A container for solids or liquids is formed to have two walls which converge and meet at the apex thereof. A container opening is formed at the apex. Each of the walls converging at the apex is extended beyond the apex to form a flap or spout hingedly connected to the container at its apex. The contents may be sealed in the container by making the flap or spout to be an enclosed triangular shape and/or by sealing the flap or spout against one of the converging walls. Thus, access to the contents of the container requires either that the triangular spout or flap be cut, and/or that it be unsealed from the wall. The container may be resealed by applying a plastic clip to the folded flap or spout and/or by providing a reusable fastening to selectively retain the flap or spout against one of the converging walls. The container has a triangular configuration at its apex. This configuration may be continued throughout the whole of the container or it may be provided at its upper portion only.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A container comprising a base, an apex, and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base to the apex, wherein said base is substantially rectangular, and said peripheral wall is comprised of at least first, second, third and fourth upwardly extending wall portions, the first and third wall portions being opposed, and the second and fourth wall portions being opposed, wherein the first and third wall portions converge to define the apex of the container, said apex being linear and having a longitudinal extent which spans said second and said fourth opposed wall portions, said first wall portion extending from said base to the apex, and said third wall portion including at least a part extending at an angle relative to the base, wherein an elongate and substantially linear container opening is defined between said first and third wall portions and extends along the full longitudinal extent of said apex, wherein each of said first and third wall portions extends upwardly beyond said linear apex to together define a flap, said flap being hingedly connected at said linear apex, and wherein the first and third wall portions at the flap are separable to together define a spout.
