Crossword Genius

Container, for instance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

case

I believe this is a double definition.

'container' is the first definition.
(case is a kind of container)

'instance' is the second definition.
('case' can be a synonym of 'instance')

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for case that I've seen before include "Legal action; container" , "Cover" , "condition" , "Piece of luggage and a lawyer's proceeding" , "Container and court proceeding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
