Claim Text:
1. A re-sealable sachet container, being made of a flexible material, comprising a reservoir portion for fluid contents and a nozzle portion being made of a flexible material, having an outlet conduit defined by said nozzle portion for the fluid contents and along which the fluid contents can flow in a flow direction downstream from the reservoir portion, and an outlet orifice at a downstream end of the outlet conduit, wherein an ear extends from an edge of the nozzle portion in a direction transverse to the flow direction, the ear is foldable across the nozzle portion about a fold line generally parallel to the flow direction, the ear being of such a length that the ear can be folded about the fold line all the way across the neck portion, a slot opening is located opposite the ear across the flow direction so that the ear can be received by the slot opening when the ear is in the folded configuration, the nozzle portion can be folded toward the reservoir down onto the sachet about the fold line transverse to the downstream direction and located downstream from the ear and slot opening to thereby form a fold in the nozzle portion which constricts the outlet conduit when the nozzle portion is in the folded configuration, and with the nozzle portion folded down onto the sachet, the ear is foldable over the folded-down part of the nozzle portion and threadable through the slot opening to thereby retain the nozzle portion in the folded-down configuration.
