This invention provides a container (10) in the form of a sachet having
a body (11) defining a reservoir (12). The body (11) includes
a flexible first wall (13) having a line of weakness (14), and a
relatively more flexible second wall (15) sealingly joined to the first
wall (13), along its periphery. The line of weakness (14) is configured
to open up to form an opening in the first wall (13) when the first wall
(13) is folded about the line of weakness (14). The invention is
characterised in that the line of weakness (14) is bent, resulting in the
advantages that the first wall (13) opens in a controlled fashion and the
container (10) is able to withstand relatively rough handling and a substantial
amount of bending, without the first wall (13) opening accidentally along
the line of weakness (14).
