Abstract

The present invention relates to containers 36 having a plurality of walls 6,10,12 wherein at least one 12 of the plurality of walls comprises an inner 4 and an outer 12 panel. The inner panel 4 comprises a line of weakness defining a closure member 32. The outer panel 12 comprises an edge 34. The edge 34 is arranged such that outer panel 12 covers substantially all of line of weakness such as to protect this line of weakness from outside forces during transport and obscures an edge created along the line of weakness after separating closure member 32 from panel 4 from view.
