<p>A paste dispensing container comprising a cylindrical container (1) having positioned therein a piston (4) slidable along the walls of the container, a first end (2) closed with a cap (5) to seal paste (6) within the container, a connecting portion (3) at a second end of the container for connection with a pressurized fluid supply, and a leakage-preventing cover (7) having an air orifice (9) covering the second end of the container. The paste dispensing container can be vacuum packaged in a gas-impermeable film for shipping and storage to prevent exposures of the paste contained therein to air. <IMAGE></p>
