Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008122961A1] A flexible container (1) including a flexible pouch (2) having a dispensing aperture (12) through which an interior space (11) is accessible from outside the flexible pouch (2), a flexible sealing member (13) releasably attached to the flexible pouch (2) and covering the dispensing aperture (12), and a rigid closure element (16) surrounding the dispensing aperture (12). The flexible sealing member (13) has at least two lifting tabs (14, 15) for lifting the flexible sealing member (13) and thereby exposing the dispensing aperture (12). The rigid closure element (16) has a base (17) permanently attached to the flexible pouch (2) and lid (18) connected to the base (17) by a hinge (19). At least one of the lifting tabs (14, 15) is likely to not be obstructed by the rigid closure element (16) when the lid (18) is in an open condition, thereby remaining usable for lifting the flexible sealing member (13) to expose the dispensing aperture (12), even if another lifting tab (14, 15) is obstructed by the rigid closure element (16).
