Claim:
1. A container containing a substance, said container comprising: a preformed deformable body; and a cover sheet having an edge portion, said preformed deformable body defining a filling cavity having an opening and an integral planar circumferential rim surrounding said opening, said opening being closed by said cover sheet, which is sealed to said circumferential rim at a circumferential sealing seam, said circumferential rim including a dispensing part, which is covered by said cover sheet, said dispensing part having a dispensing edge, which is recessed with respect to said edge portion of said cover sheet such that the dispensing edge is closer to the filling cavity than the edge portion of the cover sheet and defines a recess between the dispensing edge and the edge portion that has an elliptical shape, said cover sheet being sealed to said dispensing part at at least one rupturable sealing seam and outlet seams, but not being sealed to said dispensing part along the dispensing edge, the dispensing edge being positioned farther from the filling cavity than the at least one rupturable sealing seam, and the at least one rupturable sealing seam, the outlet seams and the circumferential sealing seam being configured such that compression of the deformable body causes the at least one rupturable sealing seam but not the outlet seams or the circumferential sealing seam to break, said outlet seams defining an outlet passage extending from said at least one rupturable sealing seam towards said dispensing edge of the dispensing part of said circumferential rim, such that, when said at least one rupturable sealing seam is broken, said substance is allowed to flow through said outlet passage between said dispensing part and said cover sheet towards said dispensing edge of said dispensing part.
