Provided are a simple, quick, and low-processing cost method capable of reliably separating part of an accommodated substance accommodated in a vessel only by simple mechanical operation while maintaining a hermetically-sealed state without any contact with an outside atmosphere, as well as a vessel with which the method may be used. A separable vessel comprises a first vessel portion, a second vessel portion which is contiguous with the first vessel portion, a fracture-inducing portion formed between the first vessel portion and the second vessel portion, and a self-fusing material provided on an outer surface so as to cover the fracture-inducing portion; and may contain an accommodated substance therein.

An apparatus and method for holding and dispensing labels. A container provides for both packaging and dispensing continuous feed labels. A bottom portion of the container includes a detachable portion for improved label feed. At least one of the bottom portion or a lid includes cutout to support a roll for a label roll. The detachable portion improves label feeding from the container, particularly near the end of the label supply. The bottom portion of the container can also be stacked on the lid to raise the labels to a better feed geometry.
