A container is provided that has a compartment for storing an air-activated material for heating contents. The compartment is formed between a first web of material and a second web of material. The first web includes a first film layer laminated to a second film layer. A portion of the first film layer of the first web can be separated from the second film layer to reveal openings in the first film layer that allow air to enter the compartment. When the air contacts the air-activated material to activate the material, an exothermic reaction takes place that serves to produce heat, such as to heat the contents of the container. Prior to separation of the first and second film layers, the container is designed to allow ingress of oxygen into the compartment at a rate less than approximately 3 cc per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 23° C.

The container of claim 1, wherein prior to the separation of the second film layer from the first film layer, the container is configured to allow ingress or egress of water vapor into or out of the compartment at a rate of less than approximately 0.030 g per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 38° C. 4. The container of claim 1, wherein the second film layer of the first web comprises a plurality of score lines defining plugs, wherein the plugs are configured to be separated and displaced from the second film layer upon separation of the respective portion of the first film layer to create the openings in the second film layer. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein the first film layer of the first web comprises at least one score line defining at least one peelable portion of the first film layer that is configured to be separated from the second film layer, and wherein the at least one score line of the first film layer, the adhesive layer, and the score lines of the second film layer define a plurality of tortuous paths through a thickness of the first web configured to allow hydrogen gas to escape from the compartment. 6. The container of claim 1, wherein the first film layer of the first web defines the openings, wherein the second film layer is configured to cover the openings when the second film layer is adhered to the first film layer. 7. A container comprising: a first web comprising a laminate of a first film layer and a second film layer, wherein the first film layer is adhered via an adhesive layer to the second film layer;a second web peripherally sealed to the first web so as to form a compartment therebetween; andan air-activated material disposed within the compartment,wherein at least a portion of the first film layer of the first web is configured to be separated from the second film layer to reveal a plurality of openings in the first film layer so as to allow air to enter the compartment,wherein the air-activated material is configured to react with the air entering the compartment via the openings to activate the material, andwherein prior to separation of the second film layer from the first film layer, the container is configured to allow egress of hydrogen from the container at rate of at least approximately 10 cc per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 23° C. 8. The container of claim 7, wherein prior to the separation of the second film layer from the first film layer, the container is configured to allow ingress of oxygen into the compartment at a rate less than approximately 3 cc per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 23° C. 9. The container of claim 7, wherein prior to the separation of the second film layer from the first film layer, the container is configured to allow ingress or egress of water vapor into or out of the compartment at a rate of less than approximately 0.030 g per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 38° C. 10. The container of claim 7, wherein the second film layer of the first web comprises a plurality of score lines defining plugs, wherein the plugs are configured to be separated and displaced from the second film layer upon separation of the respective portion of the first film layer to create the openings in the second film layer. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein the first film layer of the first web comprises at least one score line defining at least one peelable portion of the first film layer that is configured to be separated from the second film layer, and wherein the at least one score line of the first film layer, the adhesive layer, and the score lines of the second film layer define a plurality of tortuous paths through a thickness of the first web configured to allow hydrogen gas to escape from the compartment. 12. The container of claim 7, wherein the first film layer of the first web defines the openings, wherein the second film layer is configured to cover the openings when the second film layer is adhered to the first film layer. 13. A container comprising: a first web comprising a laminate of a first film layer and a second film layer, wherein the first film layer is adhered via an adhesive layer to the second film layer;a second web peripherally sealed to the first web so as to form a compartment therebetween; andan air-activated material disposed within the compartment,wherein at least a portion of the first film layer of the first web is configured to be separated from the second film layer to reveal a plurality of openings in the first film layer so as to allow air to enter the compartment,wherein the air-activated material is configured to react with the air entering the compartment via the openings to activate the material, andwherein prior to separation of the second film layer from the first film layer, the container is configured to allow ingress or egress of water vapor into or out of the compartment at a rate of less than approximately 0.030 g per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 38° C. 14. The container of claim 13, wherein prior to the separation of the second film layer from the first film layer, the container is configured to allow ingress of oxygen into the compartment at a rate less than approximately 3 cc per 100 in2 per 24 hrs. at 23° C. 15.
