Abstract

The present invention relates to a resealable container. The container includes a casing having a flap, which is openable to uncover an opening in the casing, and a covering foil, which covers and is attached to the flap and extends beyond this. The covering foil is resealably attached to the casing by a first adhesive force in a first area outside the flap and is substantially permanently attached to the casing by a second adhesive force greater than the first adhesive force, on the one hand in a basic area of the flap and, on the other hand, in a second area positioned outside the first area. According to the invention, the covering foil has only one perforated line between the first and second areas and is not attached to the casing in a third area within which the entire perforated line is extended.
