1. A laminate for packaging, the laminate comprising:
a first structure comprising at least one layer of flexible material, wherein a surface of the first structure comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive;
a second structure adhesively laminated to the first structure, wherein the second structure comprises at least one layer of flexible material, and wherein one of the first structure and the second structure comprises an outer structure and the other comprises an inner structure;
an outer score line extending through a first thickness of the outer structure, wherein the outer score line delineates an outer opening portion of the outer structure that is separable from the outer structure along the outer score line;
