Abstract
A container composed of a plurality of container materials the opposing parts of which are sealed by heat sealing, wherein at least an opening start part of the sealed portion is of a laminated structure consisting of the plurality of container materials and an intermediate material inserted therebetween. The intermediate material and one of the container materials are tightly sealed, and the intermediate material and another of the container materials are sealed easily peelably. The inside end edge of the easily peelable seal portion is positioned more toward the center of the container than the inside end edge of the tight seal portion. At an opening start position, the outside end edge of the easily peelable seal portion is positioned more toward the center of the container than the outside end edge of the tight seal portion, and the intermediate material is provided so as to jut outwwardly of a heat sealing flat portion of a container flange. The strength of peeling of this sealed container from its central side is high enough to withstand retorting or the like, and opening of the container from outside can be effected by hand accurately and stably.
