The invention relates to a method for sterilising a closed container (1) which is ready to be filled. The container is substantially in the form of a homogenous flat first sheet (2A) and a non-homogenous second sheet (2B) with susbtantially plane insides and with a space (14) between the first and the second sheet. A sterilisation of the insides of the container and the space (14) is achieved by means of electron exposure of the outside of the first sheet (2A).
