Abstract

Packaging for a paste product is provided in the form of a flexible, closed storage container which has a sealable outlet opening on the underside. The opening is adapted for connection to a metering device which conveys the product using negative pressure, permitting substantially complete emptying of the container. To this end, the flexible storage container is configured with a thinner wall in its upper section than in its lower section.
