of soft pack dispensing container each with sets of extensions that are different in shape to each other and at least two different types of housing each having supports with different hollow shapes running through them such that, in use, the extensions of each soft pack container of wipes is only able to fully engage with supports within a housing when the shapes of the extensions and the hollow shapes within the supports are mutually compatible.

6. A container and housing system according to claim 5 wherein each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of the shape of the hollow section running through the support or supports.

7. A container and housing system according to any previous claim wherein there are at least two types of soft pack dispensing container each having sets of extensions and sealing caps that are different in shape to each other and at least two different types of housing each having supports with different hollow shapes and different shaped receptacle sections running through them such that, in use, the extensions of each soft pack container of wipes is only able to fully engage with supports within a housing when the profile shapes of the extensions plus sealing caps are mutually compatible with the hollow shapes within the supports and the receptacle section.

8. A container and housing system according to claim 7 wherein each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of the shape of the hollow section running through the support or supports and the shape of the receptacle section.

9. A container and housing system according to any of claims 5 to 8 wherein there are at least two types of soft pack dispensing container and at least two different types of housing, each housing having supports set at different widths apart such that, in use, the extensions of each soft pack container of wipes is only able to fully engage with supports within a housing when the width between the extensions and the width between the supports and extensions are mutually compatible.

10. A container and housing system according to claim 9 wherein each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of the relative width between the pairs of supports, and the relative width between pairs of extensions.

11. A container and housing system according to any of claims 5 to 10 wherein there are at least two types of soft pack dispensing container and at least two different types of housing, each housing having supports set at different heights such that, in use, the extensions of each soft pack container of wipes is only able to fully engage with supports within a housing when the relative heights between the supports within the housing and the relative heights between the extensions are mutually compatible.

12. A container and housing system according to claim 11 wherein each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of the relative height between the pairs of supports, and the relative height between pairs of extensions.

13. A container and housing according to any previous claim wherein two extensions are provided as a single integral structure.

14. A container and housing according to any previous claim wherein each of the extensions on the soft pack are different to each other.

15. A container and housing according to any previous claim wherein two supports are provided as a single integral structure.

16. A container and housing according to any previous claim wherein the extensions will engage with the supports within the housing when inserted in one orientation, but will not engage with the supports within the housing when inserted in the opposite orientation.

17. A container and housing according to any other claim wherein the soft pack dispensing container for wipes features a rigid flip top, the rigid flip top featuring a frame fixed to the dispensing container, the fixed frame surrounds an aperture though which wipes are extracted from the dispensing container, the fixed frame featuring one or both of the longitudinal extensions which engage with the supports within the housing.

18. A wipe dispensing container and housing system according to any previous claim wherein each support structure within the housing has an identifiable colour which matches the colour of any part of fixed frame and extensions structure.

19. A wipe dispensing container and housing system according to any previous claim wherein each housing and container feature a legend, symbol or wording to indicate the particular function of the wipes.

20. A wipe dispensing container and housing system according to any previous claim wherein the container includes a lid which includes a fin, while the housing a notch, the fin and the notch being shaped to engage with one another when the lid is opened, the difference in the engaging shape one extension to the other extension ensuring that the container is correctly oriented for the fin on the domed lid to engage with the notch on the housing.
