(54) Easy-opening, reclosable flexible container


(57) A flexible container of the pouch type made of a film material, of the type derived from a shaped tubular body (12) formed by a film with a longitudinal heat-seal (14) and by transverse heat-seals (13) of the two ends. At least one corner region (16) of the container (10) has a tear notch (17) that produces, by pulling, the tearing of a portion (18) of the film that comprises a part of the transverse heat-seal (13) and a part of the tubular wall (15), freeing a corresponding flap (15b) of wall that is provided at least partially internally with low-stickiness adhesive (21) protected by a removable film (24). The flap (15b) can be folded back onto the remaining portion of the container (10) so as to close it by temporary sticking.
