The outer housing (OH) comprises a box (B) having a front side (FS) and back side (BS); and a lid (L) hinged to the box (B) at the back side (BS) of the box (B) for opening and closing a box take-out opening (TO), wherein the box (B) and the lid (L) have an inner surface and an outer surface. The container C further comprises a flexible packaging bag (PB) for accommodating the consumer goods wherein the flexible packaging bag (PB) is provided inside the outer housing (OH) and has an access opening (AO) facing the box take-out opening (TO), wherein the flexible packaging bag (PB) is formed of at least one first film (102) forming the inner side of the flexible packaging bag (PB) and at least one second film (114) forming the outer side of the flexible packaging bag (PB) and being arranged on the first film (102) wherein at least one resealable adhesive layer (112) is provided between the first film (102) and the second film (114), wherein the first film (102) has at least one access opening area (108) defined therein at least partially by at least one weakening line for providing the access opening (210), wherein the second film (114) comprises at least one opening support area (109) for uncovering and recovering the access opening (210) and at least one packaging reinforcing area (115), wherein the opening support area (109) is partially weakened along its periphery, wherein the area size of the opening support area (109) of the second film (114) is larger than the area size of the access opening area (108) of the first film (102) and covers at least substantially fully the access opening area (108) of the first film (102), and wherein an adhesion-reduced area (110) being arranged between the first film (102) and the second film (114) is provided between two facing borderlines of the access opening area (108) of the first film (102) and the opening support area (109) of the second film (114).
