A SEALABLE CONTAINER, AND METHOD FOR SEALING A CONTAINER

摘要

A container ( 51 ) for storage and dispensing of fluids, comprising collapsible front ( 54 ) and rear walls ( 56 ) defining a chamber, having a gland ( 50 ) defining a fluid passage for allowing the passage of fluids into the chamber carried on the front wall ( 54 ) of the container ( 51 ). The gland ( 50 ) includes a sealing land ( 59 ) within the container for sealingly engaging a heat sealable membrane ( 61 ) along a continuous seal upon the application of heat through the rear wall ( 56 ) of the container. The sealing land ( 59 ) in a pre-sealed condition, includes at least one thermo-deformable projection ( 64 ) having a raised profile providing an initial melt zone of reduced area relative to the area of the sealing land.
