A developer container (Y) having an opening for discharging a developer contained therein and a sealing surface (S) portion surrounding the opening, is sealed with a sealing member (X) having a sealant layer and applied onto the sealing surface portion of the developer container with the sealant layer. The sealant layer contains a dispersed material therein and the sealing surface portion of the developer container contains a dispersed material which is mutually soluble with the dispersed material in the sealant layer. The dispersed material in the sealant layer preferably comprises a thermoplastic elastomer. The resultant sealed developer container may be provided with a sound seal structure even at a relatively low sealing pressure causing a smaller sealing surface depression of the developer container, which allows a re-sealing of the container. <IMAGE> |
