Abstract
A package is provided especially for containing sterile articles which can be readily opened and which provides for the controlled removal of the contents. The package is sealed in a manner which precludes the formation of channels leading to the interior of the package and compromises sterility. Specifically, the end seal of the package is provided by providing a thermoplastic adhesive which acts as a caulk to seal such potential channels, the thermoplastic adhesive being disposed in a manner whereby it is assured that said adhesive does not contact adhesively incompatible areas.
