Abstract

A package for pourable substances like liquids or loose fine granulates includes an inner plastic container holding the substance to be packed and a cardboard envelop surrounding the plastic container, wherein the plastic container is a thin-walled hollow plastic body made by a blowing process. The envelope, when set up as a package, is at least locally in contact with the plastic container and is fitted with apertures facilitating its holding the plastic container. The hollow plastic body has at least two straight surfaces substantially forming one edge, in which a region of the associated side has a recess, and apertures in the cardboard envelope formed as a supporting case correspond to the recess in the edge region of the hollow plastic body to provide a handle.
