Abstract:
1. A single-use container, comprising: front and back panels positioned in face-to-face relationship with edges of the panels joined together to define a pouch; a first opening of the pouch defined by a portion of the edges of the front and back panels not joined together; a pressure-sensitive strip affixed to at least the back panel adjacent to the first opening of the pouch and configured to seal the opening when the opening is pressed closed; a stiffener flap defined by an arcuate score line in the front panel adjacent to the first opening of the pouch, the stiffener flap configured to bend sharply inward at the score line to form a stiffened projection when the container is pressed inward at extreme ends of the first opening; and a tear line formed in the container along which the container is configured to be torn, the tear line positioned such that tearing along the tear line will create a second opening in the pouch.
