The first and second sheets (2,3) are joined together defining a product cavity (8), the first and second sheets (2,3) are positioned such that two folded portions (4,5) protrude outwardly and are arranged opposite such that. By pulling in a direction transverse to that of the folded portions, the two peelable seals (6,7) are peeled apart and an aperture (9,10) be created in each side of the packaging providing access to the product cavity (8). The invention also relates to a method for making such a packaging.
